While almost all rice cookers come with a measuring cup, some have markings on the cooking pot so you always know how much rice and water to add, no matter the type of rice and how much you start with. Keep in mind that rice cooker cups are typically smaller than your standard measuring cup. They usually measure 3/4 cup, which doesn’t make a difference when it comes to ratios, but should be taken into account when following a standard recipe. How do I cook 2 cups of rice in a rice cooker? Always store raw rice in a cool, dark area. Avoid direct sunlight on the rice.

How we tested

This is the ultimate guide on how to cook rice. In this guide, you will find detailed information on how to cook short grain, medium grain, long grain, and jasmine rice in a rice cooker, on the stove top, or in an Instant Pot. I also included the rice-water ratios and a cooking time chart, plus notes on how to adjust the rice texture, storage, and more! For each recipe, I used 1 cup of rice to test. The cup here is the US standard cup, which is 240ml. Note, it is not the rice cup (that usually comes with a rice cooker). A rice cup is 180ml, which equals 3/4 of a US cup. 4. Guidelines
