How well does this cook brown rice?

You need to add about twice as much water/broth as you would with white rice to ensure that it is fully cooked. For 2 cups of white rice I add to the "2" line in the pot. If I am using 2 cups of brown rice I add 3/4 more water. This creates a very soft rice, that my family will actually eat. You might wish to put a bit less for a more "toothy" texture. Sometimes I add a packet of dry pesto sauce mix that makes for a really nice side with veggies/fish.

Very nicely if you stick with a ratio of 2 - 3 cups water to 1 cup rice (depending on how firm or soft you like it). We add a little olive oil and salt at a minimum - seems to cook better, and sometimes substitute veg broth for some of the water for flavor.

It does but keep in mind brown rice requires more water. For example if you cook 2 cups of white rice, you will do it in 2 cups of water. To cook 2 cups of brown rice, you will do it using 3 cups of water. I hope this helps.

Cooks brown rice beautifully; detachable cord. I'm not sure if it's older, but mine works great - love it! Revision: maybe I have a slightly different model because I swear I unplug mine and tuck it inside for storage, but other respondents beg to differ.

I use the brown rice setting for brown rice and it works wonderfully. I don't know about gaba, haven't tried it yet but I would probably use the gaba setting the first time anyway to see how it turned out. After all, that is what it was designed for. Then, if I wasn't pleased I might try the brown rice setting. This cooker is amazing.

It will cook that much and just double the amount of water. If you are using brown rice just use al small amount more

not sure. If it is is is very thin. the bottom has stained a little from the water deposits in the outer pot. It is a good rice maker, I recommend it. E mail Aaron at Tatung to get directions for brown rice; it is different than white rice. enjoy

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.

Wish I could help. All I've ever done is cook brown/wild rice. Set it and let it go. Sorry.

I've done brown rice in it and all you need to do is alittle more water but it came out great. I bought this cooker for my daughter and I still have my original one that I bought 12 yrs. ago..They seem to last forever even using it at least 4 times a week and leaving it plugged in all night.

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 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'm not sure because I bought it last year and still as good as new. So far I'm very happy with it and cook perfect brown rice too.

I do not see why it should not cook brown rice. It is a fixed cord. I do not know if it is older but it works great. I love it.

I have not had the same problems. It sounds like you need a little more water. I have not had the chance to cook brown rice with it but with white rice i make sure the water level reaches the number inside the rice cooker that matches the number of cups of rice I use. I hope this helps.

I've cooked both white and brown rice in this tiger rice cooker and have no complaints. It cooks just the same as white rice.

I use the pan on my gas stovetop over the griddle burner. When I brown rice I make sure to use plenty of olive oil or chicken/pork/beef fat. I stir almost constantly, leaving the rice in one place just long enough to give it a little crunch.

we've been cooking all kinds of combinations of brown rice, quinoa, millet, etc. works great! you may have to adjust water amounts, but beyond that, nothing special required.

Beautiful: The DE103 has separate setting for Brown and sticky rice. I've had this rice cooker for about a year and I can't say anything bad, It's a wonderful rice cooker.
