How well does this cook brown rice or a combination of half white, half brown?

I love this electric rice cooker! It cooks white rice in about 20 minutes. Brown rice takes a little longer. I usually don't mix brown and white rice..

Sorry, I have only cooked white rice. I am still happy with its performance.

Sorry. I never tried. I only use it to cook white rice and brown rice and they turn out perfectly.

Have not cooked brown rice in it. Any rice cooker will cook brown you just have to add extra water. Makes fluffy white rice.

I use the pan on my gas stovetop over the griddle burner. When I brown rice I make sure to use plenty of olive oil or chicken/pork/beef fat. I stir almost constantly, leaving the rice in one place just long enough to give it a little crunch.

We have the 5 cup model and rarely cook more than one cup also. One cup is the minimum for both white and brown rice.

I adjusted the water and time for brown rice and suggest adding an additional cup of water (3 cups instead of 2 cups) and adding 15 minutes to the cook time. This provided me with tender, fluffy brown rice.

Did you cook white rice or brown rice? I think the instructions are for white rice.

There are 2 modes for white rice. If you select quick mode, it takes 15~17 minutes to cook.I usually select quick mode when only white rice. If mixed with brown rice, I select normal mode.

I have cooked brown rice in my cooker. You have to use a lot more water than with white rice. Use an additional unit of water with brown rice.

Yes....everything about this cooker is good except that white rice browns too quickly from what I'm used to. I would not buy this again but if you choose to, good luck.

It does cook brown rice just fine but it takes about 45 minutes compared to 20 for white rice. I haven't cooked white rice in so long I don't really remember how long it takes. I cook brown rice several times a week. Usually with vegetable or chicken broth.

I think the programmable features and sensors and logic that turns it to warming mode when the rice is done. The downside with the expensive machines is that the cooking is slower and longer. 90 minutes or more for brown rice, so you need to be someone who plans ahead/is organized.

It will cook that much and just double the amount of water. If you are using brown rice just use al small amount more

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.

It works well for brown rice. I haven't found a rice it doesn't handle well (except wild rice which is not really a rice). I still need to do more wild to figure that one out.

It's still a two-to-one ratio. The package actually says to use less water, but I find that the rice comes out too tough/undercooked if I don't use a two-to-one ratio. So, basically, cook it the same way you would cook white rice.
