Why does this rice cooker take over 2 hours to cook brown rice when I can make it just as good on the stovetop in 45 minutes? I thought a rice cooker was supposed to make cooking rice fast and efficient.

When I found the small, high end Zojirushi rice cooker took more than twice as long to cook brown rice as a pot of boiling water on the stove top did, I returned it. Also sold on Amazon, the equivalent Korean brand Cuckoo cooks excellent brown rice in 45 minutes. I’ve used the 3 cup Cuckoo to cook every kind of grain from Amaranth to Teff, also lentils, split peas, and mixtures.

how much larger, or smaller, is the "zoji cup" in comparison to a regular 1 cup measuring cup?

I dont know the volum of the regular 1cup measuring cup. I think it will be smaller than regular. I use the 2 ZOJI cups of white rice , the steam rice cooked will be 2/3 of the cooker ,I could eat it for 3 meals for myself( Chinese man) .If you are couple ,the 2 ZOJI cup should enough for tonight dinner and the lunch of the next day.I wish it will be helpful.

Can you use vegetable broth instead of water?

Yes. It does a good job with broths. We recently cooked basmati with chick stock and finely diced onion and it did a great job.

Made in China. I've had this for about 4 months and so far no problems. It cooks the rice well but takes much longer to cook than my old Toshiba rice cooker.
