Rice is a staple food that can accompany almost any dish. You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with meat, fish, veggies, and even other grains. As versatile as rice is, it can be difficult to cook it consistently. A common method of cooking is using a good-quality rice cooker. But it still begs the question, how long does a rice cooker take to cook rice?<\/span><\/p>\n

Rice cookers are one of the most hassle-free ways to prepare rice, even in large batches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes approximately 26 minutes to cook 1 cup of white rice and 60 minutes to cook 1 cup of brown rice. So if you\u2019re wondering how long does it take 2 cups in a rice cooker, it would be around 52 minutes for white and 120 minutes for brown, respectively. Of course, cooking times can fluctuate as you increase or decrease the amount of rice you\u2019re cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Average Rice Cooker Time<\/b> for Different Types of Rice Cookers<\/b><\/h2>\n

The actual time it takes to cook rice depends on the type and brand of the rice cooker you use. While the timing we mentioned above is an approximation, you should still check out the user manual of your cooker to know the exact time it takes to cook one or more cups of rice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
