How Much Rice and Water Should You Put in an Aroma Rice Cooker?

Aroma rice cookers keep rice warm.

With the Aroma Rice Cooker Cup

The Aroma Housewares Co. includes a measuring cup with every rice cooker. Use the cup to measure rice and water. For every cup of uncooked white rice, add the same amount of water plus 1/2 cup. So, if you measure 1 cup of uncooked white rice, use 1 1/2 cups of water. If you measure 2 cups of uncooked white rice, use 2 1/2 cups of water. For brown rice, measure the brown rice and use the same amount of water plus 1/4 cup.

With Standard Measuring Cups

Measuring cups supplied with rice cookers, including the Aroma rice cooker, conform to standards of the USA Rice Federation. These cups are only 180 ml, or about 3/4 the size of 8-oz. measuring cups found in most U.S. kitchens. So, if you lose the Aroma rice cooker cup, fill your standard measuring cup only 3/4 full and adjust your measurements accordingly.

Bottom Line

Measure your ingredients properly and Aroma rice cookers will make fluffy rice and keep it warm with little effort.
