I have yet to make brown rice, but will post as soon as I do. Cut back a little on the water?

Try cutting back liquid. Mine has turned out different when I use broth or stock instead of water.

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.

Not sure, mine hasn't hit that point yet but wondering if raw rice will work. I'm guessing clumping due to moisture & here when someone cell phone goes into water accidently they throw it into a bag of rice. We also throw rice into our saltshakers to keep it from clumping. Maybe wrapping some rice in a cheescloth or something else that breathes will help?

I haven't had an issue with it. Also, if your rice is browning too quickly, try fiddling with the water ratio by adding a bit more.

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.

Could experiment and try what you do with brown sugar... place a very small piece of bread in there and wait. Next morning you should have it unclumped.

Yes. My jasmine rice is not sticky. When I bought this sticky rice it did not say jasmine and it was sticky....perfect sticky.

use the same procedure as for regular rice. after cooking brown rice several times -- you can adjust the amount of water used to achieve the desired results.

Try a few tablespoons of rice. Grind into a fine powder. Wipe out. Picks up all oils from whatever was ground last and dries the grinding chamber nicely. Note that this will eventually "fog" the lid because of the abrasive quality of the rice. If you want to keep a clear lid, try something else.

Not so much with the rice. I put some basmati in some soup and a little over three hours, it's still hard.

Happens to me every time. I've used it 3 times to make healthy veggie muffins for my toddler. Mushy in the middle after baking for 45 minutes! That's why I am here on Amazon trying to figure out why...I've used a cookie sheet underneath and put it directly on the rack. Same issue. Brown on top, mush in the middle. What do we do??

For brown rice I use more water and it comes out fine - don't think it knows what kind of rice you are cooking

Warm water and paper towel. If this doesn't remove the stain use dry white rice. Grind the rice into a fine powder. Then throw out the rice. Repeat until the rice stays white when ground. No soap

Thanks for your post--I called Sanyo customer service and they said cooking beans are fine. I haven't tried that yet. I have made rice numerous times in the cooking already and the results have been fantastic!

I still cook rice 2:1. For brown rice I add a little more water, just as if it were on the stove.

If I've had time to soak the rice for a good while, then I used 1 1/2 cups water to one cup rice. I normally make jasmine rice. If I haven't had time to soak the rice then I use about 2 cups water per 1 cup rice. I also put a little butter at the bottom first and it makes the rice at the bottom a little brown and crispy which I love. I will also add spices if I want to flavor a particular rice. It does come with instructions, but don't remember off the top of my head what it specifically says.
