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.

You can make any kind of rice with a rice cooker. I cook brown rice in mine all the time. As long as you put in the right amount of water, the rice will turn out fine.

Interesting question! I do not think I would do this. The instructions that come with the rice cooker do not address using this for long term cooking. Would stick with a crock pot for a stew. Crock pots have thicker sides and would hold the heat better, I would think.

It is not meant to be used with the electric rice cooker. You have to use it in the microwave.

Hi. I bought this rice cooker a couple years ago but had to return it because it's defective after using it once. You have to contact the seller in order for you to get an answer.

Other than canned soup, I don't think so but I have never tried to cook anything but rice (and it does not do a very good job of it at all). But it might be interesting to try steaming fresh shrimp or some veggies to find out.

I didn't cook rice in it as far, but in the grocery I saw that some of the rice possible to cook particular in the steam cooker. Technically you should be able to do so.

I never have tried to cook rice in it, nor would I. I use a rice cooker. This product steams delicious dumplings, and that is what it was meant to do. I recommend you buy this for steamed dumplings and get an inexpensive rice cooker for your rice.

It has some included recipes in the manual. I believe chicken soup was in that list of included recipes. However, using the "multi-cook" mode, I don't see why you couldn't cook anything in this rice cooker.

Yes! It is very easy to make with this rice cooker and it comes out great! There are lines on the inside that show you how much water to put for 0.5 or 1.0 cups of rice for porridge.

I have cooked it same time as white rice as the amount of water the say for white rice but added a half cup more water. Zojirushi is the best rice cooker and lasts forever!! Romascatering, Roma.

Absolutely. You can steam the rice or you can slow cook but I prefer the steamed one. You can also use the regular cook option to cook it.

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.

No, you cannot cook small amounts of rice. It is a 6 quart cooker and the manual recommends it be at least one third full for cooking anything. Recommend the Hamilton-Beach Rice Cooker/Steamer (especially for small quantities). The sides will get too hot I think without food at least 1/3 of the pot.

yes, there are direction for cooking rice. I use my steamer for veggies and it makes terrific hard boiled eggs. I haven't had much luck making rice
