I have a Sunbeam Instant Steam Rice Cooker and no manual giving instructions. I don't know if I 'm supposed to add water down below, or in the little bowl provided. I've never had one before. What do I do?

I have the exact same problem, and I can see that no one seems to answer the specific question that you are asking. I have the same question. The question is this: Do you put water in the bottom of the steam cooker AND in the tray with the rice, or do you just put water in the tray and not the rice cooker? Where does the water go? Let's hope someone can answer this question. It would really be nice to know.

Brown rice takes longer to cook... So you will need to cook it longer.. This will be hot to do, but add more water as needed to the rice and the bottom well too if needed and just cook it longer.

Do you add the water in the well too? or leave it dry and put all water in the rice cooker with the rice? just curious, I don't want to get electrocuted or ruin the maker. It is old, but new to me.

How much water to one half cup of jasmine rice

Hello, Steve -

If you are cooking the jasmine rice the traditional way on a stove, the ratio of rice to water is:

3/4 cups of water to 1/2 cup of rice (per most instructions on packages); for softer rice, add just a little bit more water, plus it is recommended to rinse the rice and drain it prior to cooking
See:
https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/perfect-jasmine-rice.html

If you are using an electric rice cooker, the rice to water ration is:
1/2 cup of rice to 1/2 cup of water; rinse and drain the rice prior to cooking
See:

Info needed on rice cooker Bravett model MC665H, how rice can go into pot, what type of rice, and how long to cook

Hi,
A cup of rice is equivalent to two person, depends how a person consumes the rice.
First wash the rice by rinsing it two times( using the pot itself ) with fresh water, add water till it cover the whole rice, amount of water should not exceed the level of your first line mid finger. After that put it in your rice cooker and switch it on. Rice cooker cooks it automatically.
White rice does not need extra time to cook.
Brown or any colored rice should be left or soaked for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking it ( because it is a bit hard ).
Hope that helps you out.
Thanks for using FixYa!

How many cups of rice do you put in when your water line is at 3

hi,

Tips on cooking rice:

You estimate first how many rice you are cooking then follows how many water you will be needing to cook it.

In an average, 1 cup of rice per person (depending on the persons appetite) = 2 cups of water. Rinse first the rice about 2 - 3 times to remove unwanted stuffs then start pouring and measuring the water.

Note:

1 cup rice = 2 cups water (common ratio), but there are also type of rice that requires more water or less water. You can adjust next time the water depending on the result. If the rice is a little bit hard then add more water the next time you cook. If the result is too soft then minus the water.

Hope you can cook now a perfect rice! Bon appetite!

Rice cooking

if that rice when cooked is too soft or too hard.. then , you might want to add more water to it. the correct ratio for cooking rice is always 1 cup rice and 1 cup water. it also depends on what type of rice your cooking though, some type of rice become too mushy when too much water is added... so always have some minimal water to the uncooked rice.
