I don't cook any rice. I used to cook beans, chicken, beef and other grains.

The rice that I use don't need a pressure cooker. I usually cook only things that otherwise will take longer to cook on a regular pot like beans, chick peas, and other dry grains. It is excellent to cook chicken, beef and other meets. I love my little Hawkins Contura because in my household we are only my son and I and is the perfect size plus an excellent quality.

Usually it is about 14 rice cooker cup of uncooked rice... But depend if you are using regular rice or basmati... always better to try 2 cups of the rice you want to use and see how many cups it give you ....

5.5 refers to the dry rice. Depending on the rice, it will roughly double, so you will have 11 or so 'cups' of cooked rice. NOTE: A rice cooker 'cup' is not an Imperial cup (8 oz.), it is 6 oz.

We purchased a 10 cup. Sometimes I cook 2-3 cups as well.Infact the 10 cup cooker is not that big if you are worried about the size. If you have guests at home very often and if you cook rice very often, go ahead and buy a 10 cup.It's certainly a good investment.

3 180ml rice cups of dry rice, producing 6 cups of cooked rice. Manual assumes 1 rice cup of rice is for one person. We use 120ml of rice for two of us with 240ml of water to make the rice we eat at dinner time.

The smallest amount I cooked was 1 rice measuring cup of rice which is about 3/4 regular cup of rice, and it turned out fine. But if I use keep-warm feature after cooked, I prefer cooking more than 2 measuring cups.

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...

You can make as little as 2 cups. There are measuring lines on how much water or broth to use as well as a chart showing how much dry rice yields cooked rice.

This question begets more questions....I guess it depends on how big/busy of a restaurant you are talking about. Remember it IS a SLOW cooker. If you want to prepare soups you need to give yourself 6 hours for the soups to cook and flavors to meld. It will hold 6 quarts (192 ozs) which would only provide 24--8 oz servings. As for rice, I've never tried it to cook only rice, but my guess is you'd be better off with a large electric rice cooker as found in an Asian market....they're large and fast!

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 never cook rice for one in the pressure cooker. Instead, if you have access to a microwave oven use a vegetable steamer. Place the amount of rice you will consume in the steamer insert tray. Just cover with water. Microwave on "Medium Power" for 10 - 12 minutes. Voila! nice fluffy rice. No waste.

I have only cooked 1 cup (8 oz. by my measuring cup) of rice at a time and it works fine. They provide a measuring cup (but I use my own), on one side marked by quarters and the other side reading numerical values up to 160. I filled their cup and poured the contents into mine, and it came to 6 oz. according to my cup. I hope this helps!

It will cook that much and just double the amount of water. If you are using brown rice just use al small amount more

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.

We usually cook 1 1/2 - 2 cups of white rice. It only takes about 25-30 minutes, the water to rice ratio we use is 1:1

Yes, you can cook as much or as little rice as you want . Just make sure you cook with the right amount of water

About 15 to 20 minutes for us but we are a family of 5 so we need lots of rice. The smaller amount you cook the faster it cooks. I put it on when i start cooking so that by the time dinner is ready its finished. Id definitely recommend it
