I use it to grind flax seeds, and it works great, so since they are generally smaller then rice, I would think it would work just fine for brown rice.

Hi Kang ... Yes, I make porridge (actually steel cut oats) almost every morning in this rice maker. I also make grits and much more since it's nice that all is automatic and I have no worries once I hit the 'start' button. ENJOY! Chris P

It would grind much finer for sure, but since I do not eat wheat (we eat Gluten Free) I do not know for sure. I could go test it to see if it would make rice into granules (which I believe it would), to make cream of rice, only it started smoking yesterday, and shaving off plastic from some part inside and spitting the plastic shavings into the already ground flour. So now I am afraid to turn it on, and will be purchasing a new mill, but a different brand, for reasons already stated.

Never tried but it is remarkable powerful with wheat so no reason why it wouldn't do as well with rice. Be careful not to overload it and be sure it is securely attached.

I never tried grinding raw rice. But I grind whole spices (including Mastered seeds)... Hope rice will also grind.

this is similar to a juicer but for soybeans. i gave this as a gift for my mom and that's what she uses it for. i recommend a bean grinder for coffee beans. i've also seen my parents use a blender to grind coffee beans and turn toasted rice grains into a fine powder. good luck!

I'm answering an old question, but yes, it can grind seeds. I made tahini with it the other day -- just sesame seeds and olive oil. It worked very well.

I use mine to grind almonds and get almond milk as well as grind peanuts to make peanut butter. I should think it could grind rice too.

It works well for brown rice. I haven't found a rice it doesn't handle well (except wild rice which is not really a rice). I still need to do more wild to figure that one out.

We use it to cook quinoa all the time. It works great. We set it for white rice. two to one. we mix spices shallots garlic bayleaf cumin stuff like that in it. Then turn it off 10 minutes before it would have finished. Open and stir to separate the grains and so it doesn't get too sticky and overcooked. Proabably twenty minutes total. Could use the porridge setting maybe. This is if you like chewy/grainy not overly soft. WE toss with our favorte veggies/ green leafies mostly and garbanzos or other beans. Garnish with cliantro or parsley. One of our mainstays. Enjoy!!

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.

You could press the grain. I put the grain in a fine strainer and poured boiling water over it to steep. Very simple..not a powder

I used mine to crush and make a nice granular batch of chai mixed spices. It took a while, mainly because I was using it incorrectly. My son corrected my next effort and it did a quicker job. I was grinding/crushing coriander seed. I didn't get a powder so can't say if anyone else with more knowledge or experience could do better. It was a coarse product at the end much the texture of instant coffee crystals. This was my first mortar and pestle, so I was a complete novice.

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

I can't give an authoritative answer because I haven't tried grinding grain. However, the food processor attachment works beautifully in every way I've used it. The blades are very sharp, the speed is good, and the motor is quite strong. If a conventional food processor (Cuisinart, KitchenAid, etc) can grind grains into flour, then this unit could, too. Also, as a stick blender, I give it an A+.

Have not used it to grind grain, sorry. But it has done well with all I have used it for.
