I just pour the rice and water together into one of the metal bowls. The rice usually takes longer than the other foods so I start the rice first. I make brown rice with this cooker often. I don't soak the rice first, I am really impatient when it comes to cooking.

For white jasmine rice I use 2 of their measuring cups. This measuring cup holds about 3/4 US cup. Then using the marks on the inside of the cooker add water to the 2 cup level. Outside the container I add a full measuring cup of water for boiling, again using their cup. This works well for me. Note I live at 7500 feet, water boils at a lower temp and takes more to cook the rice. The main thing is the measuring cup that comes with the cooker is small and the lines inside the cooker are set for that measure. Brown rice takes more water in the outside boiler.

I think this cooker is pretty drying, so I use a 1:1.5 rice to water ratio, but it also depends on how you would like the rice to be done. I believe you have to rinse the rice, but not too much in case the nutrition might be washed off.

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.

Mine came with a little plastic cup and there are little notches on the inside of the cooker but since measurements can vary by rice, I just measure like I would in a regular pot which is 2-1 water to rice for white and a quarter cup extra water for brown (2 1/4 water to 1 cup brown)

I too found my brown rice to be a little "mushier" than I would have liked. I just use a little less water than the marking on the cooker and have excellent tasting rice that is neither mushy nor hard.

I use the table in the instruction manual on pg.15. I fill the "Inner pan" with the water amount specified in the table and use the cup that the cooker came with for measuring the rice amount. For example, 3 cups of "white" rice => first filling the Inner pan to the "3" mark on the inside wall and then adding 3 cups of white rice with the 6oz cup that came with the cooker.Hope this helps.

You are welcome. They should refund your money because it seems like the rice cooker may be defective. Or they should send you another one. Good luck.

yes, if you put 2 plastic cups of rice in the inner pot, then add water to the number 2 on the wall of the inner pot with the rice. [ however many plastic cups of rice you add to inner pot, add that much water to inner pot following numbers on wall of inner pot.] set that in the cooker, then add water to number 2 of plastic measuring cup and pour that into cooker. cover with large cover and push down on switch. cooker will turn off automatic, when done. WAIT 15 MIN BEFORE OPENING LID, AFTER COOKER TURNS OFF. hope that helps.

You can make any kind of rice with a rice cooker. I cook brown rice in mine all the time. As long as you put in the right amount of water, the rice will turn out fine.

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.

We cook our brown rice this way: 1 cup of water in the hopper, two cups of rice in three cups of water in the bowl. At the end of the cycle it's still just a bit too wet, but we pop a lump of butter in at that point, and leave it in the warming mode for 10-20 minutes while cooking the rest of dinner. When it's time to eat, it's perfect.Before this cooker, we had one of the fancy fuzzy-logic computerized cookers. I think this one does a better job, really.

Christina, one of your problems was that you should add two cups of water for every cup of rice. I've made rice in both the high pressure mode and the rice cooker mode and both work great. Brown rice does take longer to cook than white rice. Be brave Christina. try again. I prefer using the high pressure mode, I feel it does a better job. Refer to the manual's directions for making rice in the high pressure mode.

One cup of rice to one and 3/4 cup of water. That ratio has worked great for me. I use long grain texmati rice.

I must be doing something wrong. My rice in pressure cooker is awful. But then I usually only make brown rice.
