1 cup of rice to approx. 1 1/2 cups water, more water for sticky rice, less for dryer, also you can use chicken broth instead of water, gives it a good taste

need plastic cup for hitachi RD5083

It all depends on the type of cooking desired, if it needs to be dry or as a soup( gruel) againit depends on the type or variety of rice. So your experience will prove you right.
I think a ratio of one cup to three cups should be good. You can check and add if there is absorption before being cooked finally.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about rice cookers and the amount of rice and water needed...

No, this is not a readily available item. I would suggest purchasing a new rice cooker. You have definitely gotten your money's worth from this one. If you need any help finding a new one let me know.
Thank you and good luck,

I have the same problem with aluminum insert and mine made in China. I am really uncomfortable with it. Anybody knows what to do?

This is there website for home appliance's , it appears that I can't find the unit you posted by model #, but this is a start for you to find it.

Two cups of water for each cup of rice should get you nice results. If you choose to rinse your rice prior to cooking, it's recommended that you compensate by putting slightly less water in the rice cooker, to compensate for any absorption.

Hope this helps :-)

Here is your manual

Good luck and please rate

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.

Just ask here, they are specialized in finding english manuals for chinese import items. They helped me a lot with my SciPhone mobile.

there is a 4-8 and a 8-12

2 to 1 ratio 2 cups water to one cup rice some other rice have slightly different ratios but the standard is 2 : 1

need the model and make to give any useful instructions.
