How many cups of rice does this cook? I am hoping that this equivalent to the 6-cup version except it has the extra collander to steam vegetables?

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).

The provided instructions state this can cook up to 3 3/4 white rice yielding 8 cups cooked. Hope that helps. I've used mine several times a week since getting it and love it!

용량을 정확히는 모르겠으나 4-6명 한 가족 식사 준비에는 충분하고요, 밥이 정말 맛있게 지어져서 아주 만족하고 있습니다. 흰밥, 검은콩밥, 잡곡, 김밥용 밥 등등버튼 하나로 쉽게 만들 수 있어요.I m not sure of the capacity, I think 10 cups, but it's totally enough for a family of 4-6, and the cooking quality is great. We are really satisfied with this rice cooker. For the white rice, black bean rice, mixed rice, Kimbop rice etc., it is really simple to cook. 용량을 정확히는 모르겠으나 4-6명 한 가족 식사 준비에는 충분하고요, 밥이 정말 맛있게 지어져서 아주 만족하고 있습니다. 흰밥, 검은콩밥, 잡곡, 김밥용 밥 등등버튼 하나로 쉽게... » Read More 용량을 정확히는 모르겠으나 4-6명 한 가족 식사 준비에는 충분하고요, 밥이 정말 맛있게 지어져서 아주 만족하고 있습니다. 흰밥, 검은콩밥, 잡곡, 김밥용 밥 등등버튼 하나로 쉽게 만들 수 있어요.I m not sure of the capacity, I think 10 cups, but it's totally enough for a family of 4-6, and the cooking quality is great.

The smallest amount if rice I've cooked was 5 cups of Japanese Sweet Rice. The rice cooker really know how to make the best texture & flavor when using the correct type of rice & setting. It's truly amaizing!

I know it's been a long time since you've posted this, but I'd like to know if you mean regular cups, or the rice cooker cups? Cause I just learned today that those measurements are different. (Explains why my rice was crunchier than usual the other night when I was too lazy to wash the rice cooker cup.)I was thinking of setting this up to try this weekend, and you're the first one to post what seems to be a reliable recipe.

3 uncooked becomes 6 cups cooked rice is maximum. We use ours for 6 cups cooked all the time. Tip. Once finished cooking and auto goes to warm, try to put rice out into covers dish not too long after. If sits on warm too long can overcook rice at bottom on cooker.

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 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!

Hi Maryjean,Yes it will cook 2 cups of rice, but one cup of water for each cup of rice should be fine. It depends mostly on what you are cooking inside, but our unit comes with a rice preset that will assist you. You also should never put water underneath the pot; everything that you need to cook, including water should stay inside the pressure cooker pot. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.Thanks,GoWISE USA

I haven't cooked 5.5 cups rice so far. I usually cook 1.5 cup. It will make 3-4 bowls (Japanese / Chinese bowl) of cooked rice. I hope u get some ideas about it.

3 measures of the cup that comes with the rice cooker. I have no idea what would happen if you tried to cook more than that but the water and rice have to co somewhere so I am thinking you would create a bit of a mess. I have a larger 5 cup Zojurushi for larger amounts and use this model for myself or an extra person at the most.

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.

The 6 cups referred to is capacity for uncooked rice. Perhaps surprisingly, the cooked rice volume is only slightly more than this because this is a pressure cooker.

If you cook plain rice then 1cup rice add 2 cups of water. If you add any fresh vegetables (carrots,beans etc) then add littlebit more like 1/2 cup for veg. to cook. Also don't cook on high as the water absorbs very fast and not enough water for rice to cook.

One is for 10 cups max cooked rice. the other 4 cups of cooked rice. I have the 10 cups and would pick again. I can then make extra for dishes using cooked rice as in stir fry. One cooking, two meals (or more). This is a great machine. Have been using one for several years.

In the owners manual it says "you should use a measuring cup to determine the amount of rice to be cooked. The measuring cup we are referring to is the one that is supplied with the rice cooker. The cup that is supplied is about 2/3 the size of a standard US measuring cup." The rice cooker will cook 8 of these cups of rice - which I measured out to equal approximately 5 and 2/3 standard US measuring cups of rice. The manual also recommends cooking rice with the steamer in place even if you are not steaming anything to help prevent the possibility of boil over - from my experience, this is a very good idea.

CC, 6 cups of rice is "cooked" rice. It will take approximately 25 mins. to cook 4 cups of "uncooked" rice. LMM. This product is well worth the cost. Makes perfect rice every time for me. You will need twice as much time if you use brown rice. Keep that in mind. :-)
