Does anyone know the difference between a "rice cooker 1 cup measure" and
a regular 1 cup measure. I've lost my rice cooker cup and most recipes
stipulate using the rice cooker measure......TIA...Sharon

Unfortunately, it varies with the rice cooker. A check at the manufacturer's
web site might help.

I've had several rice cookers over the years but have never seen the
term "rice cooker 1 cup measure" either in their instruction booklets
or in any recipes. What makes you think they would be different from
a regular cup? I don't suppose it would help to tell you that a cup
of rice holds about 7200 grains of rice....<;-) -aem

The rice cooker I once had included a special measuring cup which in no way
equalled a standard measuring cup. It was a melamine type cup with no
markings, and I never bothered to check exactly how much difference there
was in volume.

My aroma rice steamer has a measuring cup that is only 3/4 of a regular
cup. The recipe booklet says to use that instead of a "real" cup.

According to the book I lost...working from memory here...rice cooker
cups are all about the same size and I'm thinking it is about 6 fluid
oz...but don't hold me to that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rice cup measure is normally 180 ml, approximately 25% smaller than
the western measuring cup of 8 (US) fluid ounces / 250 ml.

Does that correspond to a traditional (pre-metric) Japanese measuring
unit?

Only matters if you want to use their water scale along the sides. Oh, and
most of the 'rice cups' that came with my various ones over time have been
3/4-5/8 actual measuring cup.

Dunno about biig, but I got my first one sometime around 1983, replaced it
with a better quality unit sometime around 1986. Eventually the cord (a
non-replaceable type) went bad on the better unit so it too was replaced. I
think that was just before the current one?

I think the main difference between you and me is that you move a lot
and I never move. When you move, cords tend to get wrapped up in a
hurry and "things happen". So, you have cord issues.

Slightly OT. Have you played that no frills vocabulary game at
<freerice.com>? Lots of fun and challenging. I wondered
what measure of free rice I had "won" and now I know I need to aim for
7200 grains.

BTW *On Topic* for the OP, we in Hawaii use equal parts water to equal
parts dry rice in our rice cookers. Works just fine.

We have a Zojirushi and the one cup measure is actually 7 oz. Bob lost
his measuring cup sometime back, but had the forethought to figure out
how much was in each measure before it disappeared. I use my
Tupperware shaker and measure to the 14 oz. line for 2 cups of rice.
Works great.

Funny you should mention that...I bought a cookbook 101 ricecooker recipes,
in the introduction it mentions the ricecooker cup size. Since that seemed
important to me I wrote it on the cover of the book. You lost the cup...I
lost the book.

I misremembered it was 250 rice cooker recipes. Just go to amazon and
search in books using rice cooker there's several cookbooks. Or use the
link to jump to the one I bought.

Doesnt matter as long as you use the same proportions. Many rice makers
come with a cup and if you use it, you can then use the little water scale
on the inside. Lost the cup? 1 cup dry, 2 cups water. Same ratio over and
over no matter how much you double or reduce.

I might add, thats for asian mediam grain 'sticky'. You may want to reduce
the waer slightly if you like american 'separatist' rice <g>.

Howdy,

I lost mine within seconds of purchase it seems...

But, if I measure in any volume of rice, and then double
that volume of water, I get perfect rice every time.

Yes it was. I think either "Boil in a Bag" or "Minute Rice", both
disgusting.

The usual rice cooker plastic cup measures 3/4 of a standard US cup
measure. Don't mix up the two; if using the lines inside the rice cooker
to measure the water, they are calibrated for the plastic cup.

YVW.

BTW reading a very nice (library) book on rice cookers: 'The Ultimate
Rice Cooker Cookbook' by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann (The Harvard
Common Press; 2002)

Usually any book with 'ultimate' or 'complete' isn't really, but this
one's not bad. Talks about rice cookers (and how they work) without any
brand preferences, discusses types of rice and other grains and of
course has a lot of recipes for cooking rice (and other grains) in it.
Even an interesting technique for sauteeing rice etc in the rice cooker
for pilafs.

the chocolate rice pudding recipe in that book sounds good too.
