I just bought this and I find the direction book very confusing. Is it 1 cup of water per cup of white rice...?

For instance, 3 cups (accompanied with the cooker) of rice need water level 3 on the back of the cooker. You will find the number printed on the back of the rice cooker. Therefore, the number of cups of rice will have the same level of water in the cooker. Hope my explanation help you well.

If you're cooking one rice cooker cup of rice (which is 1 gou, or about 180ml... about 3/4 cup in standard cooking measure), then you add the rice to the cooker's pot and then fill the pot with water until the water line reaches the first marking (the line below the "2" marking) on the white rice scale that's on the side of the cooker's pot. You don't need to pre-measure the water, just add rice and fill to the appropriate marking on the side of the pot.

The unit comes with a measuring cup. Fill this cup with rice and add water or chicken stock to the level marked 1 on the inside of bowl.

I've never used a rice cooker, but I use about 2-2 1/2 cups water for every cup of brown rice for cooking it on the stove top. Maybe you can convert this to what you need for your rice cooker.

Standard procedure of cooking rice is to take 1 cup of rice with 1.75-2 cups of water and soak it for 15 minutes before starting the cooker. The cooker automatically stops after cooking or it will switch to 'keep warm mode".

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.

Your package of rice will have the directions, but I have always measured with my finger; water line to my middle knuckle/2nd knuckle, with the bottom tip of my finger touching the rice in the pot. It comes out sticky rice, but that's how I like it.

The amount of water depends on the type of rice. Example: 1 cup (8 oz) of brown rice needs 2 cups water, 1 cup of jasmine usually needs 1.5 cups of water. How much water you need to add isnusually stated on the packaging.

I prefer rice to water=1:2, cause I like softer rice. Less water harder rice. I rinse the rice first.

Are you sure you didn't put into much water? Like 1/2 cup of rice to 1 cup of water. Is a little steam catcher on the side that needs to be emptied by pinching and pulling it off each time that you use it. If it fills up it might go out the top. I hope that helps.

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.

no, I use only two of the small cups and I don't over fill with water. I put in 4 small cups for white rice and 5 small cups of water for brown and I have not problems. It is the best ever. :)

The machine comes with a measuring cup which is labeled 3/4 cup. The capacity is nine of these which is just over seven cups. You also need to thoroughly wash and rinse your rice and soak it in cold water for at least eight (8) hours, then let the rice drain for twenty minutes. Place one cup of cold water to operate. You'll probably have to experiment a couple times to get your procedure down pat. Note the operating instructions are in Japanese, so it may be a good idea to find someone who reads the language help you translate the procedures. Once you've got it right, you'll be thrilled with the results. My wife is Japanese so it was a piece of cake, but explaining to me and making me understand was really difficult. One more point. When we ordered ours we were told it would take at least eight weeks for delivery. They had an 1-800 number and I called it. I was connected with an American who works for the company in Japan. He explained that the shipment would be via surface mail, as on a ship, hence to long delivery time. It was delivered in less than a week by UPS. Good luck.

Yes, but if you are using short grain rice, use 1 & 1/2 cups water. Long grain rice will work with the 1 & 3/4 cups water.

The minimum that I have used is 1 cup, and it comes out perfectly. The rice cooker comes with a measuring cup. I have never made more than 3 cups of rice with this cooker, but I've never had the rice or water boil over.

The directions call for 1 tsp of vegetable base to 1 cup of water. Hope that helps.

I don't know the volume of the original cup but an easy method to make great white rice (Jasmine) is one standard cup of rice and two cups of water. Keep the ratio of rice to water the same for any amount you want. I bought a 1 cup plastic measuring cup and just leave it in the bin with the rice. If you really want to have the original cup then look on aroma.com. You can buy individual components there. Good luck...

I use it to steam rice all the time, brown rice mostly. It comes with a basket (see the photo--that white basket inside of the steamer that is it). 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water inside the basket. For brown rice, it is 50 minutes. I imagine it's a bit less for white rice. I followed the booklet that came with the steamer. Good luck!
