Hi, does this work both for white and brown rice? Thanks, Fernanda

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)

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

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

Yes it does many different types of rice. Mine only lasted 3 months though. Might want to upgrade.

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.

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

Yes, this one can make brown rice. It takes more water than white rice and double the cooking time but it comes out nicely.

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!

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 had cooked brown and red rice and also quinoa.There is no difference between the regular one and this one. It is rice cooker

no. if brown rice takes longer than white rice then add a little more water. Ratio of rice to water determine the cooking time.

I just add a little extra water for brown rice. I can't remember for sure if I got that from the instructions, but I think so.

Yes! This rice is not complicated. If you can cook white or brown rice you will not be let down by this rice.

I don't see why not, though it probably works best with multigrain or brown rice, since it needs to simmer longer than white rice

I got this to replace my 10 year old cooker that lacked a brown rice mode. Yes, both of the special modes (gaba/umami) work as advertised. And if you make rice often enough, its worth the investment. Just be advised that they add to the cook time, so more planning is needed.

Yes it does. In the little instruction booklet that comes with the cooker, they advise adding a bit more water with brown rice. I only use brown rice and it works wonderfully.

Yes you can. Brown rice 2 cups/3.5 cups water/ 2tblspns butter(optional) for 25 min. White rice is the same except for cook time is 10min. These times are intended for Long Grain Rice and it is notrecommended for instant rice in this cooker. There are recipes that include rice, like Black Beans and rice or Red Beans and Rice, both are good. When cooking rice you have to select the Manual Cook button. I have not tried other Grains myself, so I can not comment on that. Hope any of this helps.

Have not cooked brown rice in it. Any rice cooker will cook brown you just have to add extra water. Makes fluffy white rice.

I have cooked brown rice in my cooker. You have to use a lot more water than with white rice. Use an additional unit of water with brown rice.

Hi, This cooker can cook quinoa and brown rice. You will have to experiment with small batches first to get the water/grain/pasta ratio just right. For brown rice, you may have to pre-sale the rice for a couple of hours prior to cooking. Please consult the food package for cooking instructions.
