Hi
I know red rice is cooked similar to brown rice, both as to rice cooker setting and water even though it’s not the same grain (I have read!) … can I cook red rice on the GABA setting, or should I stick to the ordinary brown rice setting? In other words, can you ‘GABA’ cook red rice??
Thanks

  Hi Anne, you can cook red rice on the GABA setting. Use the same water levels for brown rice and see how it turns out. If it’s too soft, then next time just reduce the water a little.

I have two questions about GABA:
1. Can you pre-sear the rice (say with some oil and onions) before you put in the pot to cook or will that kill whatever life is in the rice and hence it will not germinate? I was wondering about it while making brown rice with onion, garlic, mushroom and thyme.
2. How long does the Gaba program last?
Thank you!

  Hi, pre-searing raw rice changes how it absorbs water, so we wouldn’t advise you do this if you want to use the GABA setting. The GABA setting on Bamboo is 2.5 hours.
