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.

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!

White Rice is about 40-45 minutes I believe. Brown is about 90-95 the unit automatically tells you when the rice is done and it is perfect every time as long as you use decent rice. if you use cheap Walmart rice it may end up being al dente style as it soaks up more water then most other rice.

I'm not great with details but I believe it takes 30-40min for white rice and 45min to 1hr for brown rice. Also, I use equal parts rice and water so the rice doesn't turn out mushy. :)

I just set it and let it....but I think it takes about 40 minutes for brown rice. When it's done, the pot turns down low and keeps the rice warm. Unless you leave it for a really long time, it should not get dry. My rice always came out mushy, and since I bought this the rice always comes out with a nice texture.

How long does it keep the rice warm please? like 12 hours? 2 days or things like that? Thanks

It does cook brown rice just fine but it takes about 45 minutes compared to 20 for white rice. I haven't cooked white rice in so long I don't really remember how long it takes. I cook brown rice several times a week. Usually with vegetable or chicken broth.

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 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.

The rice cooks in around 25 minutes. But I usually end up with a "crust" on the bottom of the rice.

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

Christina, one of your problems was that you should add two cups of water for every cup of rice. I've made rice in both the high pressure mode and the rice cooker mode and both work great. Brown rice does take longer to cook than white rice. Be brave Christina. try again. I prefer using the high pressure mode, I feel it does a better job. Refer to the manual's directions for making rice in the high pressure mode.

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!

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.

Standard procedure of cooking rice is to take 1 cup of rice with 1.75-2 cups of water and soak it for 15 minutes before starting the cooker. The cooker automatically stops after cooking or it will switch to 'keep warm mode".

Yes it will cook brown or white rice. I don't know how long, but I assume it takes about the same time as white rice; depending on how much you are cooking... Usually a full pot takes a little less than an hour...

I'm sorry but I haven't actually used it for rice -- I use the slow cooker feature -- throw in a bunch of veggies, chicken stock, a package of chicken and a cup of brown rice and cook it for 6 hours -- delicious!! Very easy to clean as well -- but I have no idea how long it takes to cook just rice -- sorry! Hope that helps somehow...

I just sent it on 30 min (timed cook). I will try it with the white rice setting.

I love this electric rice cooker! It cooks white rice in about 20 minutes. Brown rice takes a little longer. I usually don't mix brown and white rice..

I never cook 1 cup of rice. I guess it just take about 15 minutes or less. But depent what kind of rice you cook. I alway use the white rice from Thailan( $22.00 to $25.00 ).I hope that is will helpfull to you.

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.
