How long does it take to cook 3 cup (uncooked) rice?

About a half hour. I like to let the hot rice rest a while in the cooker after mixing it around a bit. It makes the rice less sticky.

I cooked 2 full cups and it took exactly 23 minutes. I don't think for 3 cups it would be much difference.

Hi Carmen, I'm not sure about 1 cup. I have a large family so I always cook a larger quantity and like having leftovers for lunch the next day. The more you cook the longer it takes. I see someone else says 20 minutes for 1 cup. I would guess that would be correct. We put the rice on first and then begin the rest of the meal. Bon appetite!!

I've only cooked rice in my pressure cooker once and I used a 1-2 ratio (rice to water). It took about 8 minutes and I did not add water to the bottom. Just put the rice and water in the removable pot, move the dial to 'pressure' and set timer at 8 minutes...it was perfectly cooked.

The instructions state 2 cups of dry white rice (meaning 4 cooked cups) take 30-35 minutes and brown rice takes 100-105 minutes. We cook brown rice more often and it only takes about 75 minutes, but the white rice is fairly accurate.

For this question, I cannot answer, because on it only two settings can be found: cook and keep warm. Also I just cook white rice, I just like white rice. So I do not know how long it will take to cook brown rice. Sorry!

I start my rice first when making dinner. I add butter and boullion cubes to the water for flavor, either beef or chicken. The average time is about 25 minutes.

Perfect rice in 10 minutes. Brown rice 15 minutes on high pressure. There is a rice button that pressure cooks it on high pressure for 6 minutes (got to remember to push the "start" button!).1 cup white rice + 1.5 cups of water = perfect rice.

I haven't tried it yet with only two cups, but the book says 2 cups uncooked rice takes 30-35 minutes. Or 17-22 minutes using the Quick Rice button. Also FYI 2 cups of Brown Rice takes 100-105 minutes or 38-43 minutes on the Quick Rice button. :)

Hi Kayleigh, I checked the owners booklet that came with the cooker and this is what it said: "The Perfect Rice Cooker can comfortably cook as much as 3 cups of raw rice which will yield over 6 cups of compact cooked rice - over 8 cups when fluffed. You may cook a maximum of 4 cups of raw rice, but to fluff the cooked rice properly, transfer the cooked rice to a larger bowl or serving piece, then fluff." The most I, personally, have made was 3 cups raw rice and it came out perfectly. Good luck! Eggbeth

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.

Normal cooking time for regular white rice is about 52 minutes to 1 hour depends on a setting you choose. There is a quick cooking mode that cooks rice 32-45 minutes, but I have not used the quick cooking mode. Manual can download at http://www.zojirushi.com/products/npnvc for more instructions.

I'm not great with details but I believe it takes 30-40min for white rice and 45min to 1hr for brown rice. Also, I use equal parts rice and water so the rice doesn't turn out mushy. :)

1 cup plain rice, 45 minutes. Haven't tried more but probably won't take too much longer.

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.

Yeah I know ..very easy..Wash rice and fill adequate amount of water for the corresponding amount of rice,say 1 cup of rice needs 2 cups of water or so.Wait for the whistle(usually 1 or 2 whistles is needed.It depends on type of rice).Let the cooker gets cool down its own or place it below running water.Remove the whistler first and then the lid,filter excess water if any..If the rice is not done boil rice for another whistle..It all takes only 10-15mins..Enjoy rice!!

My husband cooked quinoa in it and it would take anywhere from 1-3 hours. I think rice would be similar. It was very inconsistent. The plug on ours burned after a few uses and was replaced under warranty. That one only lasted a couple of weeks (being used once or twice a week) and the plug burned up. I wouldn't recommend buying it.
