How much water for brown rice, my rice cooker is in Japanese

Sorry not sure about the cooking time but I am sure google would have the answer.
Brown rice needs more water than white rice. Using 2 cups of brown rice in a rice cooker, fill with water to the 3 cup mark.

Add a little more water to brown rice than you would white. Rice cookers do not make a very good job of cooking brown rice and it often sticks to the base. Better to use only white rice in cookers

http://www.wikihow.com/Cook-Rice-in-a-Rice-Cooker This website has detailed instruction on using a rice cooker.

To cook rice, fill center basin of base with water. Place the rice bowl on basin. Add rice and water as follows. For white rice add water in a 1:1 ratio to rice plus 1/2 cup. For brown rice add water in a 1:1 ratio to rice plus 3/4 cup. Examples: 1 cup white rice, 1-1/2 cup water; 2 cups brown rice, 2-3/4 cups water. Put lid on and plug in and in about 50 minutes you should have delicious rice.

Hi,

For Jasmine rice, we use 1.5 C dry unwashed rice to 2.5C cold water.

For Japanese short grain sushi rice which needs washing, we use 2C dry rice, wash and drain it, than add 2.5 C cold water and let soak for 10 minutes, than cook.

For brown rice, we use a 2:1 ratio, water to rice, with 20 minutes soak time.

Hope this helps.

I tried it once and it wasn't easy. It appears that the automatic rice makers are calibrated for whit rice. Anyway, I had to add about twice as much water as white rice takes and restarted the cooker once or twice until it was done. It was a failure and I never attempted to cook brown rice in it again.
There may be rice cookers that have a setting and instructions for brown rice, but I've never seen one.
Good luck.

1 cup rice to 1 1/2 water

The Japanese measuring cup size of 200 ml works fine for my Hitachi RD-5083 and likely will work for most rice cookers. The standard US cup is 237 ml.

yup! there is a different ratio for brown rice.

1 cup brown rice = 2 cups water

hope this helps

hi!

that may be a hard thing to do since you have a japanese manual.\

you can always use the 1:1 ratio for cooking rice though.

1 cup white rice = 1 cup water.

1 cup brown rice = 2 cups water


hope this helps!
