Which Rice Cooker Cooks Brown Rice In 20 Mins? Or 30 Mins? Any Longer And It’s Too Long! Many Thanks!?

I already have a rice cooker that takes about 90 mins or more(!) to cook brown rice! I’m used to my other cooker that cooks white rice in 7 mins but it doesn’t cook brown rice. I know about proportions of water to rice but that differs with different cookers. I don’t mind investing in a good rice cooker that cooks both white and brown rice in a SHORT time. Anything longer than 20 minutes (for approx 2 cups of rice) is really too long! If anyone can provide the Brand and model #, that would be very much appreciated. Even diff models from same brands perform differently so if you have one that cooks brown rice FAST, please let me know. Thank you!

Sorry, but brown rice takes longer to cook because it has the bran coating on it, and white rice does not have a bran coating. Brown rice takes an average of 45 minutes to cook and white rice (regular, not parboiled) takes around 20 minutes.http://rice.cooksillustrated.com/recipes…
There is no “rice cooker” I’ve ever heard of that will speed that up. A pressure cooker could work though, in speeding up the brown rice tenderizing through cooking (or you might find a rice cooker that has a pressure seal and cooks under heat and pressure). Those who have done it that way claim it’s done in 30 minutes or so.http://www.chowhound.com/topics/366044 <– find ‘pressure cooker’
And here’s a page that will help you cook rice in so many ways, including a pressure cooker method:http://missvickie.com/howto/grains/rice-…
