How much rice does the 5.5 cup cooker actually make when cooked ??

Depending the kind of rice, the average of 1 cup uncooked rice = 2 to 3 cups of cooked rice.

FYI, that's 5.5 rice cooker cups, and they're a a little bit smaller than a standard measuring cup.

5.5 refers to the dry rice. Depending on the rice, it will roughly double, so you will have 11 or so 'cups' of cooked rice. NOTE: A rice cooker 'cup' is not an Imperial cup (8 oz.), it is 6 oz.

The ratio of uncooked rice per cup versus the final cooked amount is pretty standard whether on the stove top or in the rice cooker which is about 2:1 in volume.

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.

Hi Raffael, I know that the maximum capacity of this rice cooker is 4 cups (rice cooker cups-6 oz) of dry rice. This is what I usually cook for my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage boys). I've never measured the actual amount of cooked rice, though. But I can tell that I can feed my whole family at least 2 times with this amount of rice. So, I think 5.5 cups represents the maximum capacity of cooked rice that this cooker makes. Again, we are talking about the rice cooker cups-6 oz not regular cups-8 oz.Hope, it was helpful. :)

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!

Oh Definitely! We only cook small amounts. To update my review there is some sticking to bottom. The appliance comes with one of those measuring cups. For 2 people we use 1.5 to 2 scoops of rice. Hope that helps!

They mean 5.5 cups of (uncooked) rice. They just mixed up the word placement.

Hello, I haven't tried the whole 5.5 cups. I mostly just make 3 cups of rice with the provided cup and it is enough for two of us just fine. Thanks!

Just looking at the inside since I use two cups water to one cup rice - I would surmise that it only takes five cups of dry rice. Just my opinion.

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.

1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water. cook for 20 minutes, let sit for 5 minutes, fluff with a fork.

5 cups of rice is an awful lot. Consider that 1/2 cup is a very generous serving along side a main dish. If you need more than 10-12 servings of rice then you might consider the 10 cup model. And yes, the 10 cup can cook rice for 2 the same as the 5 cup model.

It depends what size the rice is once it is cooked. I use this pot for everything and I love it!

10 cup dry rice to use but have not cooked that amount in this cooker yet. It's measured with small plastic cups ( which are small) not the regular cup measurement.

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!

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 cooker comes with it's own measuring cups. There are two, one for regular rice and another for gaba rice. I've cooked as little as one measuring cup of rice that produced about 2 cups of cooked rice. The cooker did a great job after I fixed the "operator errors". LOL

Depend how much rice that you want to cook ... 20 cups of rice that will take about 25 minutes.

Hi, I've only cooked brown rice, 5 cups at a time, and it takes 35-45 minutes.

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.
