I hadn't noticed the comments on the cooker not being suitable for brown/other rices. I typically steam/cook brown rice and it seems to do okay. Some people might comment that the rice is perhaps a little stiff, (its not crunchy by any stretch, but sometimes it seems a bit underdone), but I find the brown rice is very edible. I've also steamed quinoa successfully.

Hi, This cooker can cook quinoa and brown rice. You will have to experiment with small batches first to get the water/grain/pasta ratio just right. For brown rice, you may have to pre-sale the rice for a couple of hours prior to cooking. Please consult the food package for cooking instructions.

I reread the owner's manual and it doesn't mention of it being a steamer, only a rice cooker. The manual contains recipes on mixed rice, rice porridge with herbs, sweet rice with mountain vegetables, and mixed brown rice.

I use mine to make brown rice. It cooks the bottom of the rice (closest to the heating element) to a chewy consistency when you wait for the device to completely switch off. You can manually turn it off a few minutes early and the rice will turn out fine. I happen to like the chewy consistency and think it's a plus.

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.

We recently cook brown rice a lot, because my wife demands eating brown rice. To be honest, I do not know how brown rice shall be cooked. I ate white rice when I grew up. I can tell how that taste like among other cooking methods. The brown rice has more moisture than the regular cheap rice cooker, which tends to cook brown rice a bit dry. However, it is a not as good as the brown rice cooked at Chipotle for my taste. My wife said she is happy with the result when I asked her, but we are all asian and just started eating brown rice.

Yes! This rice cooker is pressurized up to certain amount time so you can make any rice especially, jasmine rice but if you looking for cook just plain rice I would recommend to purchase plain rice cooker with any brand. This rice cooker is little pricey compare to plain rice cooker but if plans to cook all kinds of rice then I would recommend to purchase this one. I hope this would help to make your decision.

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

Have not cooked brown rice in it. Any rice cooker will cook brown you just have to add extra water. Makes fluffy white rice.

I haven't been able to. Using as little as 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.

Yes, you can. I have cooked everything from rice to fresh vegetables in mine. I absolutely love mine.

Hi Millie. I really hate it when people who don't know the answer answer anyway. It's so useless. Anyway - yes, you can cook it in a rice cooker. Thru trial and error I've discovered that pretty much any whole grain can be cooked that way. I have a small rice cooker and figured out that if I stick to 1 cup grains to 2 cups water it's usually fine. Amaranth doesn't have to be rinsed first but make sure you read the package of any other whole grain to see if that one does need to be rinsed.

oat groats are also fantastic when made in a rice cooker --just use brown rice setting.

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.

Yes, this one can make brown rice. It takes more water than white rice and double the cooking time but it comes out nicely.

Yes, that is one of the types of rice it can cook. If you put it on the "quick cook" setting, the brown rice will cook in less time (about 40-60 mins) and be more chewy. On the regular setting (about 80-120 mins), it will be more soft and fluffy.
