Yeah I know ..very easy..Wash rice and fill adequate amount of water for the corresponding amount of rice,say 1 cup of rice needs 2 cups of water or so.Wait for the whistle(usually 1 or 2 whistles is needed.It depends on type of rice).Let the cooker gets cool down its own or place it below running water.Remove the whistler first and then the lid,filter excess water if any..If the rice is not done boil rice for another whistle..It all takes only 10-15mins..Enjoy rice!!

I use a nice panasonic rice cooker and it is recommended , but the Koda farms website has instructions for stove top cooking.

There is enough room to cook that amount of rice, but I don't know the cooking time it would take

Yes, it does cook brown rice well. I followed the instructions on the bag of rice, and I think I added a little more water. It came out fine. However, white rice comes out better on top of the stove. I ususally bring 2 cups of water to a boil with salt, then add 1 cup of rice. I cook it on medium low for 14 minutes, then shut off the heat and leave it covered for about 10 minutes. It comes out so fluffy, it falls off your fork. In the rice cooker, I always get a gray gelatinous layer at the bottom of the pot, and it's kind of sticky.

I usually cook mine in chicken stock or chicken bouillon. Mixing in vegetables would create awesome variations. It does take 45 min to cook so you have to plan ahead. It is great if you have a dish that you want to bake in the oven or in a crockpot. Just put the rice and water in the pot with your meat and it will come out great.

I just sent it on 30 min (timed cook). I will try it with the white rice setting.

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.

Pour 1 cup of rice in to the basket. Rinse rice with cold water.Pour the rice into the bottom of the cooker.Add 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 tsp. salt.Secure lid and lock clamps. Open vents.Microwave at 50% for 10 to 12 min. (white rice) or 18 to 20 min. (brown).Remove from Microwave, close vent and let it stand for 5 min. (The steam continues to cook the rice.)

I would agree that the holes may be too large to steam most varieties of rice inside this basket, although you could certainly try a small amount and see what happened and you could also line the basket with muslin or cheesecloth. And BTW you can wash and reuse muslin. I steam rice in the oven inside a regular pot without a basket, by putting about half the water as you would on the top of the stove, so the standard 1 cup rice to 2 cups water, would be 1 cup rice to approx 1 cup to 1.25 cups of water. Put in the oven (in an oven proof pot with an oven proof handle) at 350F/180C for 30 to 45 min for white rice and 1.25 hours +/- for brown or other colored rices, including wild rice.

Yes, I have cooked rice in it. I believe the book it comes with gives you the rice/water ratio. I love cooking risotto in it also.

Wish I could help. All I've ever done is cook brown/wild rice. Set it and let it go. Sorry.

I may be able to find mine and make a copy, but have not used the directions for over a year. The unit comes with a measuring cup... and marking on the side for water...don't use either. Basically, I just follow the rice directions on the side of a package...select white (ok, I don't really eat white rice) or brown, add a tiny bit of oil to prevent boil over, and turn it on (being careful not to put too much in). It does the rest. I happen to like my rice a tiny bit moister, so usually put a small amount more water than suggested (as in under 1/8 cup for a 5 cup batch). It gets really hot, and then begins lowering the amount of heat until it reaches the end of the timed cycle...showing 1 minute remaining....it then continous to heat, until it measure the rise in temp from running out free water and turns off...pretty simple actually Cycles can take much longer than it initially shows, depending on the rice.

I only tried the rice cooker; I did not try any of the other components. I was so dissatisfied with it and with the confusing directions that I want to return the appliance but I don't know where to do so.

in order to make rice in this product place rice in water as you would its the cooking time, and you must cook it at a 30 sec in other words slowly always stirring the rice until done.

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.
