How does this do with smaller amounts of rice - like 2 cups? i have a 1.5 cup cooker now, and really just need a little more rice...

It works well across the range from small to large amounts. I have learned that depending on preference you can add a little more or less rice for dryer or moister Rice.

Hey - I've actually never made more than two cups! It works very well. Was a great purchase!

We normally cook 2 cups at a time and it's perfect! Best purchase of last year. Always cooks the rice perfectly no matter the amount being cooked.

I have only cooked 1 cup (8 oz. by my measuring cup) of rice at a time and it works fine. They provide a measuring cup (but I use my own), on one side marked by quarters and the other side reading numerical values up to 160. I filled their cup and poured the contents into mine, and it came to 6 oz. according to my cup. I hope this helps!

I use this every week, I noticed when I did undercook the rice I didn't have enough water for the amount of rice I was cooking. Also I do not cook to the maximum I cook 2 cups at a time, I don't know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps you out.

Probably one cup and it will probably not boil and bubble to the top. My minimum has been two cups - never have cooked only one cup in any rice cooker.

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.

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

You can pretty much make any amount of rice. I won't make the complete 20 cups again. It did make a mess but was easy to clean. I have cooked so many different types of food in it. I love mine.

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!

1 cup is minimum. Suggest you buy a smaller cooker so it's less space in your kitchen. Keep the brand. It's good.

Hi Beryl, I have only used the rice cooker only once because I did not have a rice cup to measure with. When I did try to do an "estimate" it did not turn out well. But there should be instructions in the pamphlet that came with the cooker. In general 1 cup of rice with 1-1/2 cup of water. I have ordered from Amazon a rice cup so I will try again soon.

My rice cooker just arrived...couple of quick questions..where do I find the water to rice ratio..I see the water levels in the pot but cant find how much water to add for 1 or 2 cups of rice using their rice scoop..also anyone care to share how to make oatmeal instructions?

You can make as little as 2 cups. There are measuring lines on how much water or broth to use as well as a chart showing how much dry rice yields cooked rice.

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.

Yes, you can cook as much or as little rice as you want . Just make sure you cook with the right amount of water

No, inside it only goes up to 4. It is an 8 cup rice cooker, because once you cook 4 cups of rice it expands to the size of eight cups. Hope that helps :)
