rice gets hard after 2 days, why?

The reason is continued loss of water when there is heat to keep the rice warm. We usually will discard the rice after 48hrs or make into fried rice.

Because the water evaporates and it gets dry. Be sure to wrap it and freeze it.

You have to cook whatever you are going to rice until fairly soft to avoid having to have a lot of strength. I got it because I wanted to make hash browns and spaetzle otherwise a potato masher is easier.

2 cups uncooked rice (Yield 4 cups cooked) takes 25-30 minutes for white and 90 for brown. Rinse rice well before cooking. This will remove the starch that causes the 'crust' on the bottom. I love this machine so much that I bought one for each of my children for their homes! Quick and easy!

This can be from water/moisture. Place in a zip-lock bag with dry (uncooked) rice 48hrs.

It's got to do with the pressure generated in the unit. It will make a loud click and 10 minutes later the rice is done.

It takes 55 minutes, and you can eat rice immediately. 35 minutes or so with the "quick" (less-pressured) mode.

It hasn't effected anything for me. This machine is designed for keeping rice fresh, warm and tasty for 72 hours, I take it much longer and it's still good. Stir occasionally and put on (extended heat) button.

I couldn't tell you one way or another for sure. Generally I don't eat my rice the second it's done cooking so it's in the being heated longer. That could help with the under cooking if that's what you're doing. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Keeps rice like it is freshly cooked. Works fairly well for 2-3 days. Thus, really no need to put in fridge.Note that I use it on short grain Korean/Japanese rice.

White Rice is about 40-45 minutes I believe. Brown is about 90-95 the unit automatically tells you when the rice is done and it is perfect every time as long as you use decent rice. if you use cheap Walmart rice it may end up being al dente style as it soaks up more water then most other rice.

Grinding rice helps eliminate powdering, a common condition with stone. Hopefully this granite is strong enough that it will not continue to powder. If it does then I would suspect the granite is of poor, weak quality. Could you kindly update us if the powdering eventually stopped after conditioning? I'm interested in buying this myself. Thanks! :-)

Yes, that is one of the types of rice it can cook. If you put it on the "quick cook" setting, the brown rice will cook in less time (about 40-60 mins) and be more chewy. On the regular setting (about 80-120 mins), it will be more soft and fluffy.

The instructions state 2 cups of dry white rice (meaning 4 cooked cups) take 30-35 minutes and brown rice takes 100-105 minutes. We cook brown rice more often and it only takes about 75 minutes, but the white rice is fairly accurate.

I too have prepared 1/2 cup of rice without any problems. Just remember to let it sit, unplugged, for a while after cooking otherwise a lot of rice will stick to the bottom.

I haven't had an issue with it. Also, if your rice is browning too quickly, try fiddling with the water ratio by adding a bit more.
