If you threw some raw pasta or rice or noodles into soup in this would it cook after a few hours?

Not so much with the rice. I put some basmati in some soup and a little over three hours, it's still hard.

It works on my Nutrisystem dry pasta lunches. Normat cooking directions for them is add boiling water and let set for 10 minutes. They are perfect in this crock after and hour.

Not sure about the pasta products, but I've tossed fresh broccoli in and it was cooked perfectly by lunch time.

Not for soup. There is an inner container that should be okay for pasta sauce.

I have had mine for a couple years now, I have never ever preheated it. I use it mostly for soup and spaghetti

I have put soup from a can in mine and it works fine. I let it heat up a few hours. Never gets overcooked either.

I think you can have it cook later. I have not used that function yet, so to be honest, not quit sure how that works. Sorry

I just follow the directions. I normally put broth instead of water with rice and it says you can delay the cook time for 15 hrs. I haven't done this but you should be okay but I would be real careful because soaking rice can get mushy. the rest I am not sure I steam veggies in the basket. I use a little olive oil

Yes it will cook brown or white rice. I don't know how long, but I assume it takes about the same time as white rice; depending on how much you are cooking... Usually a full pot takes a little less than an hour...

Did you use the stainless pot? I have never tried making soup with it - just rice and steam (buns, left overs, eggs, meat etc). I don't think it would be good to make soup because soups usually take hours and the water outside the stainless inner pot will dry out before the soup is ready. You can make congee with it but soup is probably better with regular pot or a croakpot. Hope that helps.

well, I think your food will over cooked. I don't know what will happen longer then 3 hrs , I have never try it.

Yes, but because induction heating works faster than gas or electric, you might need to experiment with shorter cooking times for pasta.

It depends on the rice. White is the shortest maybe 20 + min. Brown rice will take longer. How this inexpensive little rice cooker knows. is a mystery.

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.

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.

No reason at all that I can see. I've heated water, milk and broth. I've also heated light soups like chicken and noodles. I do recommend if you're making something other than water that you wash it or at least rinse it as soon as you've finished heating. As for the heating time noted by flipspiceland, I haven't noticed that. Perhaps they don't have the temperature turned all the way up. Since I'm mostly boiling and using that's where I keep it and it never takes more than a couple minutes to boil. Of course the more liquid the longer it will take, but even with 4 cups of water it probably took less than 6 minutes. No reason at all that I can see. I've heated water, milk and broth.

I did use it for a stew once. I had it in low temperature for at least 3 hours and it worked.

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