Been waiting forever for eBay Bing Lee to have 20% off so I could purchase this rice cooker. Original price was $329 and is now $249 (no signs of saying its on special so it might be the new RRP) however other retailers are still selling around the $320 mark.
The Apple of rice cookers, totally personally opinion on how you eat your rice, but nothing beats evenly cooked fluffy rice after work - yes, I'm Asian.

    If it’s tiger, the rice cooking (assuming decent rice) is good irrespective of IH Or no IH. If you can, go for the IH though .

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 15/02/2021 - 20:33

      If it’s IH It will prob be okay. The secret is actually in getting good rice.

      • garage sale on 15/02/2021 - 20:37

        yep, good rice and right amount of water, if you use too little or too much water there is nothing the cooker can do to fix that …. it can't drain if too much waterand it can't add water as it's not plumbed in.

        Wondering if this makes rice better than my $100 rice cooker or it's just people who buy tiger know how much water to add and so get better results ?

        • cuckchump on 15/02/2021 - 20:55

          the amount of water u put in is usually at leasts maximum is 2cm above the rice grain level, if u put more then 2cm it becomes soggy rice not to the point like porridge/congee…just 2cm is enough if u want rice only…

          • Kammi on 15/02/2021 - 21:09

            @cuckchump: When I do first knuckle method with this exact rice cooker, water is at 4 cups for 2 cups of rice lol.

            first knuckle method is awesome for stovetop cooking

              @Kammi: I tell my rice cooker how many people will eat, the type of rice and desired consistency. My rice cooker tells me how many cups of rice and ml of water I should add. I got Tefal Multicook & Grains, bought for $79.

          • Quantumcat on 16/02/2021 - 02:07

            @cuckchump: My method is half a cup of rice per person and equal amount of water plus a little bit (like an eighth of a cup per person). Always comes out perfect in my $20 kmart cooker

  • HL2 on 15/02/2021 - 21:00

    I lay my palm on top of the rice and so long as the water level hits my knuckles, the water level is spot on.

    • umoddbro on 15/02/2021 - 22:41

      My parents use that method, I prefer putting my index finger ontop of the rice and its good once the water touches the first joint/knuckle of your finger.

    • jastreb on 16/02/2021 - 09:34

      I heard Asians have small knuckles so the rice always comes out dry

    • tdw on 16/02/2021 - 14:43

      i used to do that as well as the index finger method.

      Why spend $600 on a phone when a $100 phone will do the same thing?

      • Quantumcat on 16/02/2021 - 02:09

        Is it only the brand name that people care about when spending $300 instead of $30 on a rice cooker? Or can it actually do anything more?

        • buckster on 16/02/2021 - 09:04
          +1

          The rice tastes better, cooked more properly

          • Quantumcat on 16/02/2021 - 09:14

            @buckster: Won't the taste of the rice depend on what rice you buy? It would be interesting to do a blind taste test and see if proponents of expensive rice cookers can actually tell the difference or not.

            • buckster on 16/02/2021 - 09:18
              +3

              @Quantumcat: It's hard to describe but the rice itself is somewhat fluffier? We've been using the same rice and when the MIL dropped the tiger on us the overall texture of the rice improved a lot.

              Consistency is another thing which is better vs the old $30 one we had.

              I guess you still need to eat a lot of rice to justify it though

            • zeomega on 16/02/2021 - 09:19
              +2

              @Quantumcat: As with most types of cooking. Ingredients could be fresh and fantastic, but if the cook is average, the food will come out average or just above average at best.

              • Quantumcat on 16/02/2021 - 11:13

                @zeomega: Yeah all fair enough! I guess I've always liked coconut rice a bit better from Thai restaurants than making it myself with a $20 kmart cooker. Presumably restaurants have the best equipment and aren't using a bunch of $20 cookers. Maybe the Tiger rice cooker would make similarly good rice. I can't tell the difference between restaurant and home cooked plain white rice though

                • zeomega on 19/02/2021 - 09:13

                  @Quantumcat: What recipe are you using?

                  Coconut oil, Coconut milk, salt, pandan leaves (optional), few Ginger slices (optional).

                  Coconut oil contributes to the fragrance.
                  Coconut milk contributes to the texture and flavour.
                  Salt as needed to enhance flavour.
                  MSG as required if that's your thing.

                  • Quantumcat on 19/02/2021 - 09:21

                    @zeomega: Ah, I was just using coconut milk. That must be why it doesn't taste as good

      Actually the Russell Hobbs one is really good in my experience, always a perfect outcome - like restaurant quality.

      Specifically model RHRC1 for $39 on Amazon with 4.5 stars avg review.

      This product has generally better reviews on the internet than the Tiger one if you Google them both.

    • tdw on 16/02/2021 - 13:47

      we used to go through quite a few of those cheapo kmart cookers. they simply don't last long — the non-stick coating would come off or it would just stop working. which was a shame, 'cos some of them were rather cute/compact. nearly all rice cookers sold here have the non-stick coating which we didn't like (and didn't need if you use the right amount of water) so we had to get a Khind cooker over from Malaysia.

    Can I get a review on these Tiger cookers vs Aldi digital cookers? Just got one Aldi last week for under $60 and can't seem to fault it.

  • Ron280 on 15/02/2021 - 22:59
    +4

    How does the recent Aldi rice cooker compare to this?

    My Breville rice cooker died last week and I purchased the Aldi one a couple of days ago. Using the same basmati rice, the Aldi rice cooker resulted in a much fluffier, evenly cooked and ultimately tastier rice and it only cost $60.

    Definitely worth spending a little more compared to the everyday brands under $30 to make the rice go from an 5/10 to an 8.5/10. Admittedly I haven’t used a $600 rice cooker but I assume that’s an 10/10!

    However, for those looking at purchasing this Tiger rice cooker, I’m wondering if it’s worth spending $250 to achieve rice that’s an 9.5/10?

  • jayzee on 15/02/2021 - 23:36

    You don't need a Tiger Rice cooker, it's over rated, and over priced.

    I had one, it never cooked perfect rice except the first time, not sure why. Then after less than two years of normal use, the electrical wire linked from bottom part to the lid melt (may be from a short-circuit), it seems there was some sort of wiring to the lid to detect the cooking temperature? Anyway, $300+ rice cooker dusted in less than two years.

    I bought an under $100 Breville on special, it cooks nice rice, in my opinion, it's better than the Tiger.

      I can wholeheartedly recommend the Philips Grainmaster https://www.amazon.com.au/Philips-Grain-Master-Cooker-White/…

      Had it for years, does terrific rice. Comes with a function where it has the rice cooked fresh to the time of your liking (for instance when you get home), does excellent reheat of rice. Can apparently do lots of other grains but I’ve never tried. I use it for Jasmin, original Japanese short grain (my favourite) and Basmati varietals and it works well for all of these. This is one of my best kitchen appliance buys ever (together with my Braun Multistix which I now had for 18+ years and working without a hitch).

        most optimised yes if your definition is purchasing a device that you have no control of but Apple does. Can't even swap parts between two good iphones as Apple tries so hard to stop people from repairing Apple phones. Software upgrades that slow your 2 year old phone down so you have to upgrade. Can't believe people support such a company.

        • Sammy Boi on 16/02/2021 - 14:13

          Yet it still outperforms the android OS. Every brand except Google is flipping a coin when it comes to putting that on their device

    I'd go for a Cuckoo rice cooker. I bought this one about 5 years ago in South Korea for about the equivalent of $65AUD. They really mark up the price in Australia. I was so happy with it the next time I was in South Korea I bought another one as a spare.

    It was this model https://cuckooworld.com.au/cuckoo-electric-rice-cooker-6-cup…

    It's great cooker and you can keep rice in there for ages and just get a scoop when ever you like. So you can put the rice on and press a button. It never ever sticks at the bottom. And you can fine tune settings for your particular taste. I did muck around with it for a bit but found the default settings perfect.

    • MysticalWok on 16/02/2021 - 10:44

      Yeah, i think my next rice cooker would be a Cuckoo. Just curious to know, is there a "white rice" cook function menu on the Cuckoo?

      The menu functions i see in the pictures are:

      • Glutinous Rice
      • Gaba Rice
      • Porridge
      • Steam
      • Mixed/Brown Rice
      • Slow Cook

      I'm assuming for white rice/jasmine rice you use the glutinous rice menu function?

      • yellowfever on 16/02/2021 - 13:34

        Correct I press the Glutinous rice button for white rice and cooks great

    • B-Rad on 16/02/2021 - 20:37

    I’m using Kmart Sunbeam 20$ rice cooker for the last 15 years… still going strong. Perfect rice every time. It’s simple hence easy to clean. I would hesitate getting such bulky electronic cookers with many things that can potentially go wrong, it looks high maintenance.
