Can you cook this in a rice cooker?

Absolutely. I bought a $20.00 rice maker off Amazon, and it's a simple 1 part Quinoa to 2 parts Water! I make a couple batches every week.

About cooking rice - I would assume so but have not tried it. The cooking insert is very large so you would need to cook a lot of rice and probably use the regular heat - not the slow cooking setting.

This is NOT a dry steamer? You will need to put the rice in a inner pot & put water in the cooker in order to cook/steam. You could do anything with this rice cooker really.

Yes, you can cook as much or as little rice as you want . Just make sure you cook with the right amount of water

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.

Yes you can. Brown rice 2 cups/3.5 cups water/ 2tblspns butter(optional) for 25 min. White rice is the same except for cook time is 10min. These times are intended for Long Grain Rice and it is notrecommended for instant rice in this cooker. There are recipes that include rice, like Black Beans and rice or Red Beans and Rice, both are good. When cooking rice you have to select the Manual Cook button. I have not tried other Grains myself, so I can not comment on that. Hope any of this helps.

I never have tried to cook rice in it, nor would I. I use a rice cooker. This product steams delicious dumplings, and that is what it was meant to do. I recommend you buy this for steamed dumplings and get an inexpensive rice cooker for your rice.

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

Yes. I only cook brown rice in mine.I cook a cup of brown rice once a week/every week. Cooks it wonderfully. The cooker has held up nicely. Would highly recommend!

Yes, but you will have to set a temperature for the rice to cook, unless you use the slow cook option. I really would not use this as my main rice cooker.

If it is the same cooker as mine I assume it would cook a small amount nicely. I have not tried rice, but I think a quick-cooking rice would be your safest choice. I do know that melting chocolate or caramels works perfectly. Good luck!

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. I cook chicken and rice in it all the time in my electric pressure cooker.

Hi, I love to cook my rice in the rice cooker however I usually add just a lil more water and I make at least 2-3 servings. Making one serving usually burns or drys out quickly. Hope this helps!
