It takes about 45 minutes when we cook 7 cup (uncooked) medium-grain brown rice.

White rice will take less than an hour, but it depends on how long you want to keep it on warm before eating. After it's cooked, I let it sit for another 10-15 min.

I adjusted the water and time for brown rice and suggest adding an additional cup of water (3 cups instead of 2 cups) and adding 15 minutes to the cook time. This provided me with tender, fluffy brown rice.

I haven't tried brown rice however they recommend you cook two cups at one time. I've done 1 1/2 and it stuck to the bottom a little bit but it worked.

I used 1.5 cup of water per cup of brown rice (depending on rice) and it worked great. It does take a lot longer to cook.

I haven't used my steamer (the 14 cup model) to make white rice - only brown rice, and only one pound of rice at a time (never more or less). I rinse my rice very thoroughly, drain it well, and then put it in the steamer with a pinch of salt and 42 ounces of (filtered, cold) tap water. On the 'Brown Rice' setting it takes ~2 hours and 25 minutes to cook, and the rice is always flawlessly done. (I don't use any timer setting and I don't ever leave it on 'warm' after it's done cooking.) I go through about a pound of brown rice a week with this Aroma cooker, and it's never disappointed me in any way.

The brown rice to water ratio is 1C rice to 1.5C water. You can use slightly less (dryer rice) or more (moister rice) water, but not significantly more or less. Once any amount of brown rice reaches pressure, it generally takes 20 minutes. White rice cooks a lot faster!

I have cooked brown rice in my cooker. You have to use a lot more water than with white rice. Use an additional unit of water with brown rice.

I have never used this to cook brown rice but I do believe that all you need to do is make sure you add enough water. Brown rice needs more water than regular calrose rice that I use. I would give it a try. You might also try this as this is what I do when I can remember. Spray the pot with nonstick spray, wash the rice (rinse rice until the water is somewhat clear), put the rice in the pot and then start it. This will minimize the rice that sticks to the pot. Enjoy!

I haven't measured the time, but it is probably 10-15 minutes for white rice. Brown rice takes a little longer since you have to add more water.

I have not tried brown, but with regular Jasmine rice I use 1 part rice to 1.3 parts water, cook on high pressure setting for 6 minutes and allow to steam on warm for 10 more. It works great for one to six cups of rice.

A little wider because it is a square shape. It has white and brown rice settings, the brown rice takes almost twice the time. I do mixed white and brown rice (3 or 4 to 1) and used white rice setting which takes about 45 min

Yes. I've only made brown rice, though. I'm sure if you google "pressure cooker + rice" you'll find a lot of info about how to do it. For brown rice, I heat the pot on high, add a cup of brown rice and stir until it's hot, add a tablespoon or so of olive oil and a couple of pinches of salt and stir and then add 1 1/2 cups of water. Cover the pot and lock the lid and put the valve on top. When the valve starts rocking, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for 17 minutes with the valve rocking gently. If it stops rocking, turn up the heat a little. If it rocks too hard, turn it down a little. After 17 minutes, take the pot off the heat and let it cool down by itself until you can take the valve off without releasing any pressure. Take the lid off and fluff the rice with a fork. You'll have to experiment with the exact heat setting and the time. It could be anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes and you may need to have the heat a little higher or a little lower... Hope this helps.

I cook brown rice mixed with 25% wild rice at the setting of "Brown Rice." The mixture cooks well with 150% of water without presoaking, but it takes 110 min. When time is short, I use a pressure cooker; it takes about 30 min. When I was a child, I used to eat barley at every meal, but I don't know how to cook. I will ask around. We always ate buckwheat in as noodles. I have just bought a bag of quinoa. I will find an answer in a month.

Normal cooking time for regular white rice is about 52 minutes to 1 hour depends on a setting you choose. There is a quick cooking mode that cooks rice 32-45 minutes, but I have not used the quick cooking mode. Manual can download at http://www.zojirushi.com/products/npnvc for more instructions.

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.

Yes, it does cook brown rice well. I followed the instructions on the bag of rice, and I think I added a little more water. It came out fine. However, white rice comes out better on top of the stove. I ususally bring 2 cups of water to a boil with salt, then add 1 cup of rice. I cook it on medium low for 14 minutes, then shut off the heat and leave it covered for about 10 minutes. It comes out so fluffy, it falls off your fork. In the rice cooker, I always get a gray gelatinous layer at the bottom of the pot, and it's kind of sticky.
