For Soaked Wet Rice you may try another larger model by Chef Pro, model CMG617, amazon.com shows the description on their pages.

Too small for rice n very cheap quality. .mine stopped working in 2 months although I used it only for spices

Yes, it is right but be careful. run 30 seconds at a time. we burned the motor working a heavy batch of wet ingredients.

Nope. This would not work well for it - 1) it is too small to hold much more than handful of soaked rice and 2) the motor is not powerful enough. Have you tried the counter-top wet grinders?

Hello, I had a really bad experience with this grinder. I used it a couple of times for flax seeds, and it did fine, but it broke when I tried to grind coffee beans. Hard to say about your question. Wet rice is so much softer than coffee beans, but it did seem like a flimsy product.

We use it to cook quinoa all the time. It works great. We set it for white rice. two to one. we mix spices shallots garlic bayleaf cumin stuff like that in it. Then turn it off 10 minutes before it would have finished. Open and stir to separate the grains and so it doesn't get too sticky and overcooked. Proabably twenty minutes total. Could use the porridge setting maybe. This is if you like chewy/grainy not overly soft. WE toss with our favorte veggies/ green leafies mostly and garbanzos or other beans. Garnish with cliantro or parsley. One of our mainstays. Enjoy!!

Yes and no depending on what you want to cook. Yes : For anything that won't retain too much water e.g. Potato or when you evaporate all water e.g. rice dishesNo : Veggies, fish etc. These could get soggy (disintegrate) and you will have to strain things out at the end. Buying a separator (<$10 in any Indian store) or steamer basket is a good investment. Remember to remove the 'whistle' and steam for desired amount of time if you plan on using this as a 'steamer' and not a pressure 'cooker'.The quality of the steel (as others have already mentioned) is stellar. Cleaning it is extremely easy, unless you burnt something in it of course :) Yes and no depending on what you want to cook.

I don't believe it would be advisable. You should the pot/crock that came with it. That said, you can prepare very small amounts, down to 1/2 cup of dry rice.

Absolutely, 2 to 1 ratio water to quinoa, select your spices, habanero is my favorite, close and hit the rice button just once and walk away. This cooks it the best.

It is only used for dry grains. It can not be used for anything that is wet. I hope this helps you.

I do not know if you can grind dehydrated veggies, but the grinder is terrible. It doesn't stay at the desired setting. I would not invest into it. We returned it and got the family grain mill which was great for a hand milling grinder otherwise we have the wondermill more electric. Hope that helps.

You can, but I don't think that's a good idea. It supposes to cook rice only, oily food will decrease its useing time.

It should do fine grinding grains/seeds that aren't wet or oily. I use mine to grind millet and it works fine.

I got one just for rice mine works good on rice I think it will grind about anything you put in it. cant beat the price on it. you have to play with the adjustment on it then you will be ok.

i haven't cooked rice in it as yet, i wanted it mainly for steaming veggies & it works out quite well for that, i'm a lover of brussel sprouts & love to season them & steam them, as my husband isn't a 'veggie' person, this item works out well for my side items, i'll have to give the rice a try next ! maybe someone else has done rice & can help ?

I use mine to make brown rice. It cooks the bottom of the rice (closest to the heating element) to a chewy consistency when you wait for the device to completely switch off. You can manually turn it off a few minutes early and the rice will turn out fine. I happen to like the chewy consistency and think it's a plus.

I use a nice panasonic rice cooker and it is recommended , but the Koda farms website has instructions for stove top cooking.

Absolutely! Just like you're cooking rice. I put a tad more water though, probably 25% more than called for so that it comes out a little more tender and fluffier. Other than that it's really no different than cooking the rice. For awesome quinoa add seasoning to your water or better yet, broth!

I don't use this particular rice cooker, but a similar one. I cook oat groats (whole-grain oats) using the "porridge" setting. Works fine (1/3 c. groats, 1 c. water for one person). Steel cut would also work on that setting, I believe. Give it a go.

No. This rice cooker is meant for cooking rice. However, you can always add extra water when cooking rice and shut off the rice cooker manually after half and hour. You will get porridge but not a perfect porridge.

I love this deluxe model, from what I understand its far superior to the regular model. I mostly grind spelt and wheat. I have ground brown rice a few times with it and was pleased with the resulting flour. I did go back and order the motor for it too & am really pleased using it. I did grind rice with it by hand cranking and motorized both ways result in nice flour. Hope that helps
