Rice cookers · Choose by your needs
If your recipe needs the firm/hard porridge scale, buy by that exact menu and its dry-rice range, not the cooker’s ordinary rice capacity. Tiger’s JKT-D10U lists a half-to-one-cup Firm plan; the larger JPW-H18U lists a half-to-two-cup plan without added ingredients, with a lower cap when ingredients are added.
Comparison updated 29 October 2026.
These examples contrast a compact half-to-one-cup Firm route with a larger Firm route whose ingredient plan is separately restricted; the exact-match list includes every qualifying model.
| Model | Maker's scale name | Plain porridge amount | Ingredient or portion limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiger JKT-D10U JKT-D10U (US5.5 supplied dry cups) | Firm Porridge | 0.5–1 supplied cup | Ingredient version is limited to 0.5 cup |
| Tiger JPW-H18U JPW-H18U (US1.8L /10 supplied dry cups) | Firm Porridge | 0.5–2 supplied cups | Ingredient plan ends at 1.5 cups |
Choose it when: The exact JKT-D10U instructions name Firm Porridge and separate its half-to-one-cup plain plan from the half-cup plan with ingredients.
The limit: It is a small-scale method: the ingredients plan halves the plain maximum, so check the recipe against the plan actually used.
Choose it when: The exact JPW-H18U manual documents a larger Firm Porridge range than the JKT-D10U and separately reduces the ingredient version's maximum.
The limit: The two-cup range belongs to the no-added-ingredients plan, not every porridge recipe; use the manual's separate scale and ingredient directions.
The matcher uses the hard-style choice for manuals that document a Firm or Hard porridge scale; that label does not promise a universal texture. The JKT-D10U and JPW-H18U both name Firm Porridge, so their instructions give a concrete basis for comparing this requested setting.
The JKT-D10U Firm plan covers 0.5–1 supplied cup, while the JPW-H18U covers 0.5–2 cups without added ingredients and up to 1.5 cups with ingredients. Choose the smaller plan for its stated range or the larger one only when your ingredients and portion follow its instructions.
These are porridge quantities, not ordinary White or Brown limits. Brown Porridge, congee, Thick Porridge, and Thin Porridge are separate method questions; choose the exact grain and maker's scale that match your meal.
The evidence establishes each maker's named scale and allowed amount, not a shared texture standard. Follow the exact manual rather than translating Firm into a universal result.
Not automatically. The JKT-D10U Firm plan with ingredients is capped at half a supplied cup, and the JPW-H18U ingredient plan ends at 1.5 cups rather than two. Use the matching recipe's limit.
