Can I use this for Wild Rice?

You would have to experiment a bit. I have never had success but you may. I have, however, had success with the Uncle Ben's Converted Wild Rice (the minute knid). I just don't have the patience for the regular kind. I do make rice'n'beans in it. Let me know if you have success.

yes, you can.you might be able to make less than the 3 cups of regular rice I make in it, but yeah, you can.

I have used it for almost everything including several types of rice. The water boils and than steams. perfect for rice. Nice in that nothing sticks to te bottom.

Haven't tried them yet... I would suspect so because it works great for brown rice ;) R

Not sure but what I DO Know is that the only rice that is natural is Wild Rice (long grain). Any other rice white, brown, black ect. ect. is a hybrid & contains starch. In the cooking process the starch tends to get sticky that's why white rice especially tends to stick to the sides and bottom of the pot. Out of all hybrid rice black rice is the least starchy but I would just buy the wild rice because the molecular structure is complete because its native to the earth (meaning it was found by man not made by man) Wild Rice is starchless (well at least the Non GMO kind)

Yes, it can be cooked as you do any other rice. You can use a rice cooker or regular pot.

I have not done it myself, but you should be able to. The manual says it is fine. I have no trouble with wheat berries or dent corn, so rice should be no problem.

We have not cooked that type of rice before. Sorry can't help you on that one!

So far I have found the Lundberg Wild Blend to be but cultivated wild rice. Brown rice is very good for you, much better than white or wild but it does taste "different" . I think the reason it does is that, basically, brown rice is a whole grain rice. Since it is suppose to be better for you than the better tasting rices, I suggest you try doing what I do and that is I mix my rice to suit my taste. Like you, I'm not really hot on brown rice but I use it nonetheless. I'll mix a 1/4 cup of brown with this Lundberg Wild Blend being 3/4 cup and it masks the 'chewy and funny' taste rather well. I also use soups as a base for my rice which helps the taste of the rice. So far I have found the Lundberg Wild Blend to be but cultivated wild rice.

It really all depends on what you use it for. If only rice, than a regular model would suffice. Now if your making mixed dishes that use meat and poultry, than the pressure cooking option is a must. not to mention, if you love brown rice, but hate the hardness that accompanies brown rice. The Gaba brown rice feature pressurizes the water to 221 degrees Fahrenheit to increase the absorption of water in the rice to make it as soft as white rice. If you use this as a main kitchen appliance, than the cost seems rather inexpensive. but if it's just to make white rice, than cheaper options are available.

I would say no, but you might get away with a rice dish. It's a clay pot so dry high heat probably isn't good for it, would just stick with soups or a braise.

yes. I use mine for this at least 3X/week. I use long grain rice. Only Basmati really needs washing. Hope this helps. Doug

Yes you can. Brown rice 2 cups/3.5 cups water/ 2tblspns butter(optional) for 25 min. White rice is the same except for cook time is 10min. These times are intended for Long Grain Rice and it is notrecommended for instant rice in this cooker. There are recipes that include rice, like Black Beans and rice or Red Beans and Rice, both are good. When cooking rice you have to select the Manual Cook button. I have not tried other Grains myself, so I can not comment on that. Hope any of this helps.

If you don't like brown rice, then you probably won't like the wild blend, as there is brown rice in it. This blend cooks up very dense and chewy, which I really like, but if that's not your thing, I'd suggest you steer clear of it.

If your rice cooker is under 100 Watt then my answer is YES, check your manual of rice cooker...

dont think so,it is not hot enough compare to rice cooker. even reheat food will take longer the cooker

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.

Sorry. I never tried. I only use it to cook white rice and brown rice and they turn out perfectly.

I suppose you could use it to make oatmeal, but I would definitely keep an eye on it while its cooking. I only ever use this rice cooker to make sushi rice.
