I don't see why not. It will steam about anything. My wife uses it for small portions of grain and oats. I am pretty sure they are less than 1 cup. For the price it is a neat little unit.

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.

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.

The most I have done is 2 cups rice uncooked yielding around 4 cups cooked. You could probably do another cup dry rice and it would hold it. It's not a large cooker, but works perfectly. I love it for small amounts.

One is for 10 cups max cooked rice. the other 4 cups of cooked rice. I have the 10 cups and would pick again. I can then make extra for dishes using cooked rice as in stir fry. One cooking, two meals (or more). This is a great machine. Have been using one for several years.

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.

Just looking at the inside since I use two cups water to one cup rice - I would surmise that it only takes five cups of dry rice. Just my opinion.

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.

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!

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!

According to the chart that came with my rice cooker, the 5.5 cup cooker can be used to cook one cup of rice. This is the minimum size for all the three sizes of Zojirushi rice cookers.
