Its the most easiest to make with any measuring utensil..
Find anything like a coffee cup .. If you put one coffee cupp full of rice put two coffee cups of water place a lid on set stove. on med to highish and wait til u no longer hear water bubbling inside the pot or if your lid is clear no longer see water Never stir until u know for sure its tender and if its done on top part its done on bottom part...
1rice. 2water
2 rice. 4 water get it.
So you lost the instructions to your rice cooker and now you want to know how much rice and water you need in there… He is what I have found out with using my cooker to prepare rice.
There is a cup that comes with your rice cooker that equals about 2/3 of a regular measuring cup...one of these or 2/3 cup for every cooked cup of rice that you want to end up with... Add as many 2/3 cup fulls of rice as the number of full cups or servings that you want to end up with. See my notes about washing the rice further down in this tip. The water... There are lines on most of the cookers with numbers that represent the number of cups you are cooking...fill with water to that line.... If you are not sure, just fill with water a bit over the top of the rice...the amount is not that critical as the cooker senses when the water is cooked off and then shuts down...so a bit more will only make the cooking time a bit longer... no biggee... Also it is best to rinse your rice before you actually leave the water in the pot that you are going to cook with... Remeber also, if you have a brown or wild rice setting that the cooking times are MUCH longer...like up to 90 minutes, so get it started in plenty of time or you will be eating rice for a snack before bed...
The best feature is that you just have to place the rice and water in the unit, press the button for the type of rice you are using and forget about it itll it goes through the cycle and shuts down, going into the hold warm mode....it is so easy!!
These things are really goof proof, and make great rice very easily...a little bit of experimentation and you will enjoy very much using your rice cooker.

Check this procedure: * Before cooking, rinse rice in warm water until water becomes clear. Then place the rice in the inner pot with fresh water. * Take care to use proper water to rice ratios. * Use a 1:1 ratio of rice to water plus ½ cup of water for white rice and a 1:1 ratio plus ¾ cup of water for brown rice.
TIPS: # You may wish to tweak the "rice to water ratio" with experience - for example: for larger quantities of rice, you may find a little less or more than one and a half the amount of water results in better rice. # One cup of dry rice grains cooked in this way is about sufficient to accompany a meal for 2 adults. # If the rice is a major component of the dish, you might need up to 1 cup of rice per adult. # Your base measurement doesn't need to be a cup necessarily - the key is to add 1.5x as much water as rice, whatever the quantity. # It works best to use the original lid of the pot you use, since it will seal best. # When the rice first boils, it might weep a bit or even lift the lid. Keep watch and an ear out for the start of the boil. # These times and ratios are for white rice (e.g. Jasmine, Basmati, etc). If you are cooking brown rice you will need around 2C water to 1C rice and double the time. # Salt is not necessary when cooking rice, but can be added. Unless you add a ridiculous amount of salt it will not significantly change the boiling temperature or time. # Water boils at a lower temperature at altitude. If you live at a high altitude it will take longer to cook rice using this method.
I hope help with this (remember to rate this answer).
You use one cup of water for each cup of uncooked rice. You end up with about 2 cups of cooked rice for every cup of uncooked rice. Different varieties, such as brown rice, take more water, up to 2 cups of water per cup of uncooked rice. If the resulting rice is too dry, you can add more water and restart the cooker.
I am not sure, but I believe that 16 cups refers to cooked rice, so you should not put more than 8 cups of uncooked rice in the cooker.
I have a Toastmaster 3 cup rice cooker but think the ratio would be the same.
Long grain white rice - 2 rice measuring cups - water to 2 cup line = 8 (1/2 cup) servings
3 rice measuring cups - water to 3 cup line = 12 (1/2 cup) servings
Long grain brown rice - 1 1/2 Rice measuring cups - water to 3 cup line - 6 (1/2 cup) servings
For fluffy rice: After cooker shuts off, allow rice to stand for approx. 15 minutes, covered, before serving.
