Minimum amount of rice What is The minimum amount of dry rice this cooker will take? I often make no more than 1 c of brown rice and since this is an 8-c cooker, does it work for such a small amount.

I haven't yet bought this particular cooker but am strongly contemplating to. But from several years of experience with similarly designed cookers I can tell you that you can cook even 1 cup if you want. Just add enough water.

I also need an answer to this question. I have read recipes for this cooker on an external site that call for 3/4 cup of brown rice. these recipes are for 3 to 4 people.

Haven't used it for brown rice. I remember seeing someone online mentioning that they had to modify the included instructions for brown rice. I would do a search online. Other than that... this simple rice cooker does a GREAT job with white rice.

If you are using long-grain rice, then the measurement usually is - one cup of rice and two cups of water. For brown rice - one cup of rice to about two and a half cups of water. Tip - spray the bottom of the pot with spray oil, so rice won't stick to the bottom while cooking.

10 cup dry rice to use but have not cooked that amount in this cooker yet. It's measured with small plastic cups ( which are small) not the regular cup measurement.

Yes, this rice cooker does a good job on brown rice, but you might want to let the rice soak for a little while before you cook it. I usually use a mix of brown and white rice (without soaking) and it cooks them together very well. [just less than half brown rice]

I believe it will cook brown rice, usually it will take around 35 minutes. This Rice cooker is the best in the market, I have been using it in my restaurant for a few years.

Yes, I think most rice cookers can cook both brown and white rice. My wife is Japanese, so she cooks a lot of rice. Brown rice takes longer to cook, and a bit more water. She likes to soak the brown rice overnight before cooking. These cookers have some kind of sensor inside to tell them when the rice is cooked. Perhaps the sensor shuts off when all the water is evaporated.

Hi Beryl,I have only used the rice cooker only once because I did not have a rice cup to measure with. When I did try to do an "estimate" it did not turn out well. But there should be instructions in the pamphlet that came with the cooker. In general 1 cup of rice with 1-1/2 cup of water. I have ordered from Amazon a rice cup so I will try again soon.

The minimum that I have used is 1 cup, and it comes out perfectly. The rice cooker comes with a measuring cup. I have never made more than 3 cups of rice with this cooker, but I've never had the rice or water boil over.

I still cook rice 2:1. For brown rice I add a little more water, just as if it were on the stove.

The rice cooker I got was defective, the rice was uncooked. Anyway, to cook brown rice, you can either soak it for a few hours beforehand, or add more water, so the rice won't be too dry or hard. Hope it answer your question.

I make brown rice often in this steamer. One cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups water. I do not soak the rice beforehand. I use the other two tiers to steam baby carrots, usually, and set the whole thing for about 50 minutes to an hour. It all turns out perfect.

It depends on the rice. White is the shortest maybe 20 + min. Brown rice will take longer. How this inexpensive little rice cooker knows. is a mystery.

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.

Ive used this for brown rice and sticky rice (separately and together). However, it almost exclusively sees use with brown rice. The directions suggest 2.5 to 3 cups water for every uncooked cup of brown rice, but i find that 2.5 works best. Im not sure what specifically isn't working for you, but ive never had any problems. Maybe if you elaborate Id be better-equipped to offer a suggestion.

The smallest amount if rice I've cooked was 5 cups of Japanese Sweet Rice. The rice cooker really know how to make the best texture & flavor when using the correct type of rice & setting. It's truly amaizing!
