The scale goes down to 1/2 measuring cup, but we usually cook 1 measuring cup of white rice, which is equilivant to 3/4 US cup and weights ~0.5 Oz.

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.

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!

I wouldn't sweat not having the cup just go by the ratio 1 cup rice to 1 cup water, slightly more water for brown rice . I use 3:1 water to steel cut oats, oatmeal or grits. And don't go over the maximum capacity of the cooker. I use whatever cup is handy.

I think this cooker is pretty drying, so I use a 1:1.5 rice to water ratio, but it also depends on how you would like the rice to be done. I believe you have to rinse the rice, but not too much in case the nutrition might be washed off.

The 6 cups referred to is capacity for uncooked rice. Perhaps surprisingly, the cooked rice volume is only slightly more than this because this is a pressure cooker.

Do you mean to finish with 2 cups cooked rice or to begin with 2 cups raw rice? For 2 cups cooked rice, start with 1 cup raw rice. Be sure the rice is raw, not instant. Also be sure the rice has been rinsed to remove dust and excess starch. Add enough water so that it covers the rice by 1″.Put the lid on. Notice this rice cooker has air vents - this allows the steam to escape during cooking, which is good.Microwave for 9 minutes on high. Let it sit for 3 minutes undisturbed to finish cooking. Then it's done.

Brown rice cooks really well. And you measure it the same as white rice which makes it very easy. The smallest amount you can do is 2 cups.

You can cook as little as 1 cup in cooked rice but I wouldn't recommend any less than 2 cup because it browns on the bottom.

Perfect rice in 10 minutes. Brown rice 15 minutes on high pressure. There is a rice button that pressure cooks it on high pressure for 6 minutes (got to remember to push the "start" button!).1 cup white rice + 1.5 cups of water = perfect rice.

The way we do it is. Decide how much rice you want to cook. Let's say one cup uncooked. Put it in the pot...then look for the levels based on what you are cooking: brown etc. Fill up the cooker with water up to that line...For example, you have one cup of uncooked brown rice, put the brown rice in the cooker, then fill up the cooker with water to the line that says 1 cup under the brown rice section. Hope that is clear as mud. You will find the cooker is actually quite smart and forgiving. We've made nice rice every time. As for oatmeal, I'll check on that. I think the principle is the same, but I don't usually prepare it. The way we do it is. Decide how much rice you want to cook. Let's say one cup uncooked.

I love this rice cooker. It is small. The inside bowl is roughly 6.5 " diameter and 3.5 " high. I put in 1 cup brown rice which yields around 4 servings. I haven't tried to do other grains yet (such as quinoa, barley, etc.) but think those will work well too.

I don't believe there is a minimum amount. I have made as little as one cup of rice and it came out fine. I did, however, find that the amount of liquid recommended by Breville is too little. They recommend once cup of liquid per cup of rice. I found that it comes out much better with two cups of liquid to one cup of rice.

2 cups uncooked rice (Yield 4 cups cooked) takes 25-30 minutes for white and 90 for brown. Rinse rice well before cooking. This will remove the starch that causes the 'crust' on the bottom. I love this machine so much that I bought one for each of my children for their homes! Quick and easy!

If you are using long-grain rice, then the measurement usually is - one cup of rice and two cups of water. For brown rice - one cup of rice to about two and a half cups of water. Tip - spray the bottom of the pot with spray oil, so rice won't stick to the bottom while cooking.
