What's Prepares up to 60 cups of perfectly cooked rice (30 cups uncooked) means? What really means of 30 cups uncooked?

30 cups uncooked means dry rice. This thing is good for a lot of other uses than just rice. You can make soup, stews, pasta, sauces. Its pretty durable. I use it in a program where we use it every day for something.

It does not cook anywhere close to that, if you use REAL 8 oz cups. Not even if you puff up the rice with a fork. The REAL problem with this item is the lightweight lid that bounces up and down when stream builds up. It splatters the sticky rice water all over the counter. This item cannot be left alone like other rice cookers. The cook time stays on too long, drying out or burning the rice. You can attend to it until the first sign of boiling, then you have to manually set it to warm, to keep it from spilling over or over-cooking.

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.

30 cups uncooked rice is the amount of rice you begin with. After adding water and cooking the 30 cups, the rice expands/provides 60 cups of perfectly edible rice.

yes it dose cook 20 cups of uncooked rice and it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to including stand time.

I believe the most it will handle is 3 cups uncooked rice at one time. That is the highest mark embossed on the inside of the cook pot indicating the amount water which must be added to the cooker. Another consideration is that there are times when the rice is cooking, that some water will "bubble up" and make its' way outside the lid. Too much more water would only exacerbate this problem.

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.

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.

i hope you got yr question answered - 6 cups of raw rice - it's 3.2 QT pot - this might be useful for anyone who has this question too! http://vitaclaychef.com/rice-cookers-and-slow-cookers/vitaclay-smart-multicooker-6-cup (update: posted wrong link before)

Yes. I routinely cook one cup of brown rice, or 3/4 cup of steel cut oats. Keep in mind that a "cup" refers to the measuring cup supplied with the machine used for measuring the dry ingredients. It's not an eight ounce cup (it's more like 5-6 oz).

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!!

The smallest amount that we have cooked is 2 cups of rice. It cooks 2 cups of rice well. I don't know how much rice you eat, but for my wife and I, 2 cups of rice is too much rice for us.

1 cup of rice add 1 3/4 cups of water makes 4 servings which is about 2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked rice. For extra flavor, I add a little chicken or vegetable bouillon. This rice is delicious hot or cold.

The max is four cups of dry rice. That fills it to the top with cooked rice.

I am not sure what the max would be but I would guess about 10 cups. I normally cook 5 cups of rice at a time and that fills the drawer half way.

15 (US) pounds of rice will yield 69.78 (US) cups of cooked rice. A Japanese Gō cup is .76 of a (US) cup. So, 69.78/.76 = 91.82 Japanese Gō cups of rice is what you will get out of this bag of rice. That would vary if one (US) cup of this rice yields more than the traditional two (US) cups of cooked rice.

The max I have made is 4 of the provided cups raw rice. It serves a family meal of 4-6 with little/none left over. I have not actually measured the output. Sorry I cannot help further.

Why do people comment if they don't want to offer an answer? First, fill the reservoir with water to the fullest level. The rule of thumb for White Rice regardless of how it's cooked, is 1 Cup uncooked White Rice to 2 Cups cold Water. Always use double the amount of water as you do rice. When it's cooked, you'll end up with approx. 2 Cups of White Rice using this equation. Put rice and water into the included Plastic basket, & set the timer according to directions. If you don't have directions for some reason, I'd look online for a replacement booklet, or use the info on the bag of rice as a guideline., My steamer takes approx 20 mins. for 1 Cup uncooked rice, it's an older version of this unit. Timing can vary for many reasons. I would check the cooking process often, and turn unit off when rice is rice is fluffy with a fork. Rice, as well as veggies will continue to cook even after the timer stops unless you remove the food from the unit. If you're fussy about overcooking, make sure you stay close by. I did have to practice with rice a couple of times before getting it just right. Once you get the timing of your favorite foods down, you'll never want to be without a steamer, and the process becomes second nature. Good luck!

Japanese cups are about 6 ounces, rather than 8 ounces. It should make 18 oz uncooked white rice into about 36 oz of cooked rice.
