Are you positive it cooks brown rice? Does this have a retractable cord or detachable or fixed? Is this an older model?

Yes, I am positive, the owner's manual has instructions for brown rice and my wife has done it. It will take longer than white rice. The cord is fixed and it is the current model. We also have had the older model for 20+ years and it still works.

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

Cooks brown rice beautifully; detachable cord. I'm not sure if it's older, but mine works great - love it!Revision: maybe I have a slightly different model because I swear I unplug mine and tuck it inside for storage, but other respondents beg to differ.

I do not see why it should not cook brown rice. It is a fixed cord. I do not know if it is older but it works great. I love it.

I have read online forums where other folks have said they cook brown rice. And.. my Mom used to cook brown rice in a rice cooker for her macrobiotic diet. So, logically, it would. No retractable or detachable cord. I just wrap the cord around the cooker for storage.

Yes. I only cook brown rice in mine.I cook a cup of brown rice once a week/every week. Cooks it wonderfully. The cooker has held up nicely. Would highly recommend!

I keep the cord coiled up with a twisty as the unit is next to the wall. No retractable cord, not a big deal. Great appliance..

Wish I could help. All I've ever done is cook brown/wild rice. Set it and let it go. Sorry.

It is just a regular rice cooker that cook white rice, brown rice, porridge, warming. It is not a pressure cooker.

The one I bought makes only 5 cups uncooked. You can use the steamer but you have to make less rice in order to make room for the steamer. The steamer cooks really well. Panasonic do make 10 cups uncooked rice cooker.

I'm looking at mine right now, and the switch has 2 positions, 'WARM' and 'COOK'. My own experience agrees with the owners manual, page 8, step 11. "When finished serving rice, unplug the power cord to turn the rice cooker off." Hope that helps.

Yes, it does cook brown rice well. I followed the instructions on the bag of rice, and I think I added a little more water. It came out fine. However, white rice comes out better on top of the stove. I ususally bring 2 cups of water to a boil with salt, then add 1 cup of rice. I cook it on medium low for 14 minutes, then shut off the heat and leave it covered for about 10 minutes. It comes out so fluffy, it falls off your fork. In the rice cooker, I always get a gray gelatinous layer at the bottom of the pot, and it's kind of sticky.

I've done brown rice in it and all you need to do is alittle more water but it came out great. I bought this cooker for my daughter and I still have my original one that I bought 12 yrs. ago..They seem to last forever even using it at least 4 times a week and leaving it plugged in all night.

Worth it? That's up to you. Will it last....had mine 8 years, it is like new!My cuckoo does a great job of keeping warm. Worth a look! This rice cooker does the rice pudding breakfast thing. And that is fabulous. I use two rice cookers. Takes a bit of space but I do rice so often so many ways that I need both. My Zojirushi is a work horse and it is good today as it was some many years ago. To answer your rice warm question....rice is nice for just so long! I like mine right out of the cooker when it is just done. Gosh, you can warm rice in a microwave with a semi sealed container! Worth it? That's up to you.

It should work with both. Just watch out for the right rice-to-water ratio. Usually brown rice requires more water.

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.

No, the cord does not detach and it is a little short. I would like to be able to plug it in and have it sit on my stove top when I have the fan going. In order to do that, I have to use an extension cord. Also, the pot is stainless steel and it does cause rice to stick to the bottom. If you spray the bottom with non stick spray, you should be fine. I do like this rice cooket.

not sure. If it is is is very thin. the bottom has stained a little from the water deposits in the outer pot. It is a good rice maker, I recommend it. E mail Aaron at Tatung to get directions for brown rice; it is different than white rice. enjoy

Yes! I don't have the instructions with me, but it shows in the booklet that it can cook all different types of rice (there's like four, but white and brown are both included)

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.

I use mine to make brown rice. It cooks the bottom of the rice (closest to the heating element) to a chewy consistency when you wait for the device to completely switch off. You can manually turn it off a few minutes early and the rice will turn out fine. I happen to like the chewy consistency and think it's a plus.
