All of the rice cooker makers advise: a 2:1 ratio That is, 2 cups of water for every cup of rice.

Thanks again for using FixYa!

SOURCE: plastic cup lost, how much rice shall I measure?

I learned that the measure probably held 200 ml, and will experiment to confirm.

SOURCE: need basic directions

Hi,
There is a cup that comes with it that equals about 2/3 of a regular measuring cup...one of these or 2/3 cup for every cooked cup that you want to end up with...
The water...
There are lines on most of the cookers with numbers that represent the number of cups you are cooking...fill with water to that line....
If you are not sure, just fill with water a bit over the top of the rice...the amount is not that critical as the cooker senses when the water is cooked off and then shuts down...so a bit more will only make the cooking time a bit longer... no biggee...
Also it is best to rinse your rice before you actually leave the water in the pot that you are going to cook with...
remeber also if you have a brown rice setting that the cooking times are MUCH longer...like up to 90 minutes, so get it started in plenty of time or you will be eating rice for a snack before bed...

These things are really goof proof and make great rice very easily...

Since a steamer is a steamer, try the following suggestions:

White rice: 1 cup to 2 cups water for 45-50 minutes.
Brown rice: 1 cup to 1.5 cups water for 45-50 minutes.

Hope this helps!
