I usually use 1 cup of white or brown rice and 1.2 or 2 cups of water respectively. It also cooks quinoa perfectly, and wild rice, and gourmet rice blends, and red rice, and sushi rice. It has never once produced rice that was not perfect in many, many years.

I've cooked 2.5 cups (US) of dry rice, and it came out fine. However, with this much rice, there was some spatter and mess.My rice comes out best, with next to no clean-up, when I cook 1.25 cups (US) of dry rice, and use 1.5 cups of water. I use the quick-cook setting. The rice mix I use is 1/2 cup of Sultan Basmati Rice, 1/4 cup of black rice, 1/4 cup of lentils, and 1/4 cup of quinoa. In other rice-cookers, I used 1.75 cups of water. However, this cooker seems to use the water more efficiently, so I now use 1.5 cups of water. Note that I prefer fluffy rice to clumped rice. If you prefer clumping, then use the additional liquid.

30 cups uncooked rice is the amount of rice you begin with. After adding water and cooking the 30 cups, the rice expands/provides 60 cups of perfectly edible rice.

Plain rice? Why would you buy this device to make plain rice? Maybe 15 minutes....but what a waste! Make a nice risotto instead! BTW, contrary to what "disappointed shopper" stated, I am very happy with this device and it makes really great risotto!

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 ....

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 have cooked 1 cup of rice as the smallest quantity. I normally use 1 to 1 with my liquid (usually chicken, beef, vegetable or mushroom stock). Give it a try at 3/4 but use 1 cup of your stock and watch it carefully the first time. I bet it works just fine. Good luck!

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!

Hello David. I'm sorry I can't help because I haven't made regular rice yet. I Can tell you this. I've used to make Rice & Peas and a lot goes in it. 4 cups Rice, cocnut milk, black beans, garlic& onion, seasonings & water. My Meals take about 3-4 hrs to cook & the last 40 minutes I start rice & it's ready at the end. I would guess 15-20 minutes for reg rice. I love this thing & I've had many over the yrs. I recommend highly.

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!

If you cook plain rice then 1cup rice add 2 cups of water. If you add any fresh vegetables (carrots,beans etc) then add littlebit more like 1/2 cup for veg. to cook. Also don't cook on high as the water absorbs very fast and not enough water for rice to cook.

Thanks for the inquiry. 60 cups of rice takes 45-50 minutes to cook. This is a great purchase. I actually have two of them. I operate my own catering business and use them quite often. I use them for Spanish rice and white rice. If you have anymore questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!

Sheila, I have found it similar to regular stove top rice. Two parts water to one part rice. The sticky rice says 1 cup of rice to 1.75 cups of water. I find two cups is better. You can try and see which you like better. I am in Thailand right now for a month. The sticky rice is soaked for 8 hours or overnight. I have never done that in America and it is still great rice. When you put the rice and water in your cooker, make sure to stir it and spread it evenly in the water. Any uneven high spot will dry out. I use my cooker three times a week for over a year now. Mostly sticky rice that I buy from Thailand on Amazon. Glutonous Rice. You should be ready to go. Ask on. Brandin Sheila, I have found it similar to regular stove top rice.

gave mine as a gift..generally speaking two cups of water to a cup of rice is the best solution so to play it safe limit it to 2 1/2 cups of rice x5 water enough for most families firstuse 8 oz cup = rice x2w cook that amount see result inside cooker go from there press button does all for you from there.
