I tried GABA rice setting with Brown rice, took over two hours but came out slightly softer than brown rice setting.

I use the brown rice setting for brown rice and it works wonderfully. I don't know about gaba, haven't tried it yet but I would probably use the gaba setting the first time anyway to see how it turned out. After all, that is what it was designed for. Then, if I wasn't pleased I might try the brown rice setting. This cooker is amazing.

I tried brown jasmine rice in my pressure cooker and it was a disaster. I used the recipe in the manual. It called for 2 cups rice and 6 1/2 cups water for 20 minutes. Since I only wanted 1 cup I used 3.5 cups water. After 20 minutes I has lots of water remaining so DH put it back under pressure to try and cook more. I ended up with a soupy, sticky, gooey mess. Any ideas how to cook brown rice? ?

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!

I haven't tried brown rice however they recommend you cook two cups at one time. I've done 1 1/2 and it stuck to the bottom a little bit but it worked.

Christina, one of your problems was that you should add two cups of water for every cup of rice. I've made rice in both the high pressure mode and the rice cooker mode and both work great. Brown rice does take longer to cook than white rice. Be brave Christina. try again. I prefer using the high pressure mode, I feel it does a better job. Refer to the manual's directions for making rice in the high pressure mode.

no. if brown rice takes longer than white rice then add a little more water. Ratio of rice to water determine the cooking time.

I use the brown rice setting for black rice...but I soak and sprout it first....The yogurt setting is for yogurt. The book shows how. Hope this helps.

Hate to say it, but I'm having the same experience. I'm definitely following the instructions correctly (correct measure, filling to the right line, fluffing, etc.), but my brown rice (all we use) is coming out mushy every time. I've tried a few varieties with the same results.Anyone have any ideas?

This model has: White Rice/Mixed, Rinse-Free, Quick Cooking, Sushi, Porridge, Brown, and GABA Brown settings. You can also vary your results quite a bit by altering the amount of water you use and/or how long you pre-soak.

Yes, I am positive, the owner's manual has instructions for brown rice and my wife has done it. It will take longer than white rice. The cord is fixed and it is the current model. We also have had the older model for 20+ years and it still works.

We went to a lot of trouble to find and buy this rice which was highly recommended for use in paella.Having done that, we prepared to cook paella and then we never did so I cannot answer your question from my own experience. I have a number of battle tested recipes that I could send you if that would help?

Two things Adam missed, there is sweet rice and Germinated Brown Rice settings also. I'd go with his advice though and check out the manual on their website, it gives the time for each, so it may have what you want just not listed as such. It's a great machine.

Need to use Japanese rice. ( short grain type ). Set according to directions on rice cooker.

If you don't like brown rice, then you probably won't like the wild blend, as there is brown rice in it. This blend cooks up very dense and chewy, which I really like, but if that's not your thing, I'd suggest you steer clear of it.

Yes, you could steam the rice and eat it. I don't think it will work with Brown rice because it cooks longer. I have another rice cooker and it has different timers for brown or white. Suama is made with mochiko or rice flour, so it won't work in the machine. If you are looking for just a rice cooker, there are other machines, if you plan to make mochi(sweet rice pounded into cakes) then this machine will do the job. I hope that answers your question.

Yep, I've cooked brown rice in it before, usually has a slightly different method (different amounts of water/time), but it usually says on the bag.

I won't claim to have so refined a palate that I can taste the subtle sweetness in flavor between new crop and regular or some of the finer variations in rice strains, but I do notice a difference in TEXTURE when I use the umami setting over the regular. Given that it's the default setting, it's pretty easy to just fire and forget. Twinkle twinkle little delicious rice! If you're really into the purity of the rice maybe you should step back from the machine. Apprentice with a sumo stable so you can spend a couple months learning how to properly wash rice before you even consider applying heat to it.
