Can you cook both sticky (sweet) and fluffy rice in it?

My wife does long grain, short (Sticky) grain, Korean Medium grain, Forbidden [Black] rice, Red grain rice, Brown rice, and Lord knows what all. But then she is Korean. It even talks to her in Korean. It is probably the best of the rice cookers available.

I don't believe it would be advisable. You should the pot/crock that came with it. That said, you can prepare very small amounts, down to 1/2 cup of dry rice.

I like sticky rice - Korean style. I rinse the rice. Then add 1 cup of water for each cup of rice.

This seems to be possible. I went to the Presto Pressure Cooker website and they have recipes and instructions for both white and brown rice. Good luck!

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.

Hi Millie. I really hate it when people who don't know the answer answer anyway. It's so useless.Anyway - yes, you can cook it in a rice cooker. Thru trial and error I've discovered that pretty much any whole grain can be cooked that way. I have a small rice cooker and figured out that if I stick to 1 cup grains to 2 cups water it's usually fine. Amaranth doesn't have to be rinsed first but make sure you read the package of any other whole grain to see if that one does need to be rinsed.

Yes you can. As long as you don't over fill it. I also cook lentils in the rice cooker.

Sticky rice is perfect! Have not tried the simple brown but a mix of wild rice was great.

Yes, just put a damp cheese cloth on the steamer. So you can steam sweet rice

Good question, when I bought this I was under the assumption that you can cook the rice and warm your food at the same time, but that is not the case. Your food has to be warmed separately and then you can put it on the already cooked rice in warming setting. If you leave the food container in the same compartment as the rice before steaming, there will be no room for the steam to escape all the rice is cooking and probably will cause some type of malfunction

No special setting is required. In order to make sticky rice, all you need to do is add the rice and the water and let it set for a half hour before pushing the cook button. This gives the rice time to soak up the water which leads to sticky rice. The booklet which is included may have additional advice. Good luck and happy sushi making.

Yes, it can be cooked as you do any other rice. You can use a rice cooker or regular pot.

Yes..the rice cooker makes the rice a bit sticky, and I like it that way. Just add a little more water then recommended, and make the rice a little moister. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can. I've never made five cups in mine. I always add a few drops of oil and then there's never a problem with the rice sticking to the bottom. I love this rice cooker and am so happy that I found one that doesn't have the toxic non-stick coating like my old one did.
