Sheila, I have found it similar to regular stove top rice. Two parts water to one part rice. The sticky rice says 1 cup of rice to 1.75 cups of water. I find two cups is better. You can try and see which you like better. I am in Thailand right now for a month. The sticky rice is soaked for 8 hours or overnight. I have never done that in America and it is still great rice. When you put the rice and water in your cooker, make sure to stir it and spread it evenly in the water. Any uneven high spot will dry out. I use my cooker three times a week for over a year now. Mostly sticky rice that I buy from Thailand on Amazon. Glutonous Rice. You should be ready to go. Ask on. Brandin Sheila, I have found it similar to regular stove top rice.

Soak the rice in enough water to cover it for a couple of hours or overnight. Drain it and then put it in your steamer, fill the bottom of the steamer with water but not touching the rice. Steam it for at least 20 minutes, turning the rice occasionally so that it all cooks evenly. Steam until the rice is translucent but still firm. You can taste a bit to make sure it is soft and chewy. It shouldn't be soggy. And that's it! The amount of water doesn't matter as it is not cooking in the water.

I don't use a rice cooker. I use the micro and put 1C of rice in a micro safe bowl and cover it with water (about an inch) let it sit about 45 min. Put it undrained in the micro for 3 min increments stirring from bottom to top after each 3 min. It usually takes mine about (?) 9 min.

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.

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.

Hi. I bought this rice cooker a couple years ago but had to return it because it's defective after using it once. You have to contact the seller in order for you to get an answer.

If you find out where this rice cooker is from please let us know. As for brown rice, I usually put more water (ex. 2cups rice, 4 1/2cups water) it turns out fine.

I also need an answer to this question. I have read recipes for this cooker on an external site that call for 3/4 cup of brown rice. these recipes are for 3 to 4 people.

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.

You can cook rice in the steamer. You need to soak the rice a few hours first. I don't have the exact recipe measurement but you probably need 3 parts water to 1 part rice. Steam for half an hour first. If it is not thoroughly cooked, steamed a little longer. As for brown rice be prepared to double the cooking time. Hope that helps.

I love this rice Cooker. I think it depends on the kind of rice you use. Some rice needs more water and said some don't. So for instant the jasmine rices don't require much water.

My rice cooker does up to 5 cups, so that's as high as I've loaded at one time. If you need to made more, no big deal. Just dump the cup into your cooker, and load it up again.

I cook it in chicken stock instead of water, and found near the end I needed to add more water. I just cook mine in a heavy 2 qt. pot with a tight fitting lid and it does fine. Never tried a "rice-cooker" just never saw the need for one. Love this rice, melt a little white cheese over the top of a serving and you have a great lunch!! Yummmmm

I was asked to answer your question as a reviewer. The steamer bowl is optional. I don't even use it to cook the rice. I have used it with just water in the rice cooker part and steamed veggies. Get out your info that came in the box and contact Black & Decker directly if you need a replacement steamer bowl. You don't even need it to just cook rice tho.

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.

rinse rice, steam cook or boil covered if need be, use rice hot best. A rice cooker heats water and u add rice just like a pot and cover. you may need to adjust water amounts to ur liking...

the trick here is to use 25% less water in the bowl then u normally do. The steamer will add the rest. The direction say to add all the water u need as u would normally boil rice, but I found that's wrong. U end up with a swamp. Rice stew. Add 25% less water and it comes out great!

Hi, I love to cook my rice in the rice cooker however I usually add just a lil more water and I make at least 2-3 servings. Making one serving usually burns or drys out quickly. Hope this helps!
