8 cups of uncooked rice, cup come with the cooker, about 6 ounces, like most other cookers' cups. I bought the 4 cups and 8 cups, 4 cups for cooking rice, usually we cook 2 cups brown rice or 2 cups white rice with frog legs or chicken, 2 cups rice are good for me and my wife for 2 meals. We used the 8 cups for stew or porridge, we cooked stew before sleep and it cooked and kept warm like a slow cook overnight.

Usually it is about 14 rice cooker cup of uncooked rice... But depend if you are using regular rice or basmati... always better to try 2 cups of the rice you want to use and see how many cups it give you ....

It's hot enough for me for the first cup, but if I wait too long before going back for more, it has cooled off a bit. I don't mind nuking it for 30 sec in the microwave vs that nasty cooked & burnt taste of coffee left on a burner.

Sorry, I don't know how many cups there are in an 8 pd bag, but I can tell you that I've used about 4 cups so far and my bag still looks full. i use this to make my own magnesium oil. So once I'm finished, I just make a whole new batch, nothing to reuse.

One serving is 1/4 cup dry, that will double in size when cooked. I used 1 cup on my first cooking which says 4 servings, thats a lot of Rice and Quinoa when cooked. It is very good left over but will limit my next cooking to the 1/4 cup because I add lots of things to mine.

The individual packets in the big box are for 8 servings...each of those servings are 2/3 cup once prepared. My family eats larger serving sizes so even though there are only 3 of us left in our shrinking household, I still make one packet. It reheats fine--it will appear watery when leftover, just mix up the leftover potatoes and reheat. They are wonderful! The ingredients are only potatoes, butter, and sea salt plus the added milk. Hope that helps! Also, look for these at Costco around the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season--they are about half the price as online...

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.

Yes, I can cook 20 cups of uncooked rice. I wait till the "cook" light changes to "warm" light, I never really timed it, but about 15-20 minutes.

The 28 cup capacity refers to cooked rice. We use about 9 cups of raw rice to yield 27 cups of cooked rice

Raw. Never tried them cooked. Have to feed them in one or two at a time. I'm sure they could be cooked-though harder to handle, and messier.

I suspect that when they say "8 Cups" they mean 8 smallish coffee cups full. One pressing fills my large travel mug with some to spare. It's definitely on the smaller side, but without being able to keep it hot, I'd prefer that anyway

They say on the jar that it has not been processed, I would say it is not heated. I love it.

I would say a good three cups, maybe more. I cook mine until it is a little thicker.

30 cups uncooked means dry rice. This thing is good for a lot of other uses than just rice. You can make soup, stews, pasta, sauces. Its pretty durable. I use it in a program where we use it every day for something.

I have never tried one cup but typically cook 2-3 cups without a problem. Conversely, I have never tried to cook 8 cups with this.

Yes. I routinely cook one cup of brown rice, or 3/4 cup of steel cut oats. Keep in mind that a "cup" refers to the measuring cup supplied with the machine used for measuring the dry ingredients. It's not an eight ounce cup (it's more like 5-6 oz).

The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.
