What would be the equivalent size in numbers of cups of cooked rice? Other rice cookers use this measure to indicate size. Thanks

I don't have the answer, but when I need information I go to their website http://instantpot.com/. Also, they have a ton of awesome videos that really help you understand the Instant Pot.

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 measured it last night. The rice cup that comes with it is equivalent to 2/3 cup.

No, inside it only goes up to 4. It is an 8 cup rice cooker, because once you cook 4 cups of rice it expands to the size of eight cups. Hope that helps :)

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.

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

With rice cookers, a "cup" is 6 ounces of dry rice and they usually come with a 6 ounce "cup" measure. So a 6-cup machine would use up to 36 ounces of dry rice. Hope this helps!

4 cups of uncooked rice = 8 cups cooked.........almost to the top. Anymore would spill over.

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.

I think it's about the same size as other 10 cups rice cookers. maybe the depdth is deeper than others? it just have four buttons: white rice, steam, brown rice and porridge/soup. I don't think there is any setting for mixed rice.Thanks

The smallest amount if rice I've cooked was 5 cups of Japanese Sweet Rice. The rice cooker really know how to make the best texture & flavor when using the correct type of rice & setting. It's truly amaizing!

I haven't cooked 5.5 cups rice so far. I usually cook 1.5 cup. It will make 3-4 bowls (Japanese / Chinese bowl) of cooked rice. I hope u get some ideas about it.

Yes one cup of rice can be cooked - be certain to use the exact amount of water measured on the scale inside the cook pot. Use the measuring cup provided with the cooker for the rice. I prefer to cook 2 cups of rice and allow the rice cooker to hold today's uneaten on warm for consumption tomorrow. It's still really good rice.

it comes with its own "cup" which is a little less than a regular cup, I believe it is 6oz. It cooks a maximum of 8 "cups" yielding 16 cooked "cups". Hope that helps you. Its a great rice cooker. I bought it mainly for brown rice and it does an excellent job.

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.

Those markers are for relative measurements. It depend on it is the long or short grain, white or brown rice. You can start out with one cup of white rice and fill water to the one cup marker and see how it turn out and make adjustment from there. Cup is the measuring cup for kitchen use. Hope it help.
