How much water for 2 cups of rice?▾
For medium-grain white rice (Pandan/Jasmine/IR64): 2 cups rice = 3 cups water (1:1.5 ratio) = 540ml. Basmati: 2 cups rice = 3.5 cups water. Brown rice: 2 cups = 4.5 cups water.
Cup unit — rice cooker cup or US cup?▾
Default uses rice cooker cup (180ml) — the one in Magic Com / Cosmos / Aroma rice cooker boxes. Can switch to grams or ml in the unit dropdown.
How long does rice take in a rice cooker?▾
Rice cooker auto mode: 25-35 min for white rice, 40-50 min for brown/black. Glutinous rice doesn't suit rice cooker auto mode — use steamer.
Can I cook glutinous rice in a rice cooker?▾
Not recommended for auto mode. Glutinous rice needs soaking (4-6 hr or overnight) then steaming for 30 min. Some rice cookers have a glutinous mode.
How many servings does 1 kg of rice make?▾
1 kg white rice ≈ 6.5 rice cooker cups ≈ 20 servings cooked rice (1 serving ≈ 150-200g cooked). Yield varies by rice type and water.
1:1.5 or 1:2 ratio — which is correct?▾
Depends on rice type. Indonesian medium-grain white rice: 1:1.5 (fluffy). Long grain: 1:1.75. Brown rice: 1:2.25. Sources: Bulog, USDA, Indonesian Ministry of Health TKPI.
