Hello David. I'm sorry I can't help because I haven't made regular rice yet. I Can tell you this. I've used to make Rice & Peas and a lot goes in it. 4 cups Rice, cocnut milk, black beans, garlic& onion, seasonings & water. My Meals take about 3-4 hrs to cook & the last 40 minutes I start rice & it's ready at the end. I would guess 15-20 minutes for reg rice. I love this thing & I've had many over the yrs. I recommend highly.

It depends on what you choose, white rice or quick rice. This rice cooker is very smart.

On average about 20- 25 minutes. It also depends on the amount of rice and water you put in the cooker. The more rice the longer, the less amount the less time. I love my cooker. It is awesome. Hope it helps. Good Luck!

1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water. cook for 20 minutes, let sit for 5 minutes, fluff with a fork.

As it only holds about 1.5 cups of rice, it takes roughly 15 minutes. I never measured this with a watch, however, it is my general observation. The beauty is that it is "fire and forget"; once you put water and rice in and but go it does all the rest.

We cook our brown rice this way: 1 cup of water in the hopper, two cups of rice in three cups of water in the bowl. At the end of the cycle it's still just a bit too wet, but we pop a lump of butter in at that point, and leave it in the warming mode for 10-20 minutes while cooking the rest of dinner. When it's time to eat, it's perfect.Before this cooker, we had one of the fancy fuzzy-logic computerized cookers. I think this one does a better job, really.

It varies to some extent. Water temperature, amount of rice, type of rice and altitude can change the exact temperature.If you just drop the rice in with water and start:Quick Cook: 27-39 MinutesSushi: 40-55 MinutesWhite/Mixed: 40-55 MinutesPorridge: 55-65 MinutesBrown Rice: 80-100 MinutesIf you use the timer setting the minimums are:Sushi: 55 MinutesWhite Rice: 55 MinutesPorridge: 65 MinutesBrown Rice: 100 MinutesQuick cook can get the rice done really quickly, but it isn't nearly as good.

I usually cook mine in chicken stock or chicken bouillon. Mixing in vegetables would create awesome variations. It does take 45 min to cook so you have to plan ahead. It is great if you have a dish that you want to bake in the oven or in a crockpot. Just put the rice and water in the pot with your meat and it will come out great.

Perfect rice in 10 minutes. Brown rice 15 minutes on high pressure. There is a rice button that pressure cooks it on high pressure for 6 minutes (got to remember to push the "start" button!).1 cup white rice + 1.5 cups of water = perfect rice.

About 3-4 days depending on what type of rice you use. I usually cook white thai jasmine rice with the waterfall logo or the 3 ladies.

depends on how many bowls of rice you want. more bowls take longer time . Actually, it is in a reasonable time to cook white rice.

I've only cooked rice in my pressure cooker once and I used a 1-2 ratio (rice to water). It took about 8 minutes and I did not add water to the bottom. Just put the rice and water in the removable pot, move the dial to 'pressure' and set timer at 8 minutes...it was perfectly cooked.

I used to give it about 10-15 mins. For the rice to warm up to room temp. But, I rather take the rice out and cover it with some plastic wrap and put it in the microwave. If I use the rice cooker to warm it back up it tends to be dry along the bottom and the sides of the pot.

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

I usually cook brown basmati and I out that on the white rice setting, so depending on how many cups...for us between 30-40 minutes. Sorry I took so long to answer. Good luck.

There is a whole grain button I use to cook brown rice. The rice cooks very well, it just takes a while (~1.5 hrs for 1 cup rice).

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.

If you are making Converted Rice, put in two cups of liquid to one cup of rice. (I use chicken broth.) Program your microwave for 5 minutes on high, 13 minutes on medium, let stand for 5 minutes in the microwave, fluff with a fork, and serve.

It takes 55 minutes, and you can eat rice immediately. 35 minutes or so with the "quick" (less-pressured) mode.
