Are the rice cookers able to cook porridge?

No. This rice cooker is meant for cooking rice. However, you can always add extra water when cooking rice and shut off the rice cooker manually after half and hour. You will get porridge but not a perfect porridge.

Never tried - would not imagine how you could. It is a steamer for dim sum, buns, etc. I would not use it for rice. Get a rice cooker - I like the 14 cup stainless steel one from Aroma - available at Amazon, but we got ours from Walmart.com

I haven't been able to. Using as little as cup steel cut oats, on either brown or white rice settings, the water ALWAYS boils over, getting starchy water all over the top of the rice cooker and spilling onto the counter. I've determined a larger rice cooker is needed to make oats for 2 people. If others can do it, I'd love to know how.

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

I am sorry Dennis, I have not used the rice cooker yet. Slow cooker and pressure cooker are tops!

I only tried the rice cooker; I did not try any of the other components. I was so dissatisfied with it and with the confusing directions that I want to return the appliance but I don't know where to do so.

You can make any kind of rice with a rice cooker. I cook brown rice in mine all the time. As long as you put in the right amount of water, the rice will turn out fine.

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

Yes by using the stove function. You put your water and rice in, cover it, set the timer and you'll have perfect rice.

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.

Yes! I do this frequently. Use the porridge setting. For 2 people I use 1/2 cup oats (use regular measuring cup, not the one that comes with the rice maker) + 2 cups water. The oatmeal comes out perfect every time!

I could not understand your question. This is a good rice cooker for this price.
