can you cook rice in this system?

Yes. The only issue I've found is the splatter from the vent hole so I no longer use this to cook rice.

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

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.

Yes, I have cooked rice in it. I believe the book it comes with gives you the rice/water ratio. I love cooking risotto in it also.

yes, there are direction for cooking rice. I use my steamer for veggies and it makes terrific hard boiled eggs. I haven't had much luck making 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 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!

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

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

Yes, u can absolutely make any rice with this rice cooker. If you cook only white rice, just buy a plain rice cooker and it will do.

I don't use this particular rice cooker, but a similar one. I cook oat groats (whole-grain oats) using the "porridge" setting. Works fine (1/3 c. groats, 1 c. water for one person). Steel cut would also work on that setting, I believe. Give it a go.

Yes, it steam cooks the rice. Water & rice both go into the rice bowl, then the steam on the bottom heats the water and rice. I've only ever used this kind of steamer to cook rice, I've never had a 'dedicated' rice-only steamer so I'm not sure how they work.

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.

Yes. Fill the inner pot up to the line corresponding with how many cups of rice are being cooked. Then fill the small plastic measuring cup that came with the cooker up to that corresponding number, and pour the water into the outer pot. Follow these steps and you will have perfect rice every time.

Yes, there is a guide for cooking different types and amounts of rice. I taped to the cupboard door (inside) near my microwave.

You can cook rice in the steamer. You need to soak the rice a few hours first. I don't have the exact recipe measurement but you probably need 3 parts water to 1 part rice. Steam for half an hour first. If it is not thoroughly cooked, steamed a little longer. As for brown rice be prepared to double the cooking time. Hope that helps.

Yes, but really and really slow. Microwave is the best way to reheat your rice.

Even tho I usually use rice cookers for rice...I cooked this rice the old fashioned way, on the stove. :) Good luck.

I don't know as I've never tried to cook rice in a pressure cooker. I do know that this Aroma rice cooker does a great job cooking rice and most anything else you want to cook in it.
