does this cook rice?

The directions that come with it shows cooking time for rice but I haven't tried that yet. I absolutely love it for cooking pasta so I wouldn't be surprised if it also cooks rice well.

Yes, I use it to cook rice more often than pasta. They provide instructions on their Web site for cooking all sorts of foods. I have cooked both white and brown short grain rice using their directions and it works beautifully. 1 cup short grain white rice + water fill level II + 17 minutes cooking. 1 cup short grain brown rice + water fill level III + 28 minutes cooking. They also provide instructions for medium and long grain rice.

The included instructions only gives directions for cooking pasta. It does this beautifuly. There are many recipes for cooking rice in a microwave, google, takes about 30 minutes.

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 think this pressure cooker is not so good for cooking rice. She is very good but for cooking meats, vegetables, beans.

I am sorry. I don't like rice. I never cook it. As with everything else I would just follow directions.

I HIGHLY recommend a rice cooker for rice. I've not used this particular appliance, but own a rice cooker and it is so much easier, better, and more consistent than cooking it on the stove. Set it and forget it!

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.

As the previous reply said, for rice it gives a countdown once it's about 10 mins from the finish. But it's very consistent in regard to the time, so once you use it you'll know how long the rice will take. If you're talking about other food, like for steaming vegetables, then the answer is yes, since you tell it how many minutes you want it to cook. Excellent machine.

I never cooked brown rice, but it cooks white basmati rice very well. So, I assume it should cook other type of rice too.

Absolutely. You can steam the rice or you can slow cook but I prefer the steamed one. You can also use the regular cook option to cook it.

About cooking rice - I would assume so but have not tried it. The cooking insert is very large so you would need to cook a lot of rice and probably use the regular heat - not the slow cooking setting.

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.
