15 years and still going!
By Lisa and Naomi's mom
I'm always amazed to see this product still being sold at local Chinese supermarkets and here on Amazon. I've used mine for over 15 years now and quite regularly in the past 5 years. I don't see the non-stick stuff coming off the cook bowl but over time, there will be some small particles of rice stuck on quite permanently. I don't scrub because it is a non-stick surface. I've seen this happen with other rice cookers so I'm not sure you can get around this by just purchasing another brand. You're probably better off buying a softer wood paddle for cheap available at most Chinese/Japanese markets. My dad just sanded off the rough edges of the plastic paddle that came with my cooker. I haven't replaced my rice bowl yet as it still releases rice just fine. Unfortunately, the price is also unmoved after all these years.Btw, I see inexperienced friends buying large (e.g. 10 cup) rice cookers. This is generally not a wise idea if you're only cooking for 1 or 2 people most of the time since the larger the cooker, the larger the minimum amount of rice to be cooked.As a final note, I'm not aware of any heating element on the top of the cooker. The cooker is nicely sealed and does white rice well. Like many other cookers, it will also do brown rice well, except that the additional water requirements will result in an excessive amount of muddy brown splatter around the outside of the steam vent. It will automatically switch to a warming mode but unfortunately it does not have an auto shut off. Note that although you can warm for quite a while, the rice will eventually dry out and faster still if you are only cooking a small amount.

I never write reviews but this rice cooker is the most reliable piece of electronics I have ever owned. My parents gave it to me as a gift when I went to college in 1994, it survived undergrad, Peace Corps (yes, I love it so much it went to Honduras with me), then grad school, multiple moves, marriage and now parenthood. I rec'd a larger one as a wedding present but I still use my tried and true. It has always been reliable and cooks all types of rice perfectly. The only problem I have with it now is that the non-stick coating is a little scratched at the bottom (my fault - wasn't always careful with not using metal utensils) so I'm looking to replace the inner pot. Don't hesitate - this is a great buy and the four cup capacity has been more than enough for two adults and a baby even with seconds.

I purchased this rice cooker on advice of the nursing staff at the hospital where I was on staff. The Asian ladies kept a huge rice cooker going 24/7, and many a day, when Labor & Delivery got really busy, that was all we got a chance to eat. Rice with some soy sauce kept us going.Having been raised in Louisiana and eating rice almost everyday, I was amazed at how this rice cooker kept rice warm & ready to eat all the time, without the hassle of cooking in a pot. I decided then & there to get one for myself, and the nurses suggested Tiger brand as the most reliable. At that time they were hard to find in regular stores, so off I went to an Asian store & bought one.I have never been so happy with a small appliance! Even my husband, who had to learn from me how to cook a reasonable pot of rice, now can cook rice to perfection.Nothing has gone wrong with this cooker in all these years, but I will be upgrading to a slightly larger one, as I need more than a 4-cup cooker when there is company to feed.Oh yes--it is also very easy to clean, and I am almost obsessive about kitchen cleanliness.Another thing that I learned with this cooker is if I have leftover rice in the refrigerator or even freezer, it is so easy to warm it right up in the cooker. I just dump it in, add a small amount of water & turm it to cook--so there's no watching, no stuck-to-the-pot rice, and no mushy rice from overcooking.The only problem is that now I need a new non-stick insert, as mine is slightly scratched where people used regular spoons to dish up the rice. These I have only found at [...], they cost $59 and are out of stock at present. But my rice still doesn't stick to the pot & it is still easy to clean.When I do purchase my next rice cooker / warmer, it will be a Tiger. Why should I experiment, when this has worked so well for me for so many years? This current rice cooker will retire to AZ to winter with my husband when I get a new one. I only hope the newer models hold up as well as mine has.
