Does this do a good job with brown rice?

My wife always cooks white rice. So we do not have that experience. I guess that cooker should work well with brown rice.

I use this rice cooker to cook a mixture of brown and white rice and it turned out just fine. So I imagine it should do a good job cooking brown rice alone.

I never cooked brown rice, but it cooks white basmati rice very well. So, I assume it should cook other type of rice too.

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!

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, that is one of the types of rice it can cook. If you put it on the "quick cook" setting, the brown rice will cook in less time (about 40-60 mins) and be more chewy. On the regular setting (about 80-120 mins), it will be more soft and fluffy.

Yes it does steam brown rice, there are graduated marks on the inside of removable insert. One side is for brown rice opposite side is for all other rice

I believe it will cook brown rice, usually it will take around 35 minutes. This Rice cooker is the best in the market, I have been using it in my restaurant for a few years.

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 does cook brown rice. The cord is fixed, not retractable or detachable. I hope this helps.....

it is great for quinoa, just treat it like cooking rice. It's that simple. I haven;t tried it with brown rice but I think it should be the same.However, I think you shouldn't leave cooked rice or quinoa in the rice cooker for 24 hours to keep it warm (as claimed by the company). I found it yellow my rice or quinoa. Otherwise, it's all very good.

Yep, I've cooked brown rice in it before, usually has a slightly different method (different amounts of water/time), but it usually says on the bag.

Ive used this for brown rice and sticky rice (separately and together). However, it almost exclusively sees use with brown rice. The directions suggest 2.5 to 3 cups water for every uncooked cup of brown rice, but i find that 2.5 works best. Im not sure what specifically isn't working for you, but ive never had any problems. Maybe if you elaborate Id be better-equipped to offer a suggestion.

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.

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

I got this to replace my 10 year old cooker that lacked a brown rice mode. Yes, both of the special modes (gaba/umami) work as advertised. And if you make rice often enough, its worth the investment. Just be advised that they add to the cook time, so more planning is needed.

Yes. I cook brown rice in it all the time. I even cook steel-cut oats in it.

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.

I have only tried a minimum of two cups of uncooked rice...turned out excellent for both brown and white rice
