I use my Nordic microwave rice maker to make rice. It's done in about 10 to 12 minutes at 50% power. Believe you can order the plastic Nordic rice maker on Amazon. I also use it to cook pasta. As for using the Microhearth for cooking rice, I'm not sure. It might burn. Anyway the Nordic has been quite useful for many years. You could warm up any excess rice that you have made in the Microhearth.

Yes, just add a little more water and cook for longer than you would white rice. Instead of 2x the water, do 2.5x and cook for closer to 40 minutes

Yes! This rice cooker is pressurized up to certain amount time so you can make any rice especially, jasmine rice but if you looking for cook just plain rice I would recommend to purchase plain rice cooker with any brand. This rice cooker is little pricey compare to plain rice cooker but if plans to cook all kinds of rice then I would recommend to purchase this one. I hope this would help to make your decision.

Of course you can cook brown rice as well as white. The water-rice proportions are a bit different, as is the cooking time (brown takes a bit longer) but yes, you can.

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.

Sorry. I never tried. I only use it to cook white rice and brown rice and they turn out perfectly.

Yes, this pot would work fine to cook rice; As with any recipe, you would want to use the correct proportions of water to your amt of rice per your recipe. The amt of water needs to take into account that the water will come to a full boil before you turn the heat down to simmer. Since this pot holds 2 qts. ( 8 cups), you probably would only use about 4 cups of water max to make sure it doesn't boil over.

We haven't cooked rice in it but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. Unit gets to 300 degrees. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn

Hi, you can cook brown rice, but you have to make sure you soak the brown rice for a couple of hours first.

No. It's not designed for that kind of equipment. A rice cooker is going to be a high wattage/high drain item. This smaller unit is designed for such things as laptops, radios, small lights (LED, ideally), etc.

No. There is not difference in rice whether you cook it with this cooker or otherwise. This one just saves your time because of auto-off function and saves a place on your stove.

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.

The cooker gets up to 300 degrees. Boiling point is only 212. so yes you can cook rice, or warm up canned foods, leftovers etc.

Yes, it can. Not only rice but other grains as well. You can also make stews and soups. Most slow-cooker recipes can be cooked in this model.

Yes, it can although the rice takes longer than the vegetables to cook. In some instances, it depends on the vegetable one may be steaming. I like mine well done. The only rice I steam is the organic brown rice, and this rice requires more water than white rice and a longer time to cook which would definitely overcook the vegetables.
