Can I use a regular measuring cup or is the M-Cup for a rice cooker different?

I never thought about it, so I measured my cup and it is not the same as a measuring cup, so I would stick with the cup that came with it. Good question!

FYI, that's 5.5 rice cooker cups, and they're a a little bit smaller than a standard measuring cup.

Definitely not! The 2 cup measurement is right below the white rim, I would only use this measuring cup for liquids, or solids such as rice.

Yes, there are little indicators on the side of the pan to help measure out your rice. We make 2 cups each time but you can make 1 cup just the same. Not sure the very minimum you can make but yes less than 3 cups can be done. We make jasmine rice with a little salt & butter in the mix and it is terrific. When we travel our little rice maker comes with, it's been great!

The 1 cup measuring cup I have does not fit into the mouth of these jars. I find myself using 1/2 cups instead or pouring into the cup. My hand does fit in on its own, but I don't think that's what you were asking (just in case).

From the manual: "The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards (180mL) and is not equal to one U.S. cup." 180mL is less than one US cup, most measuring cups have US and mL. You can order a replacement measuring cup for $3.00 from: http://www.aroma-housewares.com/ (don't know shipping cost) I use this rice cooker several times a week, the rice is perfect,clean-up is fast.

I don't have mine anymore. I sent it back because it was tiny. When they say 6 cup they are talking about 3/4 not one cup. Plus brown rice takes up more room so you end up with only about 3 real cups of brown rice when done. I sent it back and got the bigger one and it is fine.

It is a 10 cup rice cooker. This is the highest measurement marked inside of cooking bowl. Good cooker, hope this helps.

I have this rice cooker and it works perfectly fine! My old one (which was 10 cups) had the same problems like yours right now so I bought the 5 cup one and it works fine. I think it is a manufacturing problem.

I'm sorry but I have not used the measuring cup for that reason. I plan to try the cup again, because if you don't use something, it is just hit and miss. I really like the egg cooker, it is less messy and I love the poached egg unit!

I may be able to find mine and make a copy, but have not used the directions for over a year. The unit comes with a measuring cup... and marking on the side for water...don't use either. Basically, I just follow the rice directions on the side of a package...select white (ok, I don't really eat white rice) or brown, add a tiny bit of oil to prevent boil over, and turn it on (being careful not to put too much in). It does the rest. I happen to like my rice a tiny bit moister, so usually put a small amount more water than suggested (as in under 1/8 cup for a 5 cup batch). It gets really hot, and then begins lowering the amount of heat until it reaches the end of the timed cycle...showing 1 minute remaining....it then continous to heat, until it measure the rise in temp from running out free water and turns off...pretty simple actually Cycles can take much longer than it initially shows, depending on the rice.

Mine is also just short of 4 1/2" deep and 7 1/2" diameter. I use it every day, including to cook rice -- just add a bit more water or take 5 minutes off the cooking time.

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.

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!

I use the heights to measure. Water height (from the surface of rice to the surface of water) is about the same as the height of rice. It depends on how you like the rice, you may decrease or increase the water, but it must be very slight. I usually make the water height slightly less than the rice height. You need to try several times to make it right to you. Out side water is not critical, you may use a coffee mug with about half inch height water. Hope this help. Good luck.

Yes, but the ratio of rice to water will be different than before. 1 cup of rice with a regular measuring cup is more than one cup of rice from the measuring cup it came with. I would try to re-order a cup first, but if not use a regular measuring cup and make sure to add a little extra water.
