how long the rice can be kept warm without dried or smelly. The manual said it can last up to 24 hours. How about 36 to 48 hours?

Usually we do not leave the rice on the warm setting for over 24 hours. Our climate is very humid here so cooked rice does not last longer than 24 hours unrefrigerated.

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.

I believe they say 48 hours but I left mine out for 24 hours and it was good to go with no smell.

Hi, Alex...the product comes with a little empty bag that they suggest putting uncooked rice in and then heating it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up. I have not tried to heat the rice another way but I would suspect you could carefully saut it, dry, in a pan until warm but be careful. to to burn it, and then add the rice to the bag.

The measuring cup used to measure dry rice has a liquid capacity of 3/4 US cups. I suspect that it produces 1 cup of cooked rice. The instruction book recommends soaking the rice before cooking, 2 hours for brown rice. It also recommends warming the rice for 15 to 30 mins after the cooker switches off. This requires manually switching to warm. You may wish to purchase a cooker with an automatic warming switch. Then the rice will cook and stay warm without further attention from the chef.

Just like any other heating rice filled packet, maybe 10-15 minutes. It's a small packet on the inside (that's removable), about the size of a small bean bag or hand warmer device. I am guessing that if you keep it in a closed area, the heat stays a bit longer.

The rice is still good after a day. I wouldnt eat the rice on day 2 because you can see that the rice has change texture

About 30 minutes. And then it suggests you let the rice sit for about 10 more minutes to let the steam escape. You can also use the vegetable steamer while cooking the rice. You just wait till the rice is nearly done and put the veggies in about 10 minutes before the rice is done. I make a mixture of white and brown rice together. Then pour all the rice and the veggies into a skillet and add whatever sauce or broth or egg mixture. I love this cooker.

Yes, as long as it has been dry. I always buy in large bags and just store it in covered jars. No need to refrigerate rice.

White rice will take less than an hour, but it depends on how long you want to keep it on warm before eating. After it's cooked, I let it sit for another 10-15 min.

I think about 15-20 minutes...I don't have my book with me right now, but I do know this. The rice comes out perfect!

This question begets more questions....I guess it depends on how big/busy of a restaurant you are talking about. Remember it IS a SLOW cooker. If you want to prepare soups you need to give yourself 6 hours for the soups to cook and flavors to meld. It will hold 6 quarts (192 ozs) which would only provide 24--8 oz servings. As for rice, I've never tried it to cook only rice, but my guess is you'd be better off with a large electric rice cooker as found in an Asian market....they're large and fast!

I'm not great with details but I believe it takes 30-40min for white rice and 45min to 1hr for brown rice. Also, I use equal parts rice and water so the rice doesn't turn out mushy. :)

Probably not but it's not really good to keep food out for more than 4 hours anyways. When reheating rice in the microwave you can just flick some water on the rice or use a damp paper towel :)

I cook mine 14 min. high pressure. Not the rice cooker. It is a bit moist at first, but let it set a while. 2 to 1 ration.

i am not sure how long but it takes longer than with the regular rice cooker. but rice tastes better and you can set the timer so by the time you are ready to eat it will cook exactly on the set time. may take 30 min to 1 hour also rice are fluffier than the aroma brand i was using before

Normal cooking time for regular white rice is about 52 minutes to 1 hour depends on a setting you choose. There is a quick cooking mode that cooks rice 32-45 minutes, but I have not used the quick cooking mode. Manual can download at http://www.zojirushi.com/products/npnvc for more instructions.
