Manual say 2-2.3 cups of water per 1 cup of rice but rice directions often say 2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice. What is your experience for white?

I like my white rice a bit in the softer side so I always do double the water, but if you prefer your rice a little firmer then go with what they say. I also pre soak my rice for 20 min before turning the cooker ON (like they suggest on the instructions) so you may or may not want to do that step. Sorry for the late reply (I'm in Alaska, limited wifi)

Stan-We have been making white (short grain) rice for over 40 years with a rice cooker and our formula is to add an extra 1/2 cup of water for whatever cup(s) of rice you use. So for 1 cup of rice use 1-1/2 cups of water. For 1-1/2 cups of rice use two cups of water. This rice will be quite moist. If you use more water it will still cook OK but will be quite wet at first until it dries out on your plate.Hope this helps.

Absolutely NOT.To me 1.5 of water to 1 of rice is good. I would NEVER go over 1.75 to 1 for any USA-sold rice.

I don't have the manual anymore but I recall them talking about the more water the softer (longer cook) and the lesser end is kind of al dente. I found by trying both 2:1 and 2.3:1 it makes good rice on either end of the range. I would suggest one day you make 2:1 and another day you make 2.3:1 and see what you like best, then you can vary it to your liking.

If you cook plain rice then 1cup rice add 2 cups of water. If you add any fresh vegetables (carrots,beans etc) then add littlebit more like 1/2 cup for veg. to cook. Also don't cook on high as the water absorbs very fast and not enough water for rice to cook.

Follow the directions in the manual. It's different for this little rice cooker...

I prefer rice to water=1:2, cause I like softer rice. Less water harder rice. I rinse the rice first.

If you wash the rice before cooking, that amount of water will be fine otherwise 2 cups of water will do. It all depends how you want the rice to be mushy or dry.

I used 1.5 cup of water per cup of brown rice (depending on rice) and it worked great. It does take a lot longer to cook.

Two cups of rice is what is recommended as the minimum. Like the others I prefer to cook up more for use during the week, saves a lot of time.

I use the heights to measure. Water height (from the surface of rice to the surface of water) is about the same as the height of rice. It depends on how you like the rice, you may decrease or increase the water, but it must be very slight. I usually make the water height slightly less than the rice height. You need to try several times to make it right to you. Out side water is not critical, you may use a coffee mug with about half inch height water. Hope this help. Good luck.

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.

Which means that the maximum of dry rice is 3 cups, which will yield 6 cups cooked.By the way, the instructions are not all that important. I used 3 cups of brown and filled up the bowl with water to the #3. But after 45 minutes, the rice was soupy. So I cooked it an additional 8 minutes. The rice was perfect. Any moderately skilled cook will easily make such adjustments.Next time, less water. Less rice, too, with spinach and a dab of butter added near the end. The possibilities are endless...

Probably one cup and it will probably not boil and bubble to the top. My minimum has been two cups - never have cooked only one cup in any rice cooker.

In the owners manual it says "you should use a measuring cup to determine the amount of rice to be cooked. The measuring cup we are referring to is the one that is supplied with the rice cooker. The cup that is supplied is about 2/3 the size of a standard US measuring cup." The rice cooker will cook 8 of these cups of rice - which I measured out to equal approximately 5 and 2/3 standard US measuring cups of rice. The manual also recommends cooking rice with the steamer in place even if you are not steaming anything to help prevent the possibility of boil over - from my experience, this is a very good idea.

To cook rice, you simply add water to uncook rice. You can look into the inner surface wall of the pot to find out how much water you need. For example, if you want to cook 2 cups of rice, put uncook rice in the pot and add water to the 2 cup level marked on the wall of the pot.

According to the instruction booklet, you may cook a maximum of 4 raw cups of rice yielding 8 finished cups. I have never cooked more than 2 raw cups because I'm only cooking for one. It has worked perfectly for me.

It's still a two-to-one ratio. The package actually says to use less water, but I find that the rice comes out too tough/undercooked if I don't use a two-to-one ratio. So, basically, cook it the same way you would cook white rice.

The provided instructions state this can cook up to 3 3/4 white rice yielding 8 cups cooked. Hope that helps. I've used mine several times a week since getting it and love it!

For instance, 3 cups (accompanied with the cooker) of rice need water level 3 on the back of the cooker. You will find the number printed on the back of the rice cooker. Therefore, the number of cups of rice will have the same level of water in the cooker. Hope my explanation help you well.

1 cup of rice add 1 3/4 cups of water makes 4 servings which is about 2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked rice. For extra flavor, I add a little chicken or vegetable bouillon. This rice is delicious hot or cold.
