It can pressure cook some other foods. Beans are done well in this machine. Soup is fun to make in a rice cooker. If you are asking if there is a function on the menu for meat, the answer is no. If you are asking if people do it or its possible, the answer is yes. I hope this helps.

I have not made rice in it, however, there is a control panel function for rice. Rice "one touch setting for cooking rice. Defaults to 12 mins. at high pressure." There is also a recipe for "Perfect Asian Rice."

I had not used the rice cooker yet so I tried it last night. I put in 2 cups rice and 3 cups water, hit the rice cook button and machine set itself for six minutes. I let it do it's thing. With the pressure cooker, timer starts once temp is reached. Rice cooker timer never started. In an hour I had 1 big solid hockey rice puck. Not recommended for rice. I love the pressure cooker. The slow cook is not near as good as a crock pot

I must be doing something wrong. My rice in pressure cooker is awful. But then I usually only make brown rice.

I have not tried it on this cooker. But I ever cooked/steamed a small dish/bowl of ground beef in the inner pot with other brand of rice cooker. I believe it is safe to steam the meat, but unsure its steaming effort and how long it will take to cook/steam. Ensure inner pot has water while steaming. Otherwise, it will damage your cooker. Good luck!

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

This steamer works well for steaming a variety of foods such as vegetables and meats. This particular steamer is not designed for cooking rice.

No. This rice cooker is meant for cooking rice. However, you can always add extra water when cooking rice and shut off the rice cooker manually after half and hour. You will get porridge but not a perfect porridge.

We have only used ours to cook rice. I would not try to use it as a pressure cooker for anything other than rice. Have you tried to find an owners manual online for this or a similar rice cooker? That may provide better information on what you can and cant use this for.

The cooker gets up to 300 degrees. Boiling point is only 212. so yes you can cook rice, or warm up canned foods, leftovers etc.

You can steam vegetables while you make rice, by using the vegetable steamer. As for meat...if you mean, "Can I cook meat in the rice", then yes, but consider the size of the meat and the cooking time. I love to do stews and what not in this, using the "slow cook" selection. I also do one pot rice dishes.

Yes! This rice cooker is pressurized up to certain amount time so you can make any rice especially, jasmine rice but if you looking for cook just plain rice I would recommend to purchase plain rice cooker with any brand. This rice cooker is little pricey compare to plain rice cooker but if plans to cook all kinds of rice then I would recommend to purchase this one. I hope this would help to make your decision.

No, just how long typical foods take to cook. It's a wonderful pressure cooker; I use it at least once a week. :-)
