About one is all it will take...BUT... READ ALL THE REVIEWS (always do this)... there are about 600 OF THEM - as always, when there are a lot of responses, they,of course, put all the GOOD ONES on the first few pages... look about 20 pages down and you will see all the 1 star ones - (the least they will accept) This thing is a piece of garbage - it broke after 4 uses - and its SO CHEAP - its not even worth sending back (just throw it in the trash) (No reflection on Amazon whatsoever)

1.5 clips dry rice. The cooked rice may lift the top off a bit at that amount, but it won't overflow.

The best it about a cup and a half. I tried more but it didn't work as well.

Rice-water ratio should be 1 to 1. For the best result, you should put slightly more than 4 cups of water for 4 cups of rice.

1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water. cook for 20 minutes, let sit for 5 minutes, fluff with a fork.

I guess it can hold at about 5 cups of rice. You don't wan to put too many cups otherwise you do not have enough space to wash the rice.

According to the manual, the maximum is 6 cups (for 6 people) of white rice, and 4 cups of brown rice. For other cooking purpose, like making soup, the maxiumum volume is 1.08 liters. I never bother to measure, just pour in about 3/4 of an inch water above the the rice, and the rice (whatever kind) always ends up moist and done.

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).

5 cups of rice is an awful lot. Consider that 1/2 cup is a very generous serving along side a main dish. If you need more than 10-12 servings of rice then you might consider the 10 cup model. And yes, the 10 cup can cook rice for 2 the same as the 5 cup model.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes, 3 cups of uncooked rice + 6 cups of water = 3 cups of cooked rice. Diameter is about 7 inches.

I use parboiled rice...I put in two cups of dry rice to five cups of water and then I let it sit for around fifteen minutes after it is done.

The 6 cups referred to is capacity for uncooked rice. Perhaps surprisingly, the cooked rice volume is only slightly more than this because this is a pressure cooker.

Gail, Typically the amount of uncooked rice to water is 1:2, e.g. one cup of rice to cups of water. There may be some variance depending on the altitude where you live and/or the type of rice that you are cooking.

I don't believe it would be advisable. You should the pot/crock that came with it. That said, you can prepare very small amounts, down to 1/2 cup of dry rice.

You can pretty much make any amount of rice. I won't make the complete 20 cups again. It did make a mess but was easy to clean. I have cooked so many different types of food in it. I love mine.
