What is the smallest amount of rice you've cooked successfully?

The machine comes with a measuring cup and the smallest amount I have cooked is three cups using the included measure. This was a mixture of barley rice and white rice

I have only tried a minimum of two cups of uncooked rice...turned out excellent for both brown and white rice

I have used the measuring cup included and only cooked one of those which translates out to two cups after it's cooked and it turned out perfect.

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!

I don't believe there is a minimum amount. I have made as little as one cup of rice and it came out fine. I did, however, find that the amount of liquid recommended by Breville is too little. They recommend once cup of liquid per cup of rice. I found that it comes out much better with two cups of liquid to one cup of rice.

I have cooked one cup of rice several times with my Panasonic Fuzzy Logic rice cooker. The rice always comes out very good.

Hi, I've only cooked brown rice, 5 cups at a time, and it takes 35-45 minutes.

I used 1.5 cup of water per cup of brown rice (depending on rice) and it worked great. It does take a lot longer to cook.

you definitely can cook a one cup measure of rice, but i haven't tried anything less. the umami setting soaks the rice a bit longer and so you get a noticeably softer, moister, cooked rice.

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!

I usually use 1 cup of white or brown rice and 1.2 or 2 cups of water respectively. It also cooks quinoa perfectly, and wild rice, and gourmet rice blends, and red rice, and sushi rice. It has never once produced rice that was not perfect in many, many years.

I only cook 1 and 1/2 cups of rice with 2 and 1/2 cup of water.. I cook Mahatma Jasmine. Comes out perfect. And the fragrant is wonderful.its long grain. Once you cook this rice you'll never cook any other.

Hi Karie - Yes, this rice maker works well with small amounts of rice also. We are two and seldom make more than 1 to 2 cups of rice.

I make rice just for myself all the time, but I like to have left overs too. It's better to cook a little more rice than to cook just one small serving. I've noticed small servings will have more of a tendency to burn to the bottom. I would recommend this rice cooker to anyone. It's my favorite thing in my kitchen by far!!

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.

I would say the lowest would be approx 4 cups of cooked rice. The warm function is wonderful because you can eat some for lunch and have some ready for dinner. You can also make some for dinner and leave it in warm for the morning so it doesn't dry out... Great for lunch later. Hope this helps

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.

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