Nikhil, did you read my review about this product? I used 3 times and no longer works. No sign. Neither light. Nothing! It was the worst purchase I've made in my entire life. This cook is super crap. Do not spend your money on it. You may have read how other people are also complaining about the same thing.

Yep, I've cooked brown rice in it before, usually has a slightly different method (different amounts of water/time), but it usually says on the bag.

I use it to grind flax seeds, and it works great, so since they are generally smaller then rice, I would think it would work just fine for brown rice.

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.

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).

Yes. I've only made brown rice, though. I'm sure if you google "pressure cooker + rice" you'll find a lot of info about how to do it. For brown rice, I heat the pot on high, add a cup of brown rice and stir until it's hot, add a tablespoon or so of olive oil and a couple of pinches of salt and stir and then add 1 1/2 cups of water. Cover the pot and lock the lid and put the valve on top. When the valve starts rocking, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for 17 minutes with the valve rocking gently. If it stops rocking, turn up the heat a little. If it rocks too hard, turn it down a little. After 17 minutes, take the pot off the heat and let it cool down by itself until you can take the valve off without releasing any pressure. Take the lid off and fluff the rice with a fork. You'll have to experiment with the exact heat setting and the time. It could be anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes and you may need to have the heat a little higher or a little lower... Hope this helps.

I use this rice cooker to cook a mixture of brown and white rice and it turned out just fine. So I imagine it should do a good job cooking brown rice alone.

Brown rice cooks really well. And you measure it the same as white rice which makes it very easy. The smallest amount you can do is 2 cups.

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.

Kathy, I have not made brown rice in the steamer, but I can tell you that I love the steamer and use it for all my vegetables. No directions are included with the steamer, so I would suggest that you follow the usual directions for cooking brown rice. I hope this helps.

This Tiger rice cooker is for making Mochi. If you cook brown rice the water amount will be different. You can steam regular rice but you would add more water. Pounding is for making Mochi.

If you find out where this rice cooker is from please let us know. As for brown rice, I usually put more water (ex. 2cups rice, 4 1/2cups water) it turns out fine.

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

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.

Yes, brown rice requires more water and takes longer. It works but you have to check it to see if it needs more water, also letting it sit longer while the cooker is plugged in helps it just gently steam and absorb water. I sometimes forget to unplug the cooker, even if it is done cooking (light is off), as long as it's plugged in the machine is warming.

We recently cook brown rice a lot, because my wife demands eating brown rice. To be honest, I do not know how brown rice shall be cooked. I ate white rice when I grew up. I can tell how that taste like among other cooking methods. The brown rice has more moisture than the regular cheap rice cooker, which tends to cook brown rice a bit dry. However, it is a not as good as the brown rice cooked at Chipotle for my taste. My wife said she is happy with the result when I asked her, but we are all asian and just started eating 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.

Just like cooking regular rice,but the rice you are cooking is brown rice that all.
