I am sorry Dennis, I have not used the rice cooker yet. Slow cooker and pressure cooker are tops!

I cook mine 14 min. high pressure. Not the rice cooker. It is a bit moist at first, but let it set a while. 2 to 1 ration.

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 haven't had either issue with this rice cooker. Occasionally some of the bottom rice will brown slightly, but I never get burnt rice the way I used to in my old cooker and the texture is consistently good.

I use the brown rice setting for brown rice and it works wonderfully. I don't know about gaba, haven't tried it yet but I would probably use the gaba setting the first time anyway to see how it turned out. After all, that is what it was designed for. Then, if I wasn't pleased I might try the brown rice setting. This cooker is amazing.

I have never used this to cook brown rice but I do believe that all you need to do is make sure you add enough water. Brown rice needs more water than regular calrose rice that I use. I would give it a try. You might also try this as this is what I do when I can remember. Spray the pot with nonstick spray, wash the rice (rinse rice until the water is somewhat clear), put the rice in the pot and then start it. This will minimize the rice that sticks to the pot. Enjoy!

It will cook that much and just double the amount of water. If you are using brown rice just use al small amount more

I believe it will cook brown rice, usually it will take around 35 minutes. This Rice cooker is the best in the market, I have been using it in my restaurant for a few years.

I also need an answer to this question. I have read recipes for this cooker on an external site that call for 3/4 cup of brown rice. these recipes are for 3 to 4 people.

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

I haven't tried brown rice however they recommend you cook two cups at one time. I've done 1 1/2 and it stuck to the bottom a little bit but it worked.

You can cook rice in the steamer. You need to soak the rice a few hours first. I don't have the exact recipe measurement but you probably need 3 parts water to 1 part rice. Steam for half an hour first. If it is not thoroughly cooked, steamed a little longer. As for brown rice be prepared to double the cooking time. Hope that helps.

Brown rice is always difficult and takes longer to cook. It is always hard and not as tasty as the white rice. I always use beef broth or chicken broth to cook the brown rice. Rinse brown rice first then do ratio 1:1.5 --for every 1 cup of rice, use 1.5 cups of water or broth to cook it. Better yet, soak the brown rice with your broth or water first for at least an hour before you turn on your cooker. Hope this helps.

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

I bought this as a birthday present for my Mom and she cooks only brown rice; she says it does fine!

Hi, you can cook brown rice, but you have to make sure you soak the brown rice for a couple of hours first.

I often make spaghetti and also brown rice. Both require a nice even simmer and I have no problem with this cooktop. We are very pleased with this appliance

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).
