We are renting a condo and there is no measuring cup for the rice. How much rice should we put in and what water level in the pot? ARC-733G with a glass top.

Not sure which type of Tefal rice cooker you have received.
You may want to go to the Tefal website and pick the manual for the one that could be your model.

Though there is not much to it if you are cooking rice. Take the pot out and wash it as any metal utensil. Put as many cups of rice you want to cook in a separate bowl using the measure that would have come with it. Otherwise take a 150ml measure. Wash it the rice thoroughly with water and drop it into the pot. Fill water to the level of number of the cups you have put in. Wipe the pot dry from outside and place in the cooker jacket. Put lid on. Turn the power on and press the Cook button. Once rice is cooked it will switch to keep warm and leave it there for about 5 minutes before you use the cooked rice.

I suggest that after you wash the rice on your rice cooker bowl level it and measure the height of your rice using your hand finger ( middle finger ) then that is also the water you need. but put the water slowly to maintain the level of the rice because this is also you guide to level it. I mean. 1. wash your rice. 2. level it ( the rice ) inside the bowl of rice cooker and measure the height of your rice by using your hand finger ( the middle finger ) and remember it. 3.put the water slowly, and your hand finger should be from the top of your rice to measure the height of your water. I hope you understand me!\ just try it because this is the way that how to cook the rice even any kind of bowl.

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...

Water to rice ratio is usually the same regardless if you have a rice maker, or are cooking it in a pot on the stove. 2 parts water to 1 part rice works everytime.

1 cup of rice in the rival cup does NOT equal 1 cup of rice in a regular measuring cup. I lost mine too and I've found that using 3/4 cup of a regular measuring cup works with the lines on the inside of the pot

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

You can download the manual. The standard rice measuring cup is 180ml (one cup in the US is approximately 240ml).

The Hitachi has notches on the inside of the pot. You put your rice in the pot and than start adding water until your water level reaches the notch labeled 7. Remember that the rice has to be inside the pot when you start adding water so that you will have the correct amount of water for the rice you're cooking. It doesn't work the other way around. Rice in pot than add water. But usually the average cup that comes with these rice cookers only holds 3/4 of a cup when you fill them to the top.

On this rice cooker to make a perfect pot without overboiling....Use 2 cups of rice and 4 cups of water, When it starts to boil life the lid ONCE and stir and then put the lid back on pressing down to make a seal, The water should not boil over if you follow these instructions, I just made a pot :).....Oh and use the same measuring cup for the rice and the water, Just remeber....One cup of rice = two cups of water!
