For Soft Porridge, the Tiger JKT-D10U documents only a half-cup batch, while the larger JPW-H18U covers half to 1.5 supplied cups. Both have a separate Firm method; choose by the exact Soft range rather than the cooker’s ordinary rice capacity or a different porridge scale.
Comparison updated 29 October 2026.
The examples expose the difference between a half-cup-only Soft route and one with a documented 1.5-cup ceiling; all matches remain reachable.
| Model | Soft Porridge method | Documented dry amount | Why the limit matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiger JKT-D10U JKT-D10U (US5.5 supplied dry cups) | Soft Porridge | 0.5 supplied cup | A half-cup-only route |
| Tiger JPW-H18U JPW-H18U (US1.8L /10 supplied dry cups) | Soft Porridge | 0.5–1.5 supplied cups | The Soft plan differs from Firm and ingredient variants |
Choose it when: The exact JKT-D10U instructions identify a Soft Porridge method and set its documented amount at one-half supplied cup.
The limit: The source does not establish a larger Soft batch; do not borrow the one-cup Firm maximum.
Choose it when: The exact JPW-H18U instructions give the Soft scale a larger upper amount than the JKT-D10U while keeping the named method distinct from Firm Porridge.
The limit: Its 1.5-cup limit applies to the documented Soft plan; added ingredients and Brown Porridge use separate instructions.
The soft-style filter requires a documented Soft Porridge scale, not a general porridge menu or a guess based on the finished rice. Here the exact manuals label a separate Soft program, so their dry-cup amounts can be compared directly.
The JKT-D10U Soft plan is for 0.5 supplied cup; the JPW-H18U Soft plan is for 0.5–1.5 cups. If you need a larger amount, the second plan has the broader documented range, but its Soft method still must be followed exactly.
Both examples also have Firm Porridge plans, but those have different maxima. A maker's Firm, Hard, Thick, or Thin directions do not change the Soft amount; Brown Porridge and congee are separate grain-specific decisions.
No. The manuals list Soft and Firm separately. The JKT-D10U's Soft amount is half a cup even though its Firm route extends to one cup.
No. The page compares the exact named setting and dry amount; it does not claim that different makers produce an identical texture. Use the manual's water scale and recipe.
