Yes, it can cook it like you are doing it on a stovetop since it has the brown/sauté mode, or you can steam it.

To be honest i have thrown this product out. The insert began to pit and crack and company had no replacement parts and cust service was a nightmare.

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

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...

Yes....everything about this cooker is good except that white rice browns too quickly from what I'm used to. I would not buy this again but if you choose to, good luck.

Plain rice? Why would you buy this device to make plain rice? Maybe 15 minutes....but what a waste! Make a nice risotto instead! BTW, contrary to what "disappointed shopper" stated, I am very happy with this device and it makes really great risotto!

There are 2 modes for white rice. If you select quick mode, it takes 15~17 minutes to cook. I usually select quick mode when only white rice. If mixed with brown rice, I select normal mode.

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]

Yes, I am positive, the owner's manual has instructions for brown rice and my wife has done it. It will take longer than white rice. The cord is fixed and it is the current model. We also have had the older model for 20+ years and it still works.

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.

It's the same as white rice. Try it, and adjust. We use our to every kind of rice. A little experimentation, some notes, this cooker is my personal favorite.

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.

I have cooked quinoa with this cooker, it's great. Just use the white rice setting!

About cooking rice - I would assume so but have not tried it. The cooking insert is very large so you would need to cook a lot of rice and probably use the regular heat - not the slow cooking setting.

It depends on what you choose, white rice or quick rice. This rice cooker is very smart.

It is just a regular rice cooker that cook white rice, brown rice, porridge, warming. It is not a pressure cooker.
