Put 1 cup of quinoa in the pot with 2 c water, and cook. (ie It's a 1 to 2 proportion. So 2 c quinoa needs 4 c water.) It's cook just like rice and turns off automatically

it is great for quinoa, just treat it like cooking rice. It's that simple. I haven;t tried it with brown rice but I think it should be the same.However, I think you shouldn't leave cooked rice or quinoa in the rice cooker for 24 hours to keep it warm (as claimed by the company). I found it yellow my rice or quinoa. Otherwise, it's all very good.

I cook it in my rice cooker all the time. I use the same amount of water as for white rice. I like it a bit chewy. You might add an extra Tablespoon or two of water if you like it softer.

Very nicely if you stick with a ratio of 2 - 3 cups water to 1 cup rice (depending on how firm or soft you like it). We add a little olive oil and salt at a minimum - seems to cook better, and sometimes substitute veg broth for some of the water for flavor.

You can cook quinoa, but is not the same. I tried a couple of times but did not come out as I want it. Besides there is no programm for quinoa. If you cook quinoa like rice in the pot then you should not have big differnce. ( I cook quinoa 30 min dry, and then 30 min with water). I hope I helped

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.

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, 2 to 1 ratio water to quinoa, select your spices, habanero is my favorite, close and hit the rice button just once and walk away. This cooks it the best.

No, the holes are to large for couscous. I wouldn't put rice in it. either. Fresh peas are about the smallest I would use it for

I'm not sure if you are expecting the rice grains to be separate like instant rice but that rice has been parboiled and preprocessed for that result. Rice from the cooker will be a little sticky. I use the pot for rinsing the rice since the black interior helps contrast the milky white of the starchy water. Keep rinsing the rice until the water looks clear. As for following the directions, they are correct for short and medium grain rice. Any other variety will require more water.

My husband cooked quinoa in it and it would take anywhere from 1-3 hours. I think rice would be similar. It was very inconsistent. The plug on ours burned after a few uses and was replaced under warranty. That one only lasted a couple of weeks (being used once or twice a week) and the plug burned up. I wouldn't recommend buying it.
