Does it have a setting to make brown rice?

No setting, It cooks all rice based on weight and steam. Put the measured rice in at the water, also measured and it steams perfectly.

The Rice Cooker is made to cook no matter what kind of rice you use. It doesn't have a setting for a specific rice. You just have to read the instructions on how much water you use on the packaging label of the rice itself because some use more water than the other brand of rice.

we've been cooking all kinds of combinations of brown rice, quinoa, millet, etc. works great! you may have to adjust water amounts, but beyond that, nothing special required.

I do not see why it should not cook brown rice. It is a fixed cord. I do not know if it is older but it works great. I love it.

No it does not, and it seems to be pretty common these days for all top end rice cookers to not include that feature.

There are different options that you can use with the pressure cooker. There is a button to brown whatever you are cooking. This pressure cooker is the best that I have ever used.

If you find out where this rice cooker is from please let us know. As for brown rice, I usually put more water (ex. 2cups rice, 4 1/2cups water) it turns out fine.

Did you cook white rice or brown rice? I think the instructions are for white rice.

I have never used this to cook brown rice but I do believe that all you need to do is make sure you add enough water. Brown rice needs more water than regular calrose rice that I use. I would give it a try. You might also try this as this is what I do when I can remember. Spray the pot with nonstick spray, wash the rice (rinse rice until the water is somewhat clear), put the rice in the pot and then start it. This will minimize the rice that sticks to the pot. Enjoy!

Don't know where it was made. Japan or Korea, I think. I can tell you I haven't been able to get decent results when using this rice maker to cook brown rice. I've tried to vary the ration of water to rice in a number of ways. Each time the rice comes out very hard.

I have not tried brown, but with regular Jasmine rice I use 1 part rice to 1.3 parts water, cook on high pressure setting for 6 minutes and allow to steam on warm for 10 more. It works great for one to six cups of rice.

There is a white rice button and a brown rice button... both timed perfectly. Just hit the button and when done, it automatically switches to Keep Warm. I love it!

I have not tried brown rice but I think the times are longer than nessary. Progressive's web site is not at all helpeful so experminenting will be your best guide. Sorry.

This seems to be possible. I went to the Presto Pressure Cooker website and they have recipes and instructions for both white and brown rice. Good luck!

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 don't have the instructions with me, but it shows in the booklet that it can cook all different types of rice (there's like four, but white and brown are both included)

Hi, you can cook brown rice, but you have to make sure you soak the brown rice for a couple of hours first.
