Though we have not tried it, you can definitely make any kind of rice in a rice cooker (brown, parboiled, etc). The only difference will be the amount of water you add. Brown and parboiled rice will probably take a little more water than plain white rice. The thin brown film of burnt rice is a result of leaving the rice in the cooker after its finished cooking (on the “Keep Warm” setting). To avoid this, just unplug or completely turn off the rice cooker once it has finished cooking.

I had a few questions about how a rice cooker should be used -:

1. Does it work for basmati rice only or can it be used for par boiled rice, brown rice and red rice as well?

2. I get a thin brown film of burnt rice at the bottom of the inner container. I have no idea why this happens.

Would really appreciate it if you could help me out on this one.

thanks a lot!

I’ll definetely be recommending you to my friends.
