If so, what setting? I have one of those rice cookers that recognizes white rice, brown rice, sushi rice and “mixed” (I think that is the last option). I always eat brown rice so that’s the only setting I know.

Here you go:
To prepare in a rice cooker, simply treat quinoa like rice. Add two parts water to one part quinoa, stir, cover (unlike rice you can stir quinoa a few times while cooking to prevent burning in the bottom of the pan) and when the cooker shuts off, the quinoa is done. http://www.quinoa.net/181.html
Update: When directions say “rice” in professional directions 99% of the time it means white rice. So I would cook it as white rice.
