The amount of water to add when cooking rice in a rice cooker generally depends on the type of rice you are using. Here are some common guidelines:
- White Rice (long grain, medium grain, short grain):
- 1 cup rice: 1.5 cups water
- Brown Rice:
- 1 cup rice: 2 cups water
- Jasmine Rice:
- 1 cup rice: 1.25 cups water
- Basmati Rice:
- 1 cup rice: 1.5 cups water
- Sushi Rice:
- 1 cup rice: 1.2 cups water
- Wild Rice:
- 1 cup rice: 2.5 cups water
These ratios can vary slightly depending on your rice cooker and personal preference for rice texture.
It’s a good idea to consult the manual that came with your rice cooker as it may have specific recommendations.
Additionally, you may need to adjust the water slightly if you live at a high altitude or prefer your rice softer or firmer.
