Saw a few peoples asking about the brown rice settings on their Aroma cookers, so I figured I'd toss something out there for people to discuss. According to the forums, people should cook brown rice at a 2:1 ratio of water to rice (1 cup rice to 2 cups water), rinsed, and then cooked on the brown rice button for around 50 minutes (takes longer than white rice to cook because of the outer bran layers). It seems like they put a button for brown rice specifically because brown rice requires more time to cook than white rice does. Most peoples just stick to the 2:1 ratio, but does anyone play with the ratio of water to rice when cooking brown rice? Also, does the brown rice button on these appliances do something different to the rice than the white rice button? For example, does it have a longer soak cycle or is it just a longer timer for the rice to cook?
