This is the best steamer I have ever used. I steam every thing and anything to perfection and it is just the right size. So easy to clean also. Just follow the instructions and guide. Love it.

You can cook almost anything in the steamer. You may have to experiment with the timing...

Yes...but it's not the most helpful (contradicts itself). Basic instructions are 1 part rice to 2 parts water - brown and wild rices need a bit more water...sometimes I add a bit more when it's done cooking and let it stay on warm for a bit. I'm sure you can find a manual online...try here http://www.fixya.com/support/browse/rice_cookers_and_steamers or maxi-matic.com

We have never had problems with cooking white vs brown rice... we even cook yellow rice in our cooker. No matter what type of rice we cook in our rice cooker, it cooks it perfectly each time.

Yes, I think most rice cookers can cook both brown and white rice. My wife is Japanese, so she cooks a lot of rice. Brown rice takes longer to cook, and a bit more water. She likes to soak the brown rice overnight before cooking. These cookers have some kind of sensor inside to tell them when the rice is cooked. Perhaps the sensor shuts off when all the water is evaporated.

So far, I've only used the Breville Risotto/Rice cooker to make risottos and cook rice. I'm assuming, since there is a recipe book for other items, that you can cook those, too. It seems that this appliance will do anything any slow cooker will do, and I plan to try slow cooker recipes in it in the future.

Hi Fernanda, yes it sure does. I only cook brown rice :) It works for quinoa, wheatberries, couscous, lentils, etc! To Health! :)

Yes, this rice cooker does a good job on brown rice, but you might want to let the rice soak for a little while before you cook it. I usually use a mix of brown and white rice (without soaking) and it cooks them together very well. [just less than half brown rice]

I not only own the Aroma 3qt. 4-20 cups rice cooker, but I also happen to be a sushi chef. Yes it can cook sushi rice, pretty much every rice cooker can cook sushi rice. It's the same cooking process as regular rice, you just have to watch your water to rice ratio, so don't go by the lines on the cooker. The way I was taught is after you wash your rice, you put your fingers flat on the rice and fill the water up to your knuckles. It can be tricky until you find the right level.

we've been cooking all kinds of combinations of brown rice, quinoa, millet, etc. works great! you may have to adjust water amounts, but beyond that, nothing special required.

It does but keep in mind brown rice requires more water. For example if you cook 2 cups of white rice, you will do it in 2 cups of water. To cook 2 cups of brown rice, you will do it using 3 cups of water. I hope this helps.

Beautiful: The DE103 has separate setting for Brown and sticky rice. I've had this rice cooker for about a year and I can't say anything bad, It's a wonderful rice cooker.

This one doesn't have quite all of the "bells and whistles" that the ARC-2000SB has. More buttons - more settings for a different mix of what you can do with it. The rice will cook the same, basically just greater capability for cooking other foods.

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.

Yes. I got it for $16.99. Really good deal....just burnt half of the rice and take forever to cook...i am chinese and I use rice cooker everyday. I do not recommend this...unless you only want it as decoration

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.

The Rice Cooker is made to cook no matter what kind of rice you use. It doesn't have a setting for a specific rice. You just have to read the instructions on how much water you use on the packaging label of the rice itself because some use more water than the other brand of rice.

You can manually set the timer for other recipes. I personally have only made beans and rice using the manual settings. But I see no reason why it would not work for other items.
