Thank you so much for explaining the ratio of uncooked rice in the special rice measuring cup provided with the rice cooker to the water line inside the cooking pot. This isn't mentioned at all in the manual that came with my Toshiba rice cooker (TRSH01).
I got really worried when you mentioned water to rice ratios because I see plenty of other videos trying to use the same stovetop ratios for the rice cooker. I was relieved to basically hear you say "trust the engineers who built the darn thing" by explaining the lines
Yes! Each rice cooker has its own dimensions so trusting the lines is the best option. It's not a 1:1 ratio or 2:1 like the rice box (a little less actually). thank you for your kind comment!
Rice can be tricky; I am testing a low GI, white rice from India, but sold anywhere in US. As with any white rice that I cooked before I always use 1 portion of rice to 2 of water. I noticed the rice came out a little hard. Next batch I added 0.25% more water. 300 grams of rice to 675 grams of water. It came out okay but I could add more water. Um more batch of 1 to 2.5. 300 grams of rice to 750 grams of water. I ended up with one portion of rice to 3.75 of water. Here is the final recipe. 300 g of rice to 1125 of water, 23 g of sazón seasoning and 40 ml of vegetable oil. Everything weighed in a precise scale, when I wash the rice, it gets heavier, so I deduct the water. For 300 grs of rice after washed it weighs about 350. I take off 50 grs from 1125. This rice comes out fluffy and not sticky. I remove the rice from the rice cooker and let it cool off then store it in small plastic containers. Dont let it cool off in the rice cooker because it will stick together. The rice is low GI and using more water. I assume that I am eating less carbs for each gram of cooked rice since I am diabetic. India rice can be found on Amazon or India groceries stores. My next test will be with regular white rice and add more water to find out if it won't get sticky.
Have you look into the low carb rice cookers that are available now. I recently got the INSTANT rice cooker and it works very well with 40% less carbs(advertised)
I still don’t understand the cups-to-people ratio. I saw a rice cooker I’m thinking of buying. The description online says it’s a 4-cup rice cooker. Does that mean you pour in 4 cups or you end up with 4 cups? How many portions does it serve?
Hi. I am new to rice cookers too. I was given an old one. The idea is you don't need to think about ratios. You use the rice cup, 180 ml not 240 ml, for the rice. And the numbers on the inside for how much water to put. I put in 2 cups of rice , so I fill the water to the number 2. Hope this helps.
Instructions can be hard to understand. My experience is that you have to experiment with rice cookers until you figure out how yours makes the tastiest rice.

I'm so glad you found the video helpful!
I love rice, but haven't done it in a rice cooker yet. Looks like I need to get one!

Great tests. The ratios can be a challenge for sure.

Thank you!
You're welcome! 😊
That small cup that comes with cooker is 6oz instead of standard 8oz cup, I don't use it at all - just add 24oz of rice for 4 cup water line
that rice cooker cup is 6oz but also measured to the rice cooker lines.
Thank you
How many ml/grams does that cup hold?

I depends on the rice cooker, but it usually mean you'll end up with 4 cups of cooked rice.
Thanks Laura Mam for teach me how to use the rice cooker lot of love from Pakistan, ♥️♥️♥️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for watching!
How many minutes did that rice take?
My rice cooker takes about 45. Time varies by how much you're cooking and the type of rice cooker.
So what's the ratio? 2 to one water to rice? 3 to 1? I
for long-grain white rice is 1 cup rice and 1 3/4 cups water (1.75)

I know 😂😂
I swear the instructions say to use the scoop that came with the cooker for the rice then on the next page it says use a regular measuring cup.

Not every cooker has lines
Exactly why I created a whole chart with ratios in the post. :)
black eyes? whoa
Yes. My eyes are very dark brown
@@MOMables beautiful
Looks really sticky
rice cooker rice is a little sticker -what i personally love about it. you can add a little extra water to change the texture if you like.
