If you specifically want the maker's Premium setting, both the JKT-D10U and JPW-H18U document it with finish-timer support. Their ranges differ: 1–5.5 supplied cups on the JKT-D10U and 1–10 on the JPW-H18U. Premium is a menu name here, not a tested quality ranking.
Comparison updated 29 October 2026.
The examples show different documented upper amounts for the same named program and both support finish timing; every matching model remains linked.
| Model | Premium route | Documented dry amount | Finish timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiger JKT-D10U JKT-D10U (US5.5 supplied dry cups) | Premium White | 1–5.5 supplied cups | Finish-timer eligible |
| Tiger JPW-H18U JPW-H18U (US1.8L /10 supplied dry cups) | Premium White | 1–10 supplied cups | Finish-timer eligible |
Choose it when: The exact JKT-D10U manual names Premium White and gives a one-to-5.5-cup range on a plan that supports finish timing.
The limit: The range is for Premium White, not the cooker’s separate Express-Limited, Quick, or Brown methods.
Choose it when: The exact JPW-H18U manual also documents Premium White with a finish timer and extends the supported dry amount to ten supplied cups.
The limit: Its one-cup minimum and ten-cup maximum apply to Premium; other grain and Quick plans have separate quantities and timer rules.
Premium is the maker's named rice route, not evidence that the cooker was independently tested to produce a better result. Compare the range, water direction, and timer support documented for that setting.
The JKT-D10U Premium White plan covers 1–5.5 supplied cups; the JPW-H18U plan covers 1–10. Both list finish-timer support. Choose the amount that fits your normal dry batch and follow that exact program's directions.
A Premium setting does not imply that Quick, Express-Limited, Brown, or another grain menu shares its range. If a particular batch or scheduled finish is essential, verify those conditions for the method you will use.
No comparative cooking test is supplied here. Premium is a maker's menu name; this answer compares documented capacity and timer support only.
No such transfer is supported. The JPW-H18U manual treats Premium and Quick as separate methods and marks Quick as not finish-timer eligible; use each menu's own table.
