I just got a used zojirushi, without instructions. The webside has a
52 pg. .pdf format booklet.

Can anyone give me quick and dirty measurements? ! cup rice + water
to x mark.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Usually white, Calrose Hinode. Rarely brown.

I always wash the rice first. Then it worked out to about the same
amount of water to rice. But that's my old $15. National, right??

For Basmati or other long grain, if washed, I use 1.5 cups of water per cup of
rice. If not washed. another ~1/4 cup of water.

For short-grain, plump rice, like paella or risotto-type rices (arborio,
carnaroli, vialone nano) which are generally not washed, I use 2 cups of water
per cup of rice.

I generally don't add salt by itself, but use a chicken bouillion cube.
