Looks like a neuro fuzzy. That thing will make decent rice even if you try to screw it up. Brown rice does take substantially longer to cook properly - your rice maker is likely figuring that out and picking up the slack.

The Zojirushi are pretty damn magic.
That must have been some very al dente rice. When cooked in a pan brown rice needs more than twice the cooking time than white.
It's probably not as good as it possibly could be, but in a automatic rice cooker the timing isn't manually set, it just cooks until all the water is absorbed / boiled off. So, cooking brown rice on the white rice setting would still take way longer and probably be fine.
I have no idea what all those buttons on a microwave are for. I just stick it in the box, and blast it in 30 second increments.
I have no idea what is in that image but it looks nothing like the brown rice I have here in Vietnam.
I just chuck rice in the microwave. Comes out fine tbh
You just chug in the grains? Or inside a bowl water?
I dont see how either would work.
Rice in a big bowl Cover (plus a centimetre or so) with hot water Cook for like ten minutes ish 🍚, yum
More reliable than stovetop (doesn't burn). Dont need to buy extra rice cooking device
This may or may not work depending upon the grain size and processing of your brown rice as well as whether or not the rice cooker has some fuzzy logic built in that might detect it.
They have "soft bran" short-grain brown rice here (the hull is pre-cut, I think?) and it works fine on the white rice setting. My normal brown rice would not cook through, though, probably.
What i dont get is how sushi and white rice is nearly identical.
My machine at home also does this. There is a minor difference in height indication but so narrow you can get the water to the top of one line and the bottom if the other line.
Rice vinegar needs somewhere to fit in the rice
Rice vinegar is only added after the rice is cooked. The indication is to what level water should be added to coock it with.
