can you make brown rice in it or just white rice

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.

You can make any kind of rice with a rice cooker. I cook brown rice in mine all the time. As long as you put in the right amount of water, the rice will turn out fine.

There is a whole grain button I use to cook brown rice. The rice cooks very well, it just takes a while (~1.5 hrs for 1 cup rice).

I have not tried brown rice but I think the times are longer than nessary. Progressive's web site is not at all helpeful so experminenting will be your best guide. Sorry.

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

Yes I cook rice in it all the time and it works great. As a matter of fact that is the only thing I've cooked in it so far.

never made rice in it, but have made oatmeal in it. so I would think if you can make one you could make the other.

Yes. I've only made brown rice, though. I'm sure if you google "pressure cooker + rice" you'll find a lot of info about how to do it. For brown rice, I heat the pot on high, add a cup of brown rice and stir until it's hot, add a tablespoon or so of olive oil and a couple of pinches of salt and stir and then add 1 1/2 cups of water. Cover the pot and lock the lid and put the valve on top. When the valve starts rocking, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for 17 minutes with the valve rocking gently. If it stops rocking, turn up the heat a little. If it rocks too hard, turn it down a little. After 17 minutes, take the pot off the heat and let it cool down by itself until you can take the valve off without releasing any pressure. Take the lid off and fluff the rice with a fork. You'll have to experiment with the exact heat setting and the time. It could be anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes and you may need to have the heat a little higher or a little lower... Hope this helps.

It does but keep in mind brown rice requires more water. For example if you cook 2 cups of white rice, you will do it in 2 cups of water. To cook 2 cups of brown rice, you will do it using 3 cups of water. I hope this helps.

It does cook brown rice. The cord is fixed, not retractable or detachable. I hope this helps.....

For this question, I cannot answer, because on it only two settings can be found: cook and keep warm. Also I just cook white rice, I just like white rice. So I do not know how long it will take to cook brown rice. Sorry!

Brown rice cooks really well. And you measure it the same as white rice which makes it very easy. The smallest amount you can do is 2 cups.

I just pour the rice and water together into one of the metal bowls. The rice usually takes longer than the other foods so I start the rice first. I make brown rice with this cooker often. I don't soak the rice first, I am really impatient when it comes to cooking.

Yes, this rice cooker does a good job on brown rice, but you might want to let the rice soak for a little while before you cook it. I usually use a mix of brown and white rice (without soaking) and it cooks them together very well. [just less than half brown rice]

I used 1.5 cup of water per cup of brown rice (depending on rice) and it worked great. It does take a lot longer to cook.

Johnny - you might want to experiment with a little more water than regular white rice. I cook brown rice in my Aroma rice cooker daily.

Yes, this one can make brown rice. It takes more water than white rice and double the cooking time but it comes out nicely.

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.
