Can this reheat already cooked rice?

Yes, and it has a smart chip meaning it won't burn the rice like other rice cookers do when you leave it on warm setting for too long. Hope this helps :0)

Yes, but really and really slow. Microwave is the best way to reheat your rice.

best already cooked rice I've had was scooped into ziploc containers when it's fresh then placed in the freezer. Crack the lid on the container and cook for 3min in a microwave. Good stuff.Great way for single folks to have rice every day.

To reheat, yes. To cook, no. After it reaches a certain temperature, it turns off.

Probably not but it's not really good to keep food out for more than 4 hours anyways. When reheating rice in the microwave you can just flick some water on the rice or use a damp paper towel :)

I didn't cook rice in it as far, but in the grocery I saw that some of the rice possible to cook particular in the steam cooker. Technically you should be able to do so.

Yes by using the stove function. You put your water and rice in, cover it, set the timer and you'll have perfect rice.

yes, you can reheat as well as cook in it. It's not very big, but it's a nice size for an individual serving. A friend of mine said they make a larger version, but i have never seen it.

yes, put rice in after it sits in the water for 8 to 10 hours. Works great.

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

I would say no, but you might get away with a rice dish. It's a clay pot so dry high heat probably isn't good for it, would just stick with soups or a braise.

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

Yes, that is one of the types of rice it can cook. If you put it on the "quick cook" setting, the brown rice will cook in less time (about 40-60 mins) and be more chewy. On the regular setting (about 80-120 mins), it will be more soft and fluffy.

Yes, you can. I have cooked everything from rice to fresh vegetables in mine. I absolutely love mine.

Hi, Alex...the product comes with a little empty bag that they suggest putting uncooked rice in and then heating it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up. I have not tried to heat the rice another way but I would suspect you could carefully sauté it, dry, in a pan until warm but be careful. to to burn it, and then add the rice to the bag.

Hi Millie. I really hate it when people who don't know the answer answer anyway. It's so useless.Anyway - yes, you can cook it in a rice cooker. Thru trial and error I've discovered that pretty much any whole grain can be cooked that way. I have a small rice cooker and figured out that if I stick to 1 cup grains to 2 cups water it's usually fine. Amaranth doesn't have to be rinsed first but make sure you read the package of any other whole grain to see if that one does need to be rinsed.

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.

Worth it? That's up to you. Will it last....had mine 8 years, it is like new! My cuckoo does a great job of keeping warm. Worth a look! This rice cooker does the rice pudding breakfast thing. And that is fabulous. I use two rice cookers. Takes a bit of space but I do rice so often so many ways that I need both. My Zojirushi is a work horse and it is good today as it was some many years ago. To answer your rice warm question....rice is nice for just so long! I like mine right out of the cooker when it is just done. Gosh, you can warm rice in a microwave with a semi sealed container!

Yes you can cook rice in it - drain holes are smaller than rice -don't usually need to drain rice
