How many cups of uncooked rice can this hold?

Doesn't matter, horrible product. The steam from the whole on top spewed sticky steam all over the counter top and onto the body of the steamer itself. I HIGHLY recommend the Rival Rice Cooker. It's red, smaller, and the steam just goes straight up. Unless your making rice for a crowd, the Rival is perfect, making about six cups (that's an estimate, I usually only make two cooked cups at a time). Hope this helps.

They mean 5.5 cups of (uncooked) rice. They just mixed up the word placement.

I guess it can hold at about 5 cups of rice. You don't wan to put too many cups otherwise you do not have enough space to wash the rice.

It will hold about 6 cups of rice (I just tried it and it it easily held 4 cups, but I ran out of rice!)It's larger than it looks in the picture. Would hold a large head of lettuce or a soccer ball (but not a basketball) if that helps.

I have only tried a minimum of two cups of uncooked rice...turned out excellent for both brown and white rice

3 uncooked becomes 6 cups cooked rice is maximum. We use ours for 6 cups cooked all the time. Tip. Once finished cooking and auto goes to warm, try to put rice out into covers dish not too long after. If sits on warm too long can overcook rice at bottom on cooker.

5.5 refers to the dry rice. Depending on the rice, it will roughly double, so you will have 11 or so 'cups' of cooked rice. NOTE: A rice cooker 'cup' is not an Imperial cup (8 oz.), it is 6 oz.

If you are using long-grain rice, then the measurement usually is - one cup of rice and two cups of water. For brown rice - one cup of rice to about two and a half cups of water. Tip - spray the bottom of the pot with spray oil, so rice won't stick to the bottom while cooking.

In the owners manual it says "you should use a measuring cup to determine the amount of rice to be cooked. The measuring cup we are referring to is the one that is supplied with the rice cooker. The cup that is supplied is about 2/3 the size of a standard US measuring cup." The rice cooker will cook 8 of these cups of rice - which I measured out to equal approximately 5 and 2/3 standard US measuring cups of rice. The manual also recommends cooking rice with the steamer in place even if you are not steaming anything to help prevent the possibility of boil over - from my experience, this is a very good idea.

Just looking at the inside since I use two cups water to one cup rice - I would surmise that it only takes five cups of dry rice. Just my opinion.

The max is four cups of dry rice. That fills it to the top with cooked rice.

I believe the most it will handle is 3 cups uncooked rice at one time. That is the highest mark embossed on the inside of the cook pot indicating the amount water which must be added to the cooker. Another consideration is that there are times when the rice is cooking, that some water will "bubble up" and make its' way outside the lid. Too much more water would only exacerbate this problem.

cooked rice. I make 3-4 dry cups which fills it halfway. I think it would handle 6 cups dry

The maximum is 3 cups raw which would come out to 6 cups cooked according to directions. Still love my perfect rice cooker!!

It's 3.3 cups of uncooked rice, as it's name tells you. But those are rice cooker cups ... about 6 oz.

CC, 6 cups of rice is "cooked" rice. It will take approximately 25 mins. to cook 4 cups of "uncooked" rice. LMM. This product is well worth the cost. Makes perfect rice every time for me. You will need twice as much time if you use brown rice. Keep that in mind. :-)

I have cooked as few as 4 "cups" (the cup that they give you with the unit) which makes sizable portions for 2 people or regular servings for 3 or 4 people. Honestly, I like to make a minimum of 6 cups and just put the extra into the fridge or freezer for later use. Chilled rice is best for making fried rice and easy to reheat for other uses.
