What is the minimum cups of uncooked rice can I cook without damaging it? Does it boil and bubble to the top?

The minimum that I have used is 1 cup, and it comes out perfectly. The rice cooker comes with a measuring cup. I have never made more than 3 cups of rice with this cooker, but I've never had the rice or water boil over.

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.

Probably one cup and it will probably not boil and bubble to the top. My minimum has been two cups - never have cooked only one cup in any rice cooker.

The minimum I cook is one cup, and there is never any problem. I don't think it would be worth cooking less. It has never boiled and bubbled to the top

3 measures of the cup that comes with the rice cooker. I have no idea what would happen if you tried to cook more than that but the water and rice have to co somewhere so I am thinking you would create a bit of a mess. I have a larger 5 cup Zojurushi for larger amounts and use this model for myself or an extra person at the most.

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.

Hello Gary,The 6 cups refers to the measuring cup that comes with the rice cooker. In other words, 6 cups of uncooked rice from the measuring cup it comes with.I hope this clarifies your question! If you have any other questions, let us know!

cooked rice. I make 3-4 dry cups which fills it halfway. I think it would handle 6 cups dry

Yes, one cup of rice is fine. We might be able to cook only half of a cup but honestly I never tried it my self. The other answers are pretty much accurate. We can cook up to 6 cups and the quality is great, especially for the price. Whenever it's done cooking, make sure you either keep using the "keep warm" feature or just stir the rice up at the beginning so it wont' stick to the bottom and surrounding area of the cooking container. Enjoy!

If you cook plain rice then 1cup rice add 2 cups of water. If you add any fresh vegetables (carrots,beans etc) then add littlebit more like 1/2 cup for veg. to cook. Also don't cook on high as the water absorbs very fast and not enough water for rice to cook.

Yes, dry rice means uncooked rice. This Zoji NHS-18 will cook up to 10 rice cooker measuring cups of dry rice. A rice cooker measuring cup is 6 ounces ( 3/4 of a cup) of dry measure, if using American standard measuring cups. Hope this 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.

No it is not big enough to accommodate that much uncooked rice. I estimate about 4 cups of uncooked rice.

Hi Carmen, I'm not sure about 1 cup. I have a large family so I always cook a larger quantity and like having leftovers for lunch the next day. The more you cook the longer it takes. I see someone else says 20 minutes for 1 cup. I would guess that would be correct. We put the rice on first and then begin the rest of the meal. Bon appetite!!

Standard procedure of cooking rice is to take 1 cup of rice with 1.75-2 cups of water and soak it for 15 minutes before starting the cooker. The cooker automatically stops after cooking or it will switch to 'keep warm mode".

Two cups of rice is what is recommended as the minimum. Like the others I prefer to cook up more for use during the week, saves a lot of time.

Never cooked that little, usually cook 5 cups in about 15 minutes. Fluffy white rice, has a seperate button for brown, but Ive never tried it. Its the only rice cookerI have had that can turn off without having to unplug it.

Hi - Your pot will never boil over. If you are cooking rice, say, a few kernels will probably splash out, but it won't bubble over.

Hi Raffael, I know that the maximum capacity of this rice cooker is 4 cups (rice cooker cups-6 oz) of dry rice. This is what I usually cook for my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage boys). I've never measured the actual amount of cooked rice, though. But I can tell that I can feed my whole family at least 2 times with this amount of rice. So, I think 5.5 cups represents the maximum capacity of cooked rice that this cooker makes. Again, we are talking about the rice cooker cups-6 oz not regular cups-8 oz.Hope, it was helpful. :)

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.
