How much rice does the Zojirushi 3 cup make? Can anyone tell me how much cooked rice actually comes out of the 3 cup cooker?

Japanese cups are about 6 ounces, rather than 8 ounces. It should make 18 oz uncooked white rice into about 36 oz of cooked rice.

It's a mess. No matter how less rice or water you put in the pot, it still spilt out all over the microwave plate. Don't buy it. Try this one "Progressive International GMRC-220 6-Cup (Cooked) Rice Cooker Set" $16.68 (sold by Amazon).http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00J5EXC5M/ref=pd_aw_sim_k_4?refRID=06PZGZW40WF6A32K638B

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 routinely do 1 cup of rice but it looks like it's programmed to do as little as half a cup. It absolutely doesn't boil or bubble to the top because the lid snaps shut. The only moisture that escapes is steam from the back. When you open it a bit of steam comes out and a little moisture trickles around a kind of gutter under the lid. I loooove this appliance. I've never been able to cook rice before and now I cook it all the time. I need to experiment with other grains, soon.

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...

I've tried only 3 cups mixed rice, after it was cook, it seems only have space for i more cup of rice! The cooker is good so far, I had this brand before and it is quite reliable!

The cooker comes with it's own measuring cups. There are two, one for regular rice and another for gaba rice. I've cooked as little as one measuring cup of rice that produced about 2 cups of cooked rice. The cooker did a great job after I fixed the "operator errors". LOL

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 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.

I am sorry Dennis, I have not used the rice cooker yet. Slow cooker and pressure cooker are tops!

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 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.

No. The cooker includes a 3/4 cup "measuring cup," and the instructions say it can cook up to 3 of these, which would be 2 1/4 cups of uncooked rice. They claim this will make 6 cups of cooked rice.

Hello David. I'm sorry I can't help because I haven't made regular rice yet. I Can tell you this. I've used to make Rice & Peas and a lot goes in it. 4 cups Rice, cocnut milk, black beans, garlic& onion, seasonings & water. My Meals take about 3-4 hrs to cook & the last 40 minutes I start rice & it's ready at the end. I would guess 15-20 minutes for reg rice. I love this thing & I've had many over the yrs. I recommend highly.

We use it to make large batches for our local Shelter. It comes with a measuring cup for the rice and there are markings on the inside of the liner for how much water to add. I think you could make as little as five cups of cooked rice, though we use 10 lbs of raw rice at a time. Our rice is part of a large meal for about 60 homeless folks. We would love to buy one of the Zojirushi cookers, but the price is prohibitive. For much less money, this is a great rice cooker that is relatively foolproof if you carefully follow the enclosed instructions. Don't lose those! Honestly, it seems like overkill if you primarily want it for small amounts. Its also pretty large so we keep it in our garage. We use it to make large batches for our local Shelter.
