When cooking meats or fish while making the rice, does the rice have the flavor of fish or chicken? And how does the meats turn out while steaming.

Mine has not had meat flavor. The steam flows upward so everything keeps its own flavor. I guess if you cooked a strongly flavored meat in the rice basket and veggies on top it may affect the flavor of the veggies but I have only cooked rice in the bottom.

Hello.I honestly have never tried. I do steam rice in it and it turns out wonderful. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Hi,Yes, you can do both. Since vegetables only take a few minutes to steam, it is recommended to place the steamer with vegetables into the pot near the end of the rice cooking cycle. If you place the vegetables to steam in the pot for the whole rice cooking cycle, the vegetables will be overcooked. You have to be always careful of the escaping steam when you open the lid.

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.

Yes. The quality of the cooked rice is equal, however the cooking time is different.

Veggies mainly, so they don't get waterlogged with steaming. I steam fish sometimes and set the plate right inside the steamer. Gyoza and Shumai dumplings do well for a super quick side or lunch. Steaming seems easier to control. Also steaming takes less time to get to cooking temperature than boiling a pot of water. Another method I use is to par cook something like chicken with uneven pieces that might burn on the grill, to give it a head start before grilling.

Separately no but they show recipes with veggies in rice during cooking. Steaming is so simple you could do that in pot with basket. This rice cooker excels at rice but will steam many ways too just not separately.

It looks and tastes the same and is made from rice so as long as you cook it correctly, I' d say yes but if your recipe tastes terrible it may be you and not the puffed rice, just kidding.

Thanks for your post--I called Sanyo customer service and they said cooking beans are fine. I haven't tried that yet. I have made rice numerous times in the cooking already and the results have been fantastic!

Yes you can cook rice and veggies at the same time. We do advise following whatever recipe guidelines you have for cooking times, as they may vary.

I've tasted food prepared by several friends and it was acceptable but definitely not as good as meat that is slowly smoked in a conventional smoker. There is a trade off between preparation time and flavor. The flavor of meat cooked under pressure with steam isn't the same as meat that is dry smoked. It's like comparing boiled smoked ham with prosciutto.

This cooks multiple types of rice ... white, sushi, brown, semi-brown, etc. It has markings as to which level to fill the water to, based on which type of rice you are wanting to cook. You can even do oatmeal (steel cut oats) and porridge.
