Does this make 10 cups of cooked rice, or can you put in 10 cups of DRY rice?

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.

It makes 10 cups of cooked rice and does a wonderful job as long as you follow the easy directions!

With rice cookers, a "cup" is 6 ounces of dry rice and they usually come with a 6 ounce "cup" measure. So a 6-cup machine would use up to 36 ounces of dry rice. Hope this helps!

The instructions state 2 cups of dry white rice (meaning 4 cooked cups) take 30-35 minutes and brown rice takes 100-105 minutes. We cook brown rice more often and it only takes about 75 minutes, but the white rice is fairly accurate.

The maximum is 3 cups raw which would come out to 6 cups cooked according to directions. Still love my perfect rice cooker!!

No it is not big enough to accommodate that much uncooked rice. I estimate about 4 cups of uncooked rice.

I use parboiled rice...I put in two cups of dry rice to five cups of water and then I let it sit for around fifteen minutes after it is done.

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.

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 have cooked dry lentils very successfully. Just used the same amount of water that white rice used, and used the "White Rice" button. I also cooked half brown rice and half lentils together with the "Brown Rice" setting.

Two cups of rice is what is recommended as the minimum. Like the others I prefer to cook up more for use during the week, saves a lot of time.

We have the 5 cup model and rarely cook more than one cup also. One cup is the minimum for both white and brown rice.

It is usually 1 parts rice to 2 parts water. So for 10 cups of rice you use 5 cups of rice to 10 cups of water. Each back is not exactly this ratio so you adjust to each bag you open; example is adding 9.5 cups if the batch is too soggy.

Yes one cup of rice can be cooked - be certain to use the exact amount of water measured on the scale inside the cook pot. Use the measuring cup provided with the cooker for the rice. I prefer to cook 2 cups of rice and allow the rice cooker to hold today's uneaten on warm for consumption tomorrow. It's still really good rice.

I use this every week, I noticed when I did undercook the rice I didn't have enough water for the amount of rice I was cooking. Also I do not cook to the maximum I cook 2 cups at a time, I don't know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps you out.

The smallest amount I cooked was 1 rice measuring cup of rice which is about 3/4 regular cup of rice, and it turned out fine. But if I use keep-warm feature after cooked, I prefer cooking more than 2 measuring cups.

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.

We purchased a 10 cup. Sometimes I cook 2-3 cups as well.Infact the 10 cup cooker is not that big if you are worried about the size. If you have guests at home very often and if you cook rice very often, go ahead and buy a 10 cup.It's certainly a good investment.
