Do you use the plastic cup to measure both the rice and the cooker water?

yes, if you put 2 plastic cups of rice in the inner pot, then add water to the number 2 on the wall of the inner pot with the rice. [ however many plastic cups of rice you add to inner pot, add that much water to inner pot following numbers on wall of inner pot.] set that in the cooker, then add water to number 2 of plastic measuring cup and pour that into cooker. cover with large cover and push down on switch. cooker will turn off automatic, when done. WAIT 15 MIN BEFORE OPENING LID, AFTER COOKER TURNS OFF. hope that helps.

Yes and you don't have to use that cup. Any cup would work just fine because the water measurement for the outer layer doesn't need to be precise. Let's use the CalRose (California No. 1) rice as an example. I add one cup of water for each cup of rice grain. I then add one half to one cup of water for the outer layer, depends on how many cups of rice that I am cooking at that time. The important part is to wait for 15 minutes after the rice is cooked before you open the lid.

Yes I do. I also wash the rice then drain the water out then add up to the 3 cup line. I also let the rice sit in the pot without plugging in for a few minutes

The measuring cup used to measure dry rice has a liquid capacity of 3/4 US cups. I suspect that it produces 1 cup of cooked rice. The instruction book recommends soaking the rice before cooking, 2 hours for brown rice. It also recommends warming the rice for 15 to 30 mins after the cooker switches off. This requires manually switching to warm. You may wish to purchase a cooker with an automatic warming switch. Then the rice will cook and stay warm without further attention from the chef.

I use the table in the instruction manual on pg.15. I fill the "Inner pan" with the water amount specified in the table and use the cup that the cooker came with for measuring the rice amount. For example, 3 cups of "white" rice => first filling the Inner pan to the "3" mark on the inside wall and then adding 3 cups of white rice with the 6oz cup that came with the cooker.Hope this helps.

I've never used a rice cooker, but I use about 2-2 1/2 cups water for every cup of brown rice for cooking it on the stove top. Maybe you can convert this to what you need for your rice cooker.

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.

No, it is on the bottom of the cup that you use to measure the amount of water to use. Just turn the cup upside down and you will see it. :-)

Yes. I use the steamer insert and a small glass mixing bowl. Fill with water to bottom of steamer insert, 1.5 cups of rice, 1.75 cups of water (season as you would like), cover 40 - 45 min. on steam.

There are measuring lines inside the bowl for the different types of rice, and that's what I've been using to get perfect rice. I usually use three measuring cups of brown rice, then add some broth/stock/herbs/whatever and I make sure to keep it under the three cup line for brown rice on the inside of the bowl. If it's under, then I add water to reach the brown three cup line. You do have to check that you are using the correct line for your rice type. Page 11 in the instruction manual has "Tips for Cooking Rice" and it discusses water levels for different amounts and types of rices.

The plastic cup that comes with the cooker is equivalent to a 3/4 cup measuring cup. There are no other cups.

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.

Hi Beryl,I have only used the rice cooker only once because I did not have a rice cup to measure with. When I did try to do an "estimate" it did not turn out well. But there should be instructions in the pamphlet that came with the cooker. In general 1 cup of rice with 1-1/2 cup of water. I have ordered from Amazon a rice cup so I will try again soon.

I'm sorry but I have not used the measuring cup for that reason. I plan to try the cup again, because if you don't use something, it is just hit and miss. I really like the egg cooker, it is less messy and I love the poached egg unit!

After you wash or wet the rice in the cooker, level the rice across the cooker, measure the dept of the rice, add water to cover the same dept above the surface of the rice. It will work every time.

10 cup dry rice to use but have not cooked that amount in this cooker yet. It's measured with small plastic cups ( which are small) not the regular cup measurement.

Yes...there are lines that indicate how much water is needed based on your cup preference. Great product also. I use it to make rice about three times a week. Hope this helps.

no, I use only two of the small cups and I don't over fill with water. I put in 4 small cups for white rice and 5 small cups of water for brown and I have not problems. It is the best ever. :)
