What's the capacity of this rice cooker? 6 cups or 10 cups?

I believe its only 6 cups. I had a 10 previously and its definitely not that big.

Yes, one cup of rice is fine. We might be able to cook only half of a cup but honestly I never tried it my self. The other answers are pretty much accurate. We can cook up to 6 cups and the quality is great, especially for the price. Whenever it's done cooking, make sure you either keep using the "keep warm" feature or just stir the rice up at the beginning so it wont' stick to the bottom and surrounding area of the cooking container. Enjoy!

probably three cups, just by guessing -- we are typical Asian family who eat rice regularly, however, I use rice cooker Zujirushi or Tatung. I bought this for beef or chicken soup -- I put this in another outer pot when the water is still cold, since this is in the form of steaming so the broth has all flavor

The maximum is 3 cups raw which would come out to 6 cups cooked according to directions. Still love my perfect rice cooker!!

Hi Kayleigh, I checked the owners booklet that came with the cooker and this is what it said: "The Perfect Rice Cooker can comfortably cook as much as 3 cups of raw rice which will yield over 6 cups of compact cooked rice - over 8 cups when fluffed. You may cook a maximum of 4 cups of raw rice, but to fluff the cooked rice properly, transfer the cooked rice to a larger bowl or serving piece, then fluff." The most I, personally, have made was 3 cups raw rice and it came out perfectly. Good luck! Eggbeth

I haven't measured, but I'd guess it cooks at least 6 cups -- it's quite big, about the size of the pot I boil spaghetti in (for a family).

I guess it can hold at about 5 cups of rice. You don't wan to put too many cups otherwise you do not have enough space to wash the rice.

I don't really know. It is 10 of the little cups they give you. I compared the little cup with a standard dry cup measurement and it is about 7/8 of a standard cup, dry rice. I am not sure how much it expands. I will tell you I have waited 20 years for an all stainless cooker like this and I just bought 2 more incase they quit making them. It is 100% stainless where the rice would be. The walls are double.

I'd be willing to say about 10-12 cups we do an 8 cup recipe and it has plenary more power and room for a good 2- 4 cups maybe even more! Hope this helps.

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.

We use it to make large batches for our local Shelter. It comes with a measuring cup for the rice and there are markings on the inside of the liner for how much water to add. I think you could make as little as five cups of cooked rice, though we use 10 lbs of raw rice at a time. Our rice is part of a large meal for about 60 homeless folks. We would love to buy one of the Zojirushi cookers, but the price is prohibitive. For much less money, this is a great rice cooker that is relatively foolproof if you carefully follow the enclosed instructions. Don't lose those! Honestly, it seems like overkill if you primarily want it for small amounts. Its also pretty large so we keep it in our garage.

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.

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.

Yes this is a 10 cup capacity...this would be the perfect pan for you..... I wouldn't have believed it but it help 10 cups of water and is a very nice size pan!

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.

8 cups of uncooked rice, cup come with the cooker, about 6 ounces, like most other cookers' cups. I bought the 4 cups and 8 cups, 4 cups for cooking rice, usually we cook 2 cups brown rice or 2 cups white rice with frog legs or chicken, 2 cups rice are good for me and my wife for 2 meals. We used the 8 cups for stew or porridge, we cooked stew before sleep and it cooked and kept warm like a slow cook overnight.

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.
