Can you cook these in a rice cooker?

I do not have a rice cooker, but would assume so. It may change the texture depending on how long they cook for.

What kind of rice cooker are you talking about? I used to cook lentils a "ka-ching" rice cooker and it worked splendidly. I now have a rice/slow cooker combination and it actually seems to take a bit longer to cook--so does rice but that's another story. At any rate, just be sure to plenty of fluid; and your lentils will cook up nicely.

No, you cannot cook small amounts of rice. It is a 6 quart cooker and the manual recommends it be at least one third full for cooking anything. Recommend the Hamilton-Beach Rice Cooker/Steamer (especially for small quantities). The sides will get too hot I think without food at least 1/3 of the pot.

No, I wouldn't think you could put them in the oven. They are pretty thin. Exactly like what you would get from Chinese food take out and I have a feeling it would melt in the oven.

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.

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

Not sure. You would have to cook them longer. They may char on the outside before heating through.

Yes, you can. However, i don't think it cooks rice very well. It doesn't cook it long enough on the top and the bottom gets overlooked.

Never tried - would not imagine how you could. It is a steamer for dim sum, buns, etc. I would not use it for rice. Get a rice cooker - I like the 14 cup stainless steel one from Aroma - available at Amazon, but we got ours from Walmart.com

Absolutely. You can steam the rice or you can slow cook but I prefer the steamed one. You can also use the regular cook option to cook it.

Yes. I only cook brown rice in mine.I cook a cup of brown rice once a week/every week. Cooks it wonderfully. The cooker has held up nicely. Would highly recommend!

Yes you can cook rice in it - drain holes are smaller than rice -don't usually need to drain rice

Hi Millie. I really hate it when people who don't know the answer answer anyway. It's so useless. Anyway - yes, you can cook it in a rice cooker. Thru trial and error I've discovered that pretty much any whole grain can be cooked that way. I have a small rice cooker and figured out that if I stick to 1 cup grains to 2 cups water it's usually fine. Amaranth doesn't have to be rinsed first but make sure you read the package of any other whole grain to see if that one does need to be rinsed.

you can easily cook one cup of rice (2 cups water) in this cooker. I love mine, use it for small amounts all the time, you may wish to stir midway through the cook so it does not stick. I love my cooker.

This is a rice cooker. You can cook some vegetables on top of the rice but only per the instructions. You can cook porridge in it but once again per the instructions.

I rarely cook rice, and have a multicooker that does that very well. I don't think you can steam rice in this because the rice will fall through the holes in the steaming basket down into the hot water below. Actual electric rice cookers are cheap and automatic, so that's the way to go.

My rice sticks a little bit so I just have to give it a few taps into the rice cooker bowl. Although, they are not actually stuck in the holes. You may have to switch to a larger grain of rice.

You can use a rice cooker with any rice but it'll be almost the same hardness as uncooked. It will puff if you do it on the stove with double the water and double the time.
