I am planning to buy a rice cooker as our old one is nearing its end of life.
Can someone tell me there are markings for 1 cup rice in the Panasonic 10 cup rice cooker? We normally cook 1 cup daily but it's nice to have higher capacity one in case there are guests. But if there are no markings for 1 cup, I don't want to eyeball every time.
Can you use a measuring cup to achieve 1 cup?
Or is 1 cup different on a Panasonic?
Two brands one cup
Doesn't it come with a rice measuring cup?
no can only make rice in lots of 10!
no measurements needed, use the chinese way of determining how much water you need, past down the generations,
massive secret and ive decided to share with you all…
get your finger
dip into rice, measure how deep it is
lift finger above water (remembering the spot for the rice)
add water to that spot.
remember, rule number one of rice making
NEVER TALK ABOUT RICE MAKING!
never disclose this or i will hunt you and find you
Why did this get a neg, is the method incorrect?
An Asian girl taught me the finger method and it seems to work well. I’ve cooked it that way for other people who are native rice eaters and they’ve liked the rice.

Dang it, I even edited after posting to try and avoid that.

Thanks! I just had my laugh for the day! 🤣
lol itsba total legit way of doing it
however fornbrown rice add a dash more water. like salt bae style
I know the Chinese way I was taught, and I can't work out how your way is supposed to work?
The way I was taught:
For our rice cooker (and presumably others), that coincidentally is the same amount of water as if I add the same number of cups of water as there are cups of rice in the cooker, after it has been rinsed.
5 cups is good for ten guests
If it's too difficult to figure out how to cook a small amount of rice just cook the full amount and freeze the leftovers in meal sized containers for next time.

10 cups is rather big if you usually only do 1 cup. Might be more efficient to buy a 5 cup.
1 cup of rice should be cooked in microwave oven.
What is this mystical microwave rice method you speak of?
I use this LG Neochef one.
Water is 50% more than rice, best to soak the rice for a few hours. 1.5-2 mins full power and 8-10 mins 20%-30% power.
Use a reasonably big bowl/container as in the first 1.5-2 mins, it boils heavily. Do not cover it tightly.
Cooking rice is just 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water, just use a measuring cup, so if you fill the rice to the 250ml line, then add 375m; of water, also if you are cooking 1 cup of rice, it is probably just easier to 3/4 fill a saucepan with water (doesn't have to be specific amount), add some salt and bring to boil, pour your 1 cup of rice in, stir it, keep stirring it every couple of minutes to make sure it doesn't clump and stick to the bottom, and when it has reached to texture you want, just pour it into a colander
Uncle Roger is disappointed
Rice cooker rice is far superior
nah, it is exactly the same as doing the absorption method in a saucepan
Measuring cup product description clearly states cup is total 180gm with a 1 cup marking at 150gm.
Found in under 2 min… did you look?
Auto rice cooker just boils water until rice absorbs it, so one finger knuckle above top of rice'll do it
Rice cooker is actually 1 cup rice to 1 cup water, though I usually add a little extra, maybe 0.2 of a cup.
if you google it, there seems to be all sorts of different ratios out there, but the general rule is 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water, whether it is done in a rice cooker or saucepan, that's what i have always gone by, maybe next time i'll try 1:1 and see how it comes out
But if there are no markings for 1 cup, I don't want to eyeball every time.
Increase the lifespan of the rice cooker bowl by cooking your 1 cup rice in a smaller metal bowl.
- pour 2 cups water into the rice cooker bowl
- place a small steel/aluminium bowl with 1 cup rice and 2 cups water (or whatever your ratio is)
- cook as normal.
Easy part is that the small bowl can be washed in the dishwasher and large bowl remains good looking for longer.

what? I've never heard this one before!
It will last longer if you never have to scrub the rice off it. Just rinse once in a week or so and you’re set. I’ve cooked rice like this for 20 years. Works in pressure cooking mode too.
Just be sure that the smaller bowl can hold 1 cup cooked rice without spillage. Otherwise now you’ll have to clean two bowls!
That makes sense. Except I've never had to scrub the rice cooker pot for ages. The non stick coating seems to work pretty well and the rice just comes right off with the wipe of a cloth/sponge. It's been about 7 years with the current one and still looks brand new. haha
Why cook a cup every day. Just cook a weeks worth in one go. More efficient energy wise.
maybe he has tastebuds that still work and want fresh rice.
why buy a huge 10 cup rice cooker if you are only going to cook 1 cup? that's like buying a ferrari and only going 15 km/h. lol
Yep. That's what we do.
