1597686
Do you mean to finish with 2 cups cooked rice or to begin with 2 cups raw rice? For 2 cups cooked rice, start with 1 cup raw rice. Be sure the rice is raw, not instant. Also be sure the rice has been rinsed to remove dust and excess starch. Add enough water so that it covers the rice by 1″.Put the lid on. Notice this rice cooker has air vents - this allows the steam to escape during cooking, which is good.Microwave for 9 minutes on high. Let it sit for 3 minutes undisturbed to finish cooking. Then it's done.

Hi Beryl,I have only used the rice cooker only once because I did not have a rice cup to measure with. When I did try to do an "estimate" it did not turn out well. But there should be instructions in the pamphlet that came with the cooker. In general 1 cup of rice with 1-1/2 cup of water. I have ordered from Amazon a rice cup so I will try again soon.

The measuring cup used to measure dry rice has a liquid capacity of 3/4 US cups. I suspect that it produces 1 cup of cooked rice. The instruction book recommends soaking the rice before cooking, 2 hours for brown rice. It also recommends warming the rice for 15 to 30 mins after the cooker switches off. This requires manually switching to warm. You may wish to purchase a cooker with an automatic warming switch. Then the rice will cook and stay warm without further attention from the chef.

The most I have done is 2 cups rice uncooked yielding around 4 cups cooked. You could probably do another cup dry rice and it would hold it. It's not a large cooker, but works perfectly. I love it for small amounts.

8 cups of uncooked rice, cup come with the cooker, about 6 ounces, like most other cookers' cups. I bought the 4 cups and 8 cups, 4 cups for cooking rice, usually we cook 2 cups brown rice or 2 cups white rice with frog legs or chicken, 2 cups rice are good for me and my wife for 2 meals. We used the 8 cups for stew or porridge, we cooked stew before sleep and it cooked and kept warm like a slow cook overnight.

It is usually 1 parts rice to 2 parts water. So for 10 cups of rice you use 5 cups of rice to 10 cups of water. Each back is not exactly this ratio so you adjust to each bag you open; example is adding 9.5 cups if the batch is too soggy.

1 cup rice plus salt -1 and a half cups water, bring rice salt and water to boil, boil till almost half water is gone or about 5 minutes, pop cover on tight, turn down flame low low and cook for 10-15 minutes more till rice is sticking to bottom. Turn off heat leave cover on 10 minutes, rice is ready. Nice fluffy and dry.

I have cooked as few as 4 "cups" (the cup that they give you with the unit) which makes sizable portions for 2 people or regular servings for 3 or 4 people. Honestly, I like to make a minimum of 6 cups and just put the extra into the fridge or freezer for later use. Chilled rice is best for making fried rice and easy to reheat for other uses.

you can easily cook one cup of rice (2 cups water) in this cooker. I love mine, use it for small amounts all the time, you may wish to stir midway through the cook so it does not stick. I love my cooker.

I adjusted the water and time for brown rice and suggest adding an additional cup of water (3 cups instead of 2 cups) and adding 15 minutes to the cook time. This provided me with tender, fluffy brown rice.

The smallest amount that we have cooked is 2 cups of rice. It cooks 2 cups of rice well. I don't know how much rice you eat, but for my wife and I, 2 cups of rice is too much rice for us.

I wouldn't sweat not having the cup just go by the ratio 1 cup rice to 1 cup water, slightly more water for brown rice . I use 3:1 water to steel cut oats, oatmeal or grits. And don't go over the maximum capacity of the cooker. I use whatever cup is handy.

Oh Gosh! I would think you could put in at least 2 cups of dry rice plus vegetables very easily. I am very happy with this rice cooker. I have had it a couple years now and have great success with it. Would certainly purchase again. I normally cook 3 cups of dry rice at a time with room to spare.

We have the 5 cup model and rarely cook more than one cup also. One cup is the minimum for both white and brown rice.

We normally cook 2 cups at a time and it's perfect! Best purchase of last year. Always cooks the rice perfectly no matter the amount being cooked.

3 uncooked becomes 6 cups cooked rice is maximum. We use ours for 6 cups cooked all the time. Tip. Once finished cooking and auto goes to warm, try to put rice out into covers dish not too long after. If sits on warm too long can overcook rice at bottom on cooker.
