I lost the plastic measuring cup that came with my Rival RC100 rice cooker, the markings on the inside of it tell's me the water amount I just need to know how much rice the cup held.

Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you figure out about using a rice cooker...

Asians dont need the ratio of water to rice, ....

Try this, put water on the rice, level the top of the rice, dip ur mid finger until it touches the top of the rice, look at the level of the water and it should be in the level of ur FiRST LiNE of ur finger!
Ur ready to cook!

i found out if you drizzle some olive oil in the bottom before you add your rice and water or broth this helps alot just a nice color no burning good luck angia in florida

Hi,
There is a sensor that regulates how hot the cooker gets and shuts it down to the warm setting when it senses that the heat is too high...meaning that all the water has cooked off....my guess is that the sensor failed and as far as I know it is not replaceable.

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

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

need to fill it with water until about 2" from the inner line of the unit.

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

here is the website that you can get the manual for your cooker... the rc101 is the same as the rc100. when that page comes up under the picture there will be manual. click on that and it will pull up in adobe reader.

Measuring cup.

Done!

The measuring cup for my Rival RC100 holds 6 oz (volume of water to the top rim). The markings on the inside of the pot (1 through 5) seem to hold about 12 oz each.
(that is: the 1 line holds 12.2 oz, the 5 line held 57 ounces of water)
close enough to the standard 2 to 1 water to rice ratio.
I put in about 1.7X as much water (by volume) as brown rice, and it comes out very good for me. (1 cup rice to 1 3/4cup water).
