I made brown rice and it worked OK. It seemed some of the rice wasn't quite cooked all the way through but it was mostly acceptable. One thing that would be nice to know BEFORE purchasing is that 6 cups is not 6 8-oz cups. Apparently, a rice cup measure is 6 oz (3/4 cup), not 8 oz. (sort of like a coffee pot doesn't use 8-oz as a cup). This size is fine for myself, but you'll want to keep this in mind when purchasing ANY rice cooker. So, this 6-cup rice cooker actually makes 4.5 cups of rice.
