Does it cook brown rice equally good like the white rice?

Yes, it does. The instructions include information on how to cook brown rice.
1645321
Yes. The quality of the cooked rice is equal, however the cooking time is different.

I haven't noticed that brown rice takes longer to cook...it always comes out nice.
1645323
Yes, but it requires more time and water. The instructions provide pretty accurate time estimates and water measurements.
1645324
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.

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

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 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.

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

yes but you need to soak the rice grains in water for a couple of hours and then make sure you have enough water because brown rice requires a little more water

It really all depends on what you use it for. If only rice, than a regular model would suffice. Now if your making mixed dishes that use meat and poultry, than the pressure cooking option is a must. not to mention, if you love brown rice, but hate the hardness that accompanies brown rice. The Gaba brown rice feature pressurizes the water to 221 degrees Fahrenheit to increase the absorption of water in the rice to make it as soft as white rice. If you use this as a main kitchen appliance, than the cost seems rather inexpensive. but if it's just to make white rice, than cheaper options are available.

I, too, find it difficult to achieve the same results with brown rice that I get with white rice. This last batch of brown rice came closest but still no cigar. It is quite possible that brown rice will never cook to the same fluffyness that white rice cooks to. One thing I did read was to spray the bottom of the cooker with a non stick material (Pam or such) and that helped. Because brown rice needs to cook much longer it is inevitable that some will burn. I'll keep trying and if I can't get the results I'm looking for I'll switch cookers!! And try, try, try.

Of course you can cook brown rice as well as white. The water-rice proportions are a bit different, as is the cooking time (brown takes a bit longer) but yes, you can.

I love this electric rice cooker! It cooks white rice in about 20 minutes. Brown rice takes a little longer. I usually don't mix brown and white rice..

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

Cooks white rice in average time. Brown rice ALWAYS takes longer to cook, but I don't recall that it took as long as 90. I love this cooker. Rice made here is delicious. And so many other meals can be made in this. Find a rice cooker cookbook. Very versatile machine.

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

Yes, at least it did when we bought ours. Works great, perfect rice every time whether white or brown rice.

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