hi, I'm looking for the user's manual and found your question.
You can fix it using a piece of wood and screwing it with a Stainless Steel sheetmetal screw (like a #6x1/2"lg ss)
You can also painted if you like it.

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.

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

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 :-)

Good luck and please rate

The Japanese measuring cup size of 200 ml works fine for my Hitachi RD-5083 and likely will work for most rice cookers. The standard US cup is 237 ml.
