will this rice cooker make sticky rice?

Sorry, I've never tried to make sticky rice. I love the way my brown, white (and even wild) rice comes out though. I think it's a terrific rice cooker.

Yes..the rice cooker makes the rice a bit sticky, and I like it that way. Just add a little more water then recommended, and make the rice a little moister. Hope this helps!

It should work fine. What I did not do was read the instructions prior to using it assuming this was all I needed to make the rice. But in fact you are to get a pot much bigger than this and fill it part way with water than place this inside. I thought this was such a pretty rice cooker I got it. I just tried cooking rice in it on the stove in this pot and it did not turn out very well. You must use the larger pot and put this inside.. We accidentally broke the lid before discovering this so we have not actually used it in in the way it was intended. You will need a very large pan or pot to put this in. It is like it shows, very pretty. It should work fine. What I did not do was read the instructions prior to using it assuming this was all I needed to make the rice.

My Lotus rice cooker makes wonderful brown rice. It also makes incredible steel cut oatmeal. I start it just before I go to bed.

I am also curious about this. I plan on buying this rice cooker regardless of how well it cooks tofu, but if the tofu functions actually works, it'll be even better.

While I like this unit, it is not a true pressure cooker in spite of the name. It is more of a steam cooker, so any recipes for a steam cooker should work just fine. It also makes a fine rice or shell pasta cooker. By adding flavorings and/or other ingredients you can create your own recipes. Just make sure that the added ingredients will cook safely in about the same time as it takes for the rice or pasta to cook.

No, it doesn't have a setting for a particular type of rice, HOWEVER, I've only used it once and I made black rice, which takes the longest of all. When I cook black rice on the stove it takes up to an hour and you must constantly stir or it'll stick to the pan, ugh. I love black rice, but I hate cooking it. The Black & Decker cooker must be a genius because my rice came out PERFECT!!!! All I did was set it and forget it and I was a very happy camper! I think you'll be very pleased!

Yes, u can absolutely make any rice with this rice cooker. If you cook only white rice, just buy a plain rice cooker and it will do.

Yes! It is very easy to make with this rice cooker and it comes out great! There are lines on the inside that show you how much water to put for 0.5 or 1.0 cups of rice for porridge.

My wife does long grain, short (Sticky) grain, Korean Medium grain, Forbidden [Black] rice, Red grain rice, Brown rice, and Lord knows what all. But then she is Korean. It even talks to her in Korean. It is probably the best of the rice cookers available.

I think it is smart to get a new rice cooker. They are not expensive and all the brands are about the same.

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

I think it is perfect, but you may think it is sticky if you like dry rice :)But I think you are right, check this out: http://busycooks.about.com/od/howtocook/a/ricescience.htm

No. It's not designed for that kind of equipment. A rice cooker is going to be a high wattage/high drain item. This smaller unit is designed for such things as laptops, radios, small lights (LED, ideally), etc.

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.

No special setting is required. In order to make sticky rice, all you need to do is add the rice and the water and let it set for a half hour before pushing the cook button. This gives the rice time to soak up the water which leads to sticky rice. The booklet which is included may have additional advice. Good luck and happy sushi making.

This is definitely "sticky rice" but I haven't used it for sushi... I really enjoy the quality of this rice, it cooks proper each time, it has a good taste and is reasonably priced on Amazon. If you eat rice often as I do, I recommend giving this a try!
