Can you use a rice cooker for this rice?

You can use a rice cooker with any rice but it'll be almost the same hardness as uncooked. It will puff if you do it on the stove with double the water and double the time.

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

I make mine in the rice cooker all the time - and it comes out beautifully. Better, in fact, than when I prepare it on the stove.

I rarely cook rice, and have a multicooker that does that very well. I don't think you can steam rice in this because the rice will fall through the holes in the steaming basket down into the hot water below. Actual electric rice cookers are cheap and automatic, so that's the way to go.

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.

Yes one cup of rice can be cooked - be certain to use the exact amount of water measured on the scale inside the cook pot. Use the measuring cup provided with the cooker for the rice. I prefer to cook 2 cups of rice and allow the rice cooker to hold today's uneaten on warm for consumption tomorrow. It's still really good rice.

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.

Follow the directions in the manual. It's different for this little rice cooker...

I think this pressure cooker is not so good for cooking rice. She is very good but for cooking meats, vegetables, beans.

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.

I've never used a rice cooker, but I use about 2-2 1/2 cups water for every cup of brown rice for cooking it on the stove top. Maybe you can convert this to what you need for your rice cooker.

We have not cooked that type of rice before. Sorry can't help you on that one!

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.

WikiHow has a nice tutorial on how to cook rice with a rice cooker. I will try and post the link here, but I don't know if Amazon allows hyperlinks in responses. http://www.wikihow.com/Cook-Rice-in-a-Rice-Cooker (If the hyperlink does not work, copy the "http" address into you browser address bar.)

Yes...but it's not the most helpful (contradicts itself). Basic instructions are 1 part rice to 2 parts water - brown and wild rices need a bit more water...sometimes I add a bit more when it's done cooking and let it stay on warm for a bit. I'm sure you can find a manual online...try here http://www.fixya.com/support/browse/rice_cookers_and_steamers or maxi-matic.com

I just pour the rice and water together into one of the metal bowls. The rice usually takes longer than the other foods so I start the rice first. I make brown rice with this cooker often. I don't soak the rice first, I am really impatient when it comes to cooking.

I haven't been able to. Using as little as ¾ cup steel cut oats, on either brown or white rice settings, the water ALWAYS boils over, getting starchy water all over the top of the rice cooker and spilling onto the counter. I've determined a larger rice cooker is needed to make oats for 2 people. If others can do it, I'd love to know how.

I think it is smart to get a new rice cooker. They are not expensive and all the brands are about the same.

You can, but I don't think that's a good idea. It supposes to cook rice only, oily food will decrease its useing time.
