How long does it take to cook 2 cups of white rice? We have a Rival one now and it take 60+ minutes. Thanks. :)

The instructions state 2 cups of dry white rice (meaning 4 cooked cups) take 30-35 minutes and brown rice takes 100-105 minutes. We cook brown rice more often and it only takes about 75 minutes, but the white rice is fairly accurate.

It takes about 60 minutes to cook 2 cups of brown rice on the regular speed, and about 40 minutes on the quick setting. Obviously white rice should be faster.

I usually cook 3 cups and it takes 35 to 40minutes. So I would guess 2 cups might take 30 to 35 minutes.

I haven't tried it yet with only two cups, but the book says 2 cups uncooked rice takes 30-35 minutes. Or 17-22 minutes using the Quick Rice button. Also FYI 2 cups of Brown Rice takes 100-105 minutes or 38-43 minutes on the Quick Rice button. :)

I've only cooked rice in my pressure cooker once and I used a 1-2 ratio (rice to water). It took about 8 minutes and I did not add water to the bottom. Just put the rice and water in the removable pot, move the dial to 'pressure' and set timer at 8 minutes...it was perfectly cooked.

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.

It does take 60+ minutes with this as well. That is for 2 cups rice and about 6 cups of water.

I use it to steam rice all the time, brown rice mostly. It comes with a basket (see the photo--that white basket inside of the steamer that is it). 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water inside the basket. For brown rice, it is 50 minutes. I imagine it's a bit less for white rice. I followed the booklet that came with the steamer. Good luck!

It varies to some extent. Water temperature, amount of rice, type of rice and altitude can change the exact temperature. If you just drop the rice in with water and start: Quick Cook: 27-39 Minutes Sushi: 40-55 Minutes White/Mixed: 40-55 Minutes Porridge: 55-65 Minutes Brown Rice: 80-100 Minutes If you use the timer setting the minimums are: Sushi: 55 Minutes White Rice: 55 Minutes Porridge: 65 Minutes Brown Rice: 100 Minutes Quick cook can get the rice done really quickly, but it isn't nearly as good. As for oats...I have no idea.

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 it dose cook 20 cups of uncooked rice and it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to including stand time.

We cook our brown rice this way: 1 cup of water in the hopper, two cups of rice in three cups of water in the bowl. At the end of the cycle it's still just a bit too wet, but we pop a lump of butter in at that point, and leave it in the warming mode for 10-20 minutes while cooking the rest of dinner. When it's time to eat, it's perfect.Before this cooker, we had one of the fancy fuzzy-logic computerized cookers. I think this one does a better job, really.

Why do people comment if they don't want to offer an answer? First, fill the reservoir with water to the fullest level. The rule of thumb for White Rice regardless of how it's cooked, is 1 Cup uncooked White Rice to 2 Cups cold Water. Always use double the amount of water as you do rice. When it's cooked, you'll end up with approx. 2 Cups of White Rice using this equation. Put rice and water into the included Plastic basket, & set the timer according to directions. If you don't have directions for some reason, I'd look online for a replacement booklet, or use the info on the bag of rice as a guideline., My steamer takes approx 20 mins. for 1 Cup uncooked rice, it's an older version of this unit. Timing can vary for many reasons. I would check the cooking process often, and turn unit off when rice is rice is fluffy with a fork. Rice, as well as veggies will continue to cook even after the timer stops unless you remove the food from the unit. If you're fussy about overcooking, make sure you stay close by. I did have to practice with rice a couple of times before getting it just right. Once you get the timing of your favorite foods down, you'll never want to be without a steamer, and the process becomes second nature. Good luck!

Haven't really timed it, but white is about 20 minutes and I cook a lot of brown rice and it seems to take about an hour. That is what I plan for when preparing my meals. Absolutely LOVE this rice cooker!

I find that whether making one cup of rice or more takes my rice cooker 30 minutes. Except for black rice which is harder and that takes 1 hour total. After the first 30 minutes it automatically goes to keep "warm" mode. I reset the cooker again to cook for the extra 30 minutes. Cooker gives me time to chill in between or prepare the rest of my meal while doing its thing.

The most I have done is 2 cups rice uncooked yielding around 4 cups cooked. You could probably do another cup dry rice and it would hold it. It's not a large cooker, but works perfectly. I love it for small amounts.

Brown rice cooks really well. And you measure it the same as white rice which makes it very easy. The smallest amount you can do is 2 cups.

There are 2 modes for white rice. If you select quick mode, it takes 15~17 minutes to cook. I usually select quick mode when only white rice. If mixed with brown rice, I select normal mode.

Hi, I've only cooked brown rice, 5 cups at a time, and it takes 35-45 minutes.

My husband cooked quinoa in it and it would take anywhere from 1-3 hours. I think rice would be similar. It was very inconsistent. The plug on ours burned after a few uses and was replaced under warranty. That one only lasted a couple of weeks (being used once or twice a week) and the plug burned up. I wouldn't recommend buying it.
