How long does it actually take to cook brown rice, once you push the start button?

About an hour and 15 min. But it's totally worth it. It's moist but not mushy. And it holds up to reheating extremely well.

Not that long, around 30 - 40 minites. Time isn't an issue because you can make it ahead of time and leave it on warm for days and use it over several days. Stays just as fresh as when first done. Love this rice maker!

Brown Rice will take 1'25" to 1'35". Gaba Brown will take 3'10" to 3'15". Germinated Brown is 50 minutes to 1 hour.

The rice cooker I got was defective, the rice was uncooked. Anyway, to cook brown rice, you can either soak it for a few hours beforehand, or add more water, so the rice won't be too dry or hard. Hope it answer your question.

The instructions state 2 cups of dry white rice (meaning 4 cooked cups) take 30-35 minutes and brown rice takes 100-105 minutes. We cook brown rice more often and it only takes about 75 minutes, but the white rice is fairly accurate.

The brown rice to water ratio is 1C rice to 1.5C water. You can use slightly less (dryer rice) or more (moister rice) water, but not significantly more or less. Once any amount of brown rice reaches pressure, it generally takes 20 minutes. White rice cooks a lot faster!

I usually cook brown basmati and I out that on the white rice setting, so depending on how many cups...for us between 30-40 minutes. Sorry I took so long to answer. Good luck.

It takes 55 minutes, and you can eat rice immediately. 35 minutes or so with the "quick" (less-pressured) mode.

Takes about 30-40 minutes regardless of number of cups, which is much longer than my previous Tiger cooker (which was also simpler rice cooker, about 15 minutes).

There is a white rice button and a brown rice button... both timed perfectly. Just hit the button and when done, it automatically switches to Keep Warm. I love it!

I make brown rice often in this steamer. One cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups water. I do not soak the rice beforehand. I use the other two tiers to steam baby carrots, usually, and set the whole thing for about 50 minutes to an hour. It all turns out perfect.

I had not used the rice cooker yet so I tried it last night. I put in 2 cups rice and 3 cups water, hit the rice cook button and machine set itself for six minutes. I let it do it's thing. With the pressure cooker, timer starts once temp is reached. Rice cooker timer never started. In an hour I had 1 big solid hockey rice puck. Not recommended for rice. I love the pressure cooker. The slow cook is not near as good as a crock pot

I believe it will cook brown rice, usually it will take around 35 minutes. This Rice cooker is the best in the market, I have been using it in my restaurant for a few years.

Takes 20 mins for one and 25 mins for two so I would imagine 30 mins (not sure though). I love this product, takes all the effort out of cooking rice and is so easy the kids can do it on their own!

It's not exactly a timer as in one you set but the cooker knows when the rice is done and turns itself off. I think it knows by how much water is in it because if you do brown rice you need to use more water and it cooks longer.

It takes about 45 minutes when we cook 7 cup (uncooked) medium-grain brown rice.

The jumping of the switch does NOT mean that the rice is done-- one Tatung cup of water in the outer container will boil for about 15-20 minutes before it jumps, and then you'll want to leave it under "Keep Warm" for another 15-20 minutes, to let the steam slowly and thoroughly cook the rice inside out. Rice made this way turns out soft and noist, instead of getting dry and burnt on the bottom, as it often happens to other types of rice cookers.

No it doesn't take longer than other brands. Brown rice has a soak time built in. It is an automatic system that shuts off when rice is done. White rice is 30-35 minutes. Brown rice is 90-95 minutes for 2 cups uncooked rice. Larger amounts take longer.

There are 2 modes for white rice. If you select quick mode, it takes 15~17 minutes to cook.I usually select quick mode when only white rice. If mixed with brown rice, I select normal mode.
