6 cups dry? When it says 6 cup rice is that dry or cooked?

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...

Only time my rice becomes dry is if I don't wash (rinse the rice to get rid of excess white starch) the rice prior cooking - it becomes to starchy and dry. Or if I don't get the right ratio right (water and rice)I would trying mixing the rice around. I usually see the excess moisture at end of the glass lid. Good luck

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.

If you are using long-grain rice, then the measurement usually is - one cup of rice and two cups of water. For brown rice - one cup of rice to about two and a half cups of water. Tip - spray the bottom of the pot with spray oil, so rice won't stick to the bottom while cooking.

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.

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.

The maximum is 3 cups raw which would come out to 6 cups cooked according to directions. Still love my perfect rice cooker!!

The 28 cup capacity refers to cooked rice. We use about 9 cups of raw rice to yield 27 cups of cooked rice

The max is four cups of dry rice. That fills it to the top with cooked rice.

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.

Hi Raffael, I know that the maximum capacity of this rice cooker is 4 cups (rice cooker cups-6 oz) of dry rice. This is what I usually cook for my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage boys). I've never measured the actual amount of cooked rice, though. But I can tell that I can feed my whole family at least 2 times with this amount of rice. So, I think 5.5 cups represents the maximum capacity of cooked rice that this cooker makes. Again, we are talking about the rice cooker cups-6 oz not regular cups-8 oz.Hope, it was helpful. :)

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.

Yes. I routinely cook one cup of brown rice, or 3/4 cup of steel cut oats. Keep in mind that a "cup" refers to the measuring cup supplied with the machine used for measuring the dry ingredients. It's not an eight ounce cup (it's more like 5-6 oz).

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 sure it is cooked. I usually make 3 to 4 cups dry which fills it about halfway. It is a little larger than I need but wanted the option to cook more, I think max 6 dry cups.
