4 Cup Electric Rice Cooker By Tiger Electronics

15 years and still going!
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...

16 years of hard use and still working great!
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.

Served us well for more than 12 years
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...

Tiger America 5.5 c. Elec Rice Cooker/Food S ( JNP-1000 )

Japanese Engineering at its finest
I've always considered it a point of culinary pride to cook rice by hand in a normal cooking pot. That is until I ended up with a 2-year-old who is a very picky eater, with rice one of the items on her "approved" list. Suddenly making rice went from a couple of times a month event to a couple of times a week. It was time to simplify the process of making rice. I looked at various models, read all the reviews on amazon and opted for the $105 rice cooker rather than the $20 one. I have not been disappointed. Every detail of this device is carefully thought out right down to the little plastic rice spoon holder on the side of the pot. Although purchased for making rice, I was delighted to discover that you can cook virtually any grain to good effect. So far I've made white rice, brown rice, black rice, red rice, quinoa, and barley. I even tried confusing it by cooking mixed rice, but this came out perfectly as well. Prior to cooking black "forbidden" rice in the Tiger, I had no...

14 years on, still cooking perfect rice!
Our Tiger JNP - 1000, 5 cup rice cooker was purchased sometime in mid 1998 and we borrowed it shortly afterwards when we got stationed overseas. The military family who sponsored us and helped us settle in, let us eventually buy it from them because it was the first time we had ever used a rice cooker and we simply fell in love with it. It was the most simple to operate and clean up kitchen appliance I had ever seen, and it cooked perfect rice each time. Because of this wonderful gadget, our staple food shifted from bread to rice and we became major rice consuming family, putting this Tiger to work almost every day. 14 years on, my family is still enjoying perfectly cooked rice, as it has over the years, as well as countless successful experiments involving rice and various other ingredients. I can safely say this old rice cooker has never let me down and performed perfectly every single time. I am here because I wanted to see if I ever needed to replace it would I be able to find the...

Great product
Tiger makes the best rice cookers. I've gone through a few rice cookers and they were all pretty terrible with either quality of the product itself or the cooked rice. Tiger is perfect, I'll never purchase any other brand again.

NFL Jets 4 Piece Placemats

Perfect addition to my kitchen
I have a "Jets" kitchen and originally had purchased a Jets table cloth for the table. It quickly tore in many places. When I came across these placemats, I figured I'd give them a try since the table cloth idea didn't work. These are great! They are sturdy and don't slide around. I recommend these for any Jet fan!

Reed & Barton Silver-plated Queen Anne Collection Wine Cooler With Liner

Reed and Barton, what more can I say?
The Queen Anne wine cooler is exquisitely made. Very fine detail and a deep silver luster. That's to be expected from R&B, but the very secure packing for shipping is a welcome surprise. The cooler came without a scratch packed in form fitting styrofoam, and the inner box was perfect for wrapping the wine cooler wedding gift.

Beautiful and Functional
This beautiful wine cooler was received soon after order and is a joy to use. The liner works particularly well.

Satin-Pac High Density Polyethylene Deli Film Sheets in Clear

Great product not easy to find
I've used this product for many years but haven't been able to find anything but the waxed paper kind locally. I'm a home user. It is great for repacking quantity meat before wrapping in freezer paper. It helps prevent freezer burn. I use it for separating cookies, cake slices, etc. when I pack them for camping. It peels away from frozen products easily. I'm so glad to have it again.

Villeroy & Boch Vieux Luxembourg Soup/Cereal Bowl

Really good
My dishes are from 1987 when the bottom of the bowl had a matching pattern. This bowl had no pattern at the bottom of the bowl.
