Is this cooker large enough to cook one cup of dhal?

Yes it is. One cup is perfect for this cooker. I have cooked 1 cup of soaked rajma, 3 medium tomatoes and 1 medium onion with 3 cups water then after pressure cooking added chunked gourd and simmered without the lid on. Works just fine.

I have a smaller pressure cooker for meals I haven't used this for anything but canning because its so big.

No it is better to have more room then less.you will find out you can cook more meals in the larger cooker then in the smaller. The 6 qt is the perfect size. I know you will love it

That is correct, but that is plenty to cook, large pieces of fish, chicken, fries, hushpuppies, shrimp and much much more. It is a wonderful cooker that we use at least once a week.

I've tried only 3 cups mixed rice, after it was cook, it seems only have space for i more cup of rice! The cooker is good so far, I had this brand before and it is quite reliable!

I only have the skillet sized one, and have given three to relatives as presents. I love it too! It cooks about 3 times faster than my larger Fagor pressure cooker, and is absolutely perfect for cooking smaller quantities since it's just my husband and I. It's fine for entrees for four people, and soups and stews for six or so. Less water because it's smaller. I hope this helps.

We have had this cooker for about 2 years. It will cook as little as one cup of rice but we always cook at least two just because rice goes with everything and keeps well in the fridge. We have cooked 5 cups at once but it did take much longer than the smaller amount. The steamer works great, too.

Would that I could, but believe it or not, I have never used mine...NOT much of a cooker! Sorry.

Yes - cooks very well - my only issue is size. If you cook more than 2 eggs often, get the larger size.

Likely you could, but my experience with it is that it would cook very unevenly. It is the best I have found for brown rice at two cups rice. One cup it tends to burn. White rice the same thing at one or two cups. Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker, 6-Quart is what I use for things other than rice. I really like it.

Yes it is plenty for one person. When I am by myself, I can cook a whole meal in it. I love mine!

We use it to make large batches for our local Shelter. It comes with a measuring cup for the rice and there are markings on the inside of the liner for how much water to add. I think you could make as little as five cups of cooked rice, though we use 10 lbs of raw rice at a time. Our rice is part of a large meal for about 60 homeless folks. We would love to buy one of the Zojirushi cookers, but the price is prohibitive. For much less money, this is a great rice cooker that is relatively foolproof if you carefully follow the enclosed instructions. Don't lose those! Honestly, it seems like overkill if you primarily want it for small amounts. Its also pretty large so we keep it in our garage.

I also use it for various breakfast cereals - oatmeal, quinoa, steel cut oats, etc. 2 parts water to 1 part cereal has worked for me in every case. It's important for a cooker this size to use no more than a rounded 1/3 cup or less of cereal to avoid boil over. If you want to make cereal for more than one person get a larger cooker.

Yep. The cord is not too long making it easy to manage. The cooker does a greaat job and the oval size makes a nice fit on the counter. Easy to clean. Ceramic insert can go in the fridge as a container. Great little item.

The minimum that I have used is 1 cup, and it comes out perfectly. The rice cooker comes with a measuring cup. I have never made more than 3 cups of rice with this cooker, but I've never had the rice or water boil over.

There are only two of us and this cooker meets our needs totally. I think we have cooked a pound with plenty of room to spare.
