I've cooked both white and brown rice in this tiger rice cooker and have no complaints. It cooks just the same as white rice.

Yes, this one can make brown rice. It takes more water than white rice and double the cooking time but it comes out nicely.

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

I used 1.5 cup of water per cup of brown rice (depending on rice) and it worked great. It does take a lot longer to cook.

To cook brown rice. But I had to return because when you leave it on warm it will burn the rice in a few hours. Stick will a tiger (made in Japan version). Its worth the money.

I haven't tried brown rice however they recommend you cook two cups at one time. I've done 1 1/2 and it stuck to the bottom a little bit but it worked.

It should work with both. Just watch out for the right rice-to-water ratio. Usually brown rice requires more water.

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!

You can make any kind of rice with a rice cooker. I cook brown rice in mine all the time. As long as you put in the right amount of water, the rice will turn out fine.

The rice cooker I got was defective, the rice was uncooked. Anyway, to cook brown rice, you can either soak it for a few hours beforehand, or add more water, so the rice won't be too dry or hard. Hope it answer your question.

My wife does long grain, short (Sticky) grain, Korean Medium grain, Forbidden [Black] rice, Red grain rice, Brown rice, and Lord knows what all. But then she is Korean. It even talks to her in Korean. It is probably the best of the rice cookers available.

It has cooked any type of rice, including brown, for me so far, including packages of a mix of brown rice, wild rice, and lentils. I've not tried white rice.

yes but you need to soak the rice grains in water for a couple of hours and then make sure you have enough water because brown rice requires a little more water

Hi Fernanda, yes it sure does. I only cook brown rice :) It works for quinoa, wheatberries, couscous, lentils, etc! To Health! :)

I too found my brown rice to be a little "mushier" than I would have liked. I just use a little less water than the marking on the cooker and have excellent tasting rice that is neither mushy nor hard.

I agree with your naturopathic doctor about the brown rice. I never liked it before either, but the rice cooker does a great job and the brown rice cooks softer and fluffier. Also, I often cook a blend of brown, red, and white rice that comes out beautifully.

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.

I tried brown jasmine rice in my pressure cooker and it was a disaster. I used the recipe in the manual. It called for 2 cups rice and 6 1/2 cups water for 20 minutes. Since I only wanted 1 cup I used 3.5 cups water. After 20 minutes I has lots of water remaining so DH put it back under pressure to try and cook more. I ended up with a soupy, sticky, gooey mess. Any ideas how to cook brown rice? ?

Kathy, I have not made brown rice in the steamer, but I can tell you that I love the steamer and use it for all my vegetables. No directions are included with the steamer, so I would suggest that you follow the usual directions for cooking brown rice. I hope this helps.
