Your package of rice will have the directions, but I have always measured with my finger; water line to my middle knuckle/2nd knuckle, with the bottom tip of my finger touching the rice in the pot. It comes out sticky rice, but that's how I like it.

Actually depeends on the quality of rice... but 2 cups of water for every once cup of rice is a good benchmark. Remember to wash the rice before actually cooking.

the water should be above the rice level, may be by half-inches or little more. If you have more rice, add more water, may be one inches above the rice level and remove the upper net basket. try once-twice and you will get to know!!

Mine came with a little plastic cup and there are little notches on the inside of the cooker but since measurements can vary by rice, I just measure like I would in a regular pot which is 2-1 water to rice for white and a quarter cup extra water for brown (2 1/4 water to 1 cup brown)

1 cup of uncooked rice to 1 1/2 cup of water. 18-20 minutes at 50% setting in microwave.

As long as you mix everything well, you should be ok. If you put too much water in the rice, it tastes bad.

1 cup rice plus salt -1 and a half cups water, bring rice salt and water to boil, boil till almost half water is gone or about 5 minutes, pop cover on tight, turn down flame low low and cook for 10-15 minutes more till rice is sticking to bottom. Turn off heat leave cover on 10 minutes, rice is ready. Nice fluffy and dry.

Also, along with putting 4 little cups of water for 2 cups white rice, or 5 cups water for 2 little cups brown rice, I add a tablespoon of olive oil--I mix it in with the rice before adding water. I was thinking that might help it not leak--also I think it tastes better. :)

If you cook plain rice then 1cup rice add 2 cups of water. If you add any fresh vegetables (carrots,beans etc) then add littlebit more like 1/2 cup for veg. to cook. Also don't cook on high as the water absorbs very fast and not enough water for rice to cook.

8 cups dry rice will be better, 10 may overflow. It depends on type of rice. 10 cups Basmathi rice can be cooked.

The water level should be about one inch above the surface of the rice. Put your hand flat on the surface of the rice and the water level should be just a little bit above your hand.

White Rice is about 40-45 minutes I believe. Brown is about 90-95 the unit automatically tells you when the rice is done and it is perfect every time as long as you use decent rice. if you use cheap Walmart rice it may end up being al dente style as it soaks up more water then most other rice.

The directions call for 1 tsp of vegetable base to 1 cup of water. Hope that helps.

Very nicely if you stick with a ratio of 2 - 3 cups water to 1 cup rice (depending on how firm or soft you like it). We add a little olive oil and salt at a minimum - seems to cook better, and sometimes substitute veg broth for some of the water for flavor.

If you find out where this rice cooker is from please let us know. As for brown rice, I usually put more water (ex. 2cups rice, 4 1/2cups water) it turns out fine.

I just use the white rice setting. If you want want softer rice add more water, harder rice add less. 2 : 2 for hard, 2:2.5 for softer rice(2 cups rice to 2.5 cups water ie.).

Standard procedure of cooking rice is to take 1 cup of rice with 1.75-2 cups of water and soak it for 15 minutes before starting the cooker. The cooker automatically stops after cooking or it will switch to 'keep warm mode".

Two cups of rice is what is recommended as the minimum. Like the others I prefer to cook up more for use during the week, saves a lot of time.

According to the manual, the maximum is 6 cups (for 6 people) of white rice, and 4 cups of brown rice. For other cooking purpose, like making soup, the maxiumum volume is 1.08 liters. I never bother to measure, just pour in about 3/4 of an inch water above the the rice, and the rice (whatever kind) always ends up moist and done.

I just add a little extra water for brown rice. I can't remember for sure if I got that from the instructions, but I think so.
