it comes with its own "cup" which is a little less than a regular cup, I believe it is 6oz. It cooks a maximum of 8 "cups" yielding 16 cooked "cups". Hope that helps you. Its a great rice cooker. I bought it mainly for brown rice and it does an excellent job.

Oh Gosh! I would think you could put in at least 2 cups of dry rice plus vegetables very easily. I am very happy with this rice cooker. I have had it a couple years now and have great success with it. Would certainly purchase again. I normally cook 3 cups of dry rice at a time with room to spare.

That means it will produce 60 cups of cooked rice using 30 cups of raw rice. We used ours last week for a company supper. We used 5 cups of raw rice and then filled it with water to the 25 line on the pot. After about 40 minutes we had some really good rice -- neither sticky nor too dry, but perfect from that at the top of the pot to the very bottom. This is the 3rd time we have used it for our annual supper and have had good results each time.

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

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

Oh Definitely! We only cook small amounts. To update my review there is some sticking to bottom. The appliance comes with one of those measuring cups. For 2 people we use 1.5 to 2 scoops of rice. Hope that helps!

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.

Yes, it makes at most 5 cups of rice which yields about 10 serving sizes of cooked rice.

If your cooker has enough capacity, one cup of rice should cook in the same amount of time as 4 cups: around a half hour.One cup of uncooked rice will result in "about" two cups of cooked rice.

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.

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".

We have the 5 cup model and rarely cook more than one cup also. One cup is the minimum for both white and brown rice.

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.

4 cups of uncooked rice = 8 cups cooked.........almost to the top. Anymore would spill over.

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!

We put three cups of dry rice in a single tray. So when all three trays are used it steams quite a bit of food. We regularly cook for four adults and have others over in addition. This is quite large.

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.
