A rice cooker cup is 180 milliliters (mL), which is approximately 3/4 of a standard US measuring cup.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Standard Rice Cooker Cup: This special cup is specifically designed to measure rice for your rice cooker. Using it ensures the correct rice-to-water ratio for perfectly cooked rice.
-
Volume: 180 mL
-
US Cup Equivalence: Approximately 3/4 cup (0.75 cups)
-
Why Not a Standard US Cup?: Rice cooker recipes are formulated based on the rice cooker cup size. Using a standard US cup will likely throw off your rice-to-water ratio, resulting in undercooked or overcooked rice.
-
Where to Get One: Most rice cookers come with a dedicated rice measuring cup.
-
If You Lost Yours: If you've lost your rice cooker cup, using 3/4 of a US measuring cup is a decent substitute. However, for optimal results, consider buying a replacement cup online. Many are available for purchase as replacement parts.
