We've cooked white, brown, and wild rice in the cooker, and all have done fine

no. if brown rice takes longer than white rice then add a little more water. Ratio of rice to water determine the cooking time.

No, there's no setting for cooking brown rice but I have been cooking brown with it and it has no problem at all and the rice comes out nice and soft.

Once the rice cooks, you can leave it plugged in, and it will keep warm for up to 12 hours - white rice usually cooks in 20 mins and brown rice in 40 mins. There are different options for cooking rice, soups etc but there is no option for high or low

I just pour the rice and water together into one of the metal bowls. The rice usually takes longer than the other foods so I start the rice first. I make brown rice with this cooker often. I don't soak the rice first, I am really impatient when it comes to cooking.

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.

one or two cups of white rice takes 1 hour either way. Brown rice never done it. Nice machine and quality!

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.

The Rice Cooker is made to cook no matter what kind of rice you use. It doesn't have a setting for a specific rice. You just have to read the instructions on how much water you use on the packaging label of the rice itself because some use more water than the other brand of rice.

The instructions state 2 cups of dry white rice (meaning 4 cooked cups) take 30-35 minutes and brown rice takes 100-105 minutes. We cook brown rice more often and it only takes about 75 minutes, but the white rice is fairly accurate.

This seems to be possible. I went to the Presto Pressure Cooker website and they have recipes and instructions for both white and brown rice. Good luck!

I am sorry Dennis, I have not used the rice cooker yet. Slow cooker and pressure cooker are tops!

It has 2 buttons cook & warm. Just push cook, a beep will sound when the cooking is finished & the cooker switches to warm. The directions recommend waiting 10 minutes before opening cooker.I make brown rice in it, I soak the rice for a few hours then wash it in a special bowl for washing rice that I found online when I ordered this rice cooker. The instruction book that comes with the rice cooker is very informative.

Yes it will cook brown or white rice. I don't know how long, but I assume it takes about the same time as white rice; depending on how much you are cooking... Usually a full pot takes a little less than an hour...

I only cook brown rice (for dog food). I measure the rice first, put it in the cooker, then measure the water and put it in. Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice. I turn the cooker on, set the "Delayed Timer" to "one", which is going to soak the rice for one hour then press the "Brown Rice" setting. I cook 4 c. water and 2 c. brown rice. At the end of 2 hours, the rice is done perfectly. What does the instructions say about cooking white rice? Just follow the instruction and it will work fine. I love my rice cooker and it makes my job of making dog food a lot easier. Hope this helps. :) I only cook brown rice (for dog food).

Yes it does. In the little instruction booklet that comes with the cooker, they advise adding a bit more water with brown rice. I only use brown rice and it works wonderfully.

No, the temperatures are preset for the type of rice you are cooking. There is a menu of different types of rice to choose from like white rice, brown rice and mixed

Brown rice is always difficult and takes longer to cook. It is always hard and not as tasty as the white rice. I always use beef broth or chicken broth to cook the brown rice. Rinse brown rice first then do ratio 1:1.5 --for every 1 cup of rice, use 1.5 cups of water or broth to cook it. Better yet, soak the brown rice with your broth or water first for at least an hour before you turn on your cooker. Hope this helps.

Haven't used it for brown rice. I remember seeing someone online mentioning that they had to modify the included instructions for brown rice. I would do a search online. Other than that... this simple rice cooker does a GREAT job with white rice.
