While the 2:1 ratio is in the ball park, I find the more rice I cook, the more I vary to a ratio less than 2:1 (water to rice).

Another factor: Do you rinse your rice before you cook it? If you do (and you probably should to remove miscellaneous stuff that can get into rice like dust, pebbles, and other stuff you don't want to know about, not to speak of floating to the surface and removing broken husks), you will again probably find a ratio of less than 2:1 ideal.

It's all up to you. Experiment and see what works. At least rice is relatively cheap to experiment with.

if you use a pressure cooker, buy a "heat diffuser" (Google that term and you'll find 'em). It will substantially reduce the amount of rice that gets burned at the bottom of the pot, allow you to cook the rice longer and thus remove more water. This device is essential to producing light fluffy (not gummy and sticky) and unburnt brown rice, especially on an electric stove!!!

How does a rice cooker know when to stop?

A rice cooker has a thermostat that turns off when the temperature reaches 100C, the boiling point of water. So the rice continues to cook until all the water is absorbed by the rice or boiled away. Then it turns off. The trick is to to have just the right amount of water so your rice is perfectly cooked. A: Mine didn't know when to stop and burned the rice every time. I now use my rice cooker solely as a vegetable steamer.

How do you make steamed rice?

Koreans typically use a rice cooker which works great. It can cook a potfull of rice in less than thirty minutes and can be bought at a local Asian store. Start by putting some rice in the pot and washing it three times with water. Drain the water then fill the pot with a fresh set of water that fits the amount used for how much rice you put (if you cook some measures of rice with too much water it'll be too wet and watery, cook it with not enough water will lead to dryer rice)...next place, the pot, which now consists of rice and water, in the rice cooker and press "cook". Once done cooking, the cooker will automatically switch to "warm", which means it stops cooking but just keeps the rice warm. open the cooker and stir the rice...this prevents it from getting sticky and becoming a glob instead of fluffy.. you don't have to eat all the rice in the pot in one day...it wont' spoil...rice in the pot kept at "warm" can last two to three days...good luck :)


Who invents the rice cooker?

The idea of having a rice cooker began in 1920 but they were not very effective. They had to be monitored constantly. In 1956, Toshiba came up with an effective rice cooker. It was easy to use and did not require constant monitoring. Today's rice cookers are great as we simply push the cook button and let it do its thing.Many rice products require the same cooking instructions but it is always valuable to read the directions for each product you put in the rice cooker. Here is a good recipe for cooking rice pasta in the rice cooker.2 1/2 cups of warm water1 tbsp. of olive oil in the cooker.1 cup of rice pasta in the cookerPlace the warm water and olive oil in the cooker. It is recommended to use a type of oil when cooking pasta. Butter, cooking oil or any other type of oil would be okay. The idea is to have some kind of oil substance so the pasta will not stick together. Add the pasta and stir in the warm water. Turn on the rice cooker. Pasta may require more water to complete cooking, if this is the case then add more water and start the cooking cycle one more time. Drain pasta when it is finished, drain and serve.After the pasta is finished cooking remove all the pasta and unplug the cooker. After the cooker has cooled remove the inner pot and submerge in some hot soapy water. Do not submerge the exterior of the cooker in water. Take a damp cloth and wipe down the lid and the surface of the cooker. Do not spray cleaner directly on the external part of the cooker. Cleaners contain poisons and they may get inside the cooker. If there is any rice or food on the cookers hot plate remove this by using a light sandpaper material. Do not use scouring powder or an abrasive sponge as a cleaner for the cooker. Be gentle when using these as you do not want to cause scratches on the hot plate.Remember these tips for the rice cookers: clean the cooker after each use, do not submerge the external cooker in water, do not use spray cleaners on the external cooker, and do not use abrasive cleaners.If the rice cooker is cleaned after each use there should not be a problem or use for abrasive cleaners.
