I've had three of them. One was so small it only did a single serving of rice. I don't know what brand that was. I had a nice Panasonic that was almost big enough to run an oriental restaurant. It gave me years of great service before burning out the heating element. I got a smaller one from Aldi about two years ago, I'll have to look up the brand. All of them were single control devices -- you put the rice and water in and push down the little lever and they start up. (assuming you've also plugged them in) I've found that brown rice does well if you soak it for an hour or so before cooking. Oh, and all three heated like a warming tray when not cooking, so you can keep the rice warm after it cooks.

What brand do you have? Is there a model number on it anywhere? If so, you can maybe find instructions for it online. That would be better than guessing. Does the pot itself have any sort of fill lines inside? That could give you an idea. It sounds small, so I would start with 1 cup rice and 2 cups water. All of them should cook that much no matter what the size. There should be buttons or some sort of guide that lets you know what setting to put it on, unless there is just one choice. Then watch it like a hawk the first time to make sure it shuts itself off properly at the end of the cooking cycle.

My question is: How much water would you put in with 1 cup uncooked rice. The usual 2 cups rice seems too much. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
