How many cups of rice can this cook at once?

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

According to the instruction booklet, you may cook a maximum of 4 raw cups of rice yielding 8 finished cups. I have never cooked more than 2 raw cups because I'm only cooking for one. It has worked perfectly for me.

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

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

1 cup of rice add 1 3/4 cups of water makes 4 servings which is about 2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked rice. For extra flavor, I add a little chicken or vegetable bouillon. This rice is delicious hot or cold.

I have cooked 4 cups of rice and it cooked perfectly even normally I cook with 3 cups.

6 cups mean cooked rice. And it takes 20 minutes to cook the rice and 15 minutes more to let it rest after cooking, regardless of quantity.

I believe the most it will handle is 3 cups uncooked rice at one time. That is the highest mark embossed on the inside of the cook pot indicating the amount water which must be added to the cooker. Another consideration is that there are times when the rice is cooking, that some water will "bubble up" and make its' way outside the lid. Too much more water would only exacerbate this problem.

It doesn't do a great job for 1 cup of rice...not enough rice to actually steam. one cup of rice covers the bottom of the pan. I think a minimum of 2 cups works best. If you only want to cook one cup of rice, I would suggest you cook it in a skillet or small pot with lid (bring to a boil, cover, turn heat down to low for about 10-15 min).

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!

I hope someone will answer this question! I also often only make 1 cup of dry rice and I would like to know if this cooker would do this well???? Thanks to anyone who can answer this question!

The max I have made is 4 of the provided cups raw rice. It serves a family meal of 4-6 with little/none left over. I have not actually measured the output. Sorry I cannot help further.

We put three cups of dry rice in a single tray. So when all three trays are used it steams quite a bit of food. We regularly cook for four adults and have others over in addition. This is quite large.

Which means that the maximum of dry rice is 3 cups, which will yield 6 cups cooked.By the way, the instructions are not all that important. I used 3 cups of brown and filled up the bowl with water to the #3. But after 45 minutes, the rice was soupy. So I cooked it an additional 8 minutes. The rice was perfect. Any moderately skilled cook will easily make such adjustments.Next time, less water. Less rice, too, with spinach and a dab of butter added near the end. The possibilities are endless...

The unit can make 8 quarts of rice. They recommend three to four cups of rice.

No. The cooker includes a 3/4 cup "measuring cup," and the instructions say it can cook up to 3 of these, which would be 2 1/4 cups of uncooked rice. They claim this will make 6 cups of cooked rice.

Yes, it makes at most 5 cups of rice which yields about 10 serving sizes of cooked rice.

Thanks for the inquiry. 60 cups of rice takes 45-50 minutes to cook. This is a great purchase. I actually have two of them. I operate my own catering business and use them quite often. I use them for Spanish rice and white rice. If you have anymore questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!

Hi Carmen, I'm not sure about 1 cup. I have a large family so I always cook a larger quantity and like having leftovers for lunch the next day. The more you cook the longer it takes. I see someone else says 20 minutes for 1 cup. I would guess that would be correct. We put the rice on first and then begin the rest of the meal. Bon appetite!!

Actually depeends on the quality of rice... but 2 cups of water for every once cup of rice is a good benchmark. Remember to wash the rice before actually cooking.
