What is the ratio of rice to water? Normally it is 2:1 (1 cup rice to 2 cups water). However, I read here that their scoop is 3/4 cup.

I use the "old" way of measuring the amount of water needed. Once the rice is cleaned/rinsed and ready to have the water added for cooking, I stick my finger in the water and see if the water covers to the first joint of my index finger. I guess that is a little less than an inch of water (7/8ths) the clears the rice. It has worked for me for decades.

I still cook rice 2:1. For brown rice I add a little more water, just as if it were on the stove.

you can easily cook one cup of rice (2 cups water) in this cooker. I love mine, use it for small amounts all the time, you may wish to stir midway through the cook so it does not stick. I love my cooker.

I measured it last night. The rice cup that comes with it is equivalent to 2/3 cup.

The bag indicates that you should use 8 cups of broth for 4 cups of rice. So the ratio of liquid to dry ingredients is two to one. Note that most recipes include 14-28 ounces of canned tomato...

Yes, there are little indicators on the side of the pan to help measure out your rice. We make 2 cups each time but you can make 1 cup just the same. Not sure the very minimum you can make but yes less than 3 cups can be done. We make jasmine rice with a little salt & butter in the mix and it is terrific. When we travel our little rice maker comes with, it's been great!

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

2 parts water 1 part rice is the standard ratio. It comes supplied with a cup and water level lines engraved so it is simple.

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.

I just use the white rice setting. If you want want softer rice add more water, harder rice add less. 2 : 2 for hard, 2:2.5 for softer rice(2 cups rice to 2.5 cups water ie.).

If you wash the rice before cooking, that amount of water will be fine otherwise 2 cups of water will do. It all depends how you want the rice to be mushy or dry.

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...

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.

It is usually 1 parts rice to 2 parts water. So for 10 cups of rice you use 5 cups of rice to 10 cups of water. Each back is not exactly this ratio so you adjust to each bag you open; example is adding 9.5 cups if the batch is too soggy.

yes I usually add another half a cup so let say 2 cups of rice will be 2 1/2 cups of water. hope that helps

To cook rice, you simply add water to uncook rice. You can look into the inner surface wall of the pot to find out how much water you need. For example, if you want to cook 2 cups of rice, put uncook rice in the pot and add water to the 2 cup level marked on the wall of the pot.
