How much rice to add? Hi I've just got this cooker and would like to know how much rice to add?

I use the slow cooker setting at low for steel cut oats. 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 hours. The way that I actually do it is to put 3 1/2 cups of water to start and then cook it for 1 1/2 hours. When the beeper beeps, I add the remaining 1/2 cup water and then a good handful of dried fruit--my favorite is dried cranberries. If necessary, I add additional water. Essentially what I did was take the directions from the can of steel-cut oats and translated it to the cooker. I also generally cook my oatmeal at night so that I can haul it into to work with me. It gives me something good to look forward to when I get to work. Enjoy your new cooker. Edited for spelling.

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.

I cook mine 14 min. high pressure. Not the rice cooker. It is a bit moist at first, but let it set a while. 2 to 1 ration.

the trick here is to use 25% less water in the bowl then u normally do. The steamer will add the rest. The direction say to add all the water u need as u would normally boil rice, but I found that's wrong. U end up with a swamp. Rice stew. Add 25% less water and it comes out great!

I've only cooked rice in my pressure cooker once and I used a 1-2 ratio (rice to water). It took about 8 minutes and I did not add water to the bottom. Just put the rice and water in the removable pot, move the dial to 'pressure' and set timer at 8 minutes...it was perfectly cooked.

gave mine as a gift..generally speaking two cups of water to a cup of rice is the best solution so to play it safe limit it to 2 1/2 cups of rice x5 water enough for most families firstuse 8 oz cup = rice x2w cook that amount see result inside cooker go from there press button does all for you from there.

To cook rice, you simply add water to uncook rice. You can look into the inner surface wall of the pot to find out how much water you need. For example, if you want to cook 2 cups of rice, put uncook rice in the pot and add water to the 2 cup level marked on the wall of the pot.

If it is the same cooker as mine I assume it would cook a small amount nicely. I have not tried rice, but I think a quick-cooking rice would be your safest choice. I do know that melting chocolate or caramels works perfectly. Good luck!

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.

If you find out where this rice cooker is from please let us know. As for brown rice, I usually put more water (ex. 2cups rice, 4 1/2cups water) it turns out fine.

Johnny - you might want to experiment with a little more water than regular white rice. I cook brown rice in my Aroma rice cooker daily.

I am sorry Dennis, I have not used the rice cooker yet. Slow cooker and pressure cooker are tops!

Are you adding enough water? The sure way to add enough water is put your finger tips on top of the rice and add enough water to the first line of your middle finger. Dry the bottom of the rice cooker to make sure no water is on it before you put inside the actual cooker. Put the pot in, close lid, and push the cook button. When the rice is done the light will light up on the other side and go into warm mode.

I wouldn't sweat not having the cup just go by the ratio 1 cup rice to 1 cup water, slightly more water for brown rice . I use 3:1 water to steel cut oats, oatmeal or grits. And don't go over the maximum capacity of the cooker. I use whatever cup is handy.

The cooker comes with it's own measuring cups. There are two, one for regular rice and another for gaba rice. I've cooked as little as one measuring cup of rice that produced about 2 cups of cooked rice. The cooker did a great job after I fixed the "operator errors". LOL

I think it is 10 cup cooked rice; when I use 2-3 cup of rice, cooker will get about half filled
