Yes, I think most rice cookers can cook both brown and white rice. My wife is Japanese, so she cooks a lot of rice. Brown rice takes longer to cook, and a bit more water. She likes to soak the brown rice overnight before cooking. These cookers have some kind of sensor inside to tell them when the rice is cooked. Perhaps the sensor shuts off when all the water is evaporated.

We have never had problems with cooking white vs brown rice... we even cook yellow rice in our cooker. No matter what type of rice we cook in our rice cooker, it cooks it perfectly each time.

Never tried it. So far just tried medium grain white rice.Sorry I don't know. See if they have their own web site that might say

For this question, I cannot answer, because on it only two settings can be found: cook and keep warm. Also I just cook white rice, I just like white rice. So I do not know how long it will take to cook brown rice. Sorry!

Yes. The quality of the cooked rice is equal, however the cooking time is different.

Yes, it does cook brown rice well. I followed the instructions on the bag of rice, and I think I added a little more water. It came out fine. However, white rice comes out better on top of the stove. I ususally bring 2 cups of water to a boil with salt, then add 1 cup of rice. I cook it on medium low for 14 minutes, then shut off the heat and leave it covered for about 10 minutes. It comes out so fluffy, it falls off your fork. In the rice cooker, I always get a gray gelatinous layer at the bottom of the pot, and it's kind of sticky.

I don't see why not, though it probably works best with multigrain or brown rice, since it needs to simmer longer than white rice

Yes, this one can make brown rice. It takes more water than white rice and double the cooking time but it comes out nicely.

I have cooked brown rice in my cooker. You have to use a lot more water than with white rice. Use an additional unit of water with brown rice.

I have only cooked White Rice in this particular Rice Cooker. The booklet it came with says that you can cook vegetables also...but I have never tried. I cook White Rice several times per week. It is very easy to use and very easy to clean. I absolutely love it!!! Hope this helps you with your decision.

You would have to experiment but I'm sure you could. I've only cooked rice in mine. Really it's just a really good Bon stick plus it retains the moisture really well. It's really well made and easy to clean.

It really all depends on what you use it for. If only rice, than a regular model would suffice. Now if your making mixed dishes that use meat and poultry, than the pressure cooking option is a must. not to mention, if you love brown rice, but hate the hardness that accompanies brown rice. The Gaba brown rice feature pressurizes the water to 221 degrees Fahrenheit to increase the absorption of water in the rice to make it as soft as white rice. If you use this as a main kitchen appliance, than the cost seems rather inexpensive. but if it's just to make white rice, than cheaper options are available.

It works great for both white and brown rice. I tried steel cut oatmeal and turned out well, but so far have not tried wheat, barley. According to the Aroma

I hadn't noticed the comments on the cooker not being suitable for brown/other rices. I typically steam/cook brown rice and it seems to do okay. Some people might comment that the rice is perhaps a little stiff, (its not crunchy by any stretch, but sometimes it seems a bit underdone), but I find the brown rice is very edible. I've also steamed quinoa successfully.

we've been cooking all kinds of combinations of brown rice, quinoa, millet, etc. works great! you may have to adjust water amounts, but beyond that, nothing special required.

I, too, find it difficult to achieve the same results with brown rice that I get with white rice. This last batch of brown rice came closest but still no cigar. It is quite possible that brown rice will never cook to the same fluffyness that white rice cooks to. One thing I did read was to spray the bottom of the cooker with a non stick material (Pam or such) and that helped. Because brown rice needs to cook much longer it is inevitable that some will burn. I'll keep trying and if I can't get the results I'm looking for I'll switch cookers!! And try, try, try.

Yes, it does. The instructions include information on how to cook brown rice.
