I don't have numbers for brown rice, but when I cook 1c of dry white rice I see
The IP also requires less water. Both the energy and water consumption are important in my case because I live in a campervan offgrid.
Guessing no meaningful difference, but I'm curious how the IP would compare to a regular pressure cooker on an induction pad.
Pressure cookers seem pretty efficient and fairly versatile.
Just checked my rice cooker, it's max 350w
Brown rice takes about 40 minutes in it, so yes I'd assume that's drastically cheaper to run than an inefficient hob ring
We like brown rice baked in an ovenproof dish with a cover.
In a typical 1200 w toaster oven toaster oven, that would be 1200 w. We have a rice cooker but tend to only use it for large amounts.
I can cook wild rice in my ninja foodie (a pressure cooker) in 10 minutes. I do white rice in 5. I think it uses 1500 watts but it is all computer controlled so it stops heating as soon as it reaches temperature.
Microwaves are 900W on high, microwave cooking rice doesn't take too long.
