I have the small Deni Pressure cooker and therefore do not cook beans in it, but my books says to never fill the cooker more than half full. Beans tend to foam a lot so add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of foaming. Good luck.

I used 1.5 cup of water per cup of brown rice (depending on rice) and it worked great. It does take a lot longer to cook.

I cook 3/4 cup rice in 1 1/2 cups of water for 8 min. on power level 7. Check for doneness and if need be put in for another 1/2 minute.

I would say 4 cups which would be half the water allowed would be the least amount you could make at one process My assumption only, the directions does not note how little you can make at one processing. I always make the full 8 cups, It is better brewed coffee too!

A lot! I've read some on it & one source suggested using 2 quarts of coffee, regular brew that has been cooled to warm. I haven't done much more research but if I were you I'd find some sources. I know there are other things you can put in the water like Epsom salts & other herbs. Just find what works for you.

I have cooked the following in this rice cooker: Trader Joe's 17 bean and barley soup mix; also lentils, quinoa, all kinds of beans and whole wheat pasta and split peas. Of course when cooking beans in any manner using any device, they should be soaked first for at least 4 hours.

Too much! The book says 2 cups of rice and 2-2 1/3 cup of water to make 2 full cups of rice, I use 2 1/2 cup of water. I would try 1 cup of rice and 1 1/4 cup of water. Different types of rice require slightly different amounts of water. Just play with it, and always let the rice sit about 10-15 after it goes off.

One serving is 1/4 cup dry, that will double in size when cooked. I used 1 cup on my first cooking which says 4 servings, thats a lot of Rice and Quinoa when cooked. It is very good left over but will limit my next cooking to the 1/4 cup because I add lots of things to mine.

It really depends on what you are cooking. The minimum is 1 cup, which I would use, for example, to steam string beans in a collapsible steamer basket. Legumes on the other hand can require 2 to 3 times the liquid compared to the quantity of legumes put in the pot. If I am making soup for two, I will probably use a quart of chicken broth and then add in raw vegetables and maybe a 1/2 cup of rice or chopped potatoes. I always double-check myself by looking in one of Lorna Sass's cookbooks--mine (the vegetarian edition) has a handy chart just inside the cover.

5 cups of liquid. Of course, use less liquid if you are adding ingredients.

We ave not attempted that yet, but we have used beads,small pastas,dried beans,but never water. I thinks it would be fine,but have not done it thus far. When we do we will let you know how it went!

Very nicely if you stick with a ratio of 2 - 3 cups water to 1 cup rice (depending on how firm or soft you like it). We add a little olive oil and salt at a minimum - seems to cook better, and sometimes substitute veg broth for some of the water for flavor.

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.

Which means that the maximum of dry rice is 3 cups, which will yield 6 cups cooked.By the way, the instructions are not all that important. I used 3 cups of brown and filled up the bowl with water to the #3. But after 45 minutes, the rice was soupy. So I cooked it an additional 8 minutes. The rice was perfect. Any moderately skilled cook will easily make such adjustments.Next time, less water. Less rice, too, with spinach and a dab of butter added near the end. The possibilities are endless...

Thanks!-wanted to know before purchasing, the size of the pot, and this will do for my recipe as it calls for 1lb of beans.

About half a cup, depending on the size of the pot. Pour on soil and mix around drip line.

I haven't used THIS brand yet, even though I ordered it; however on other brands I have used the recommended amount is 4 TBSP to 1 cup of water. I would start there. Hope this helps! :-)
