How much cooked rice you will get from the uncooked amount entered.

Water needed2 cups
Servings3.0 servings (regular)
Approximate cook time~18 min
Expansion ratio1 : 3.0 (uncooked : cooked)

Your uncooked rice will yield 3 cups once cooked.

  • White rice expands to 3x its dry volume when cooked, so a small amount of dry rice goes a long way.
  • You will need 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer and cover until absorbed (about 18 minutes for white rice).
  • Your yield works out to approximately 3.0 servings (regular).

Next stepRinse white rice until the water runs clear to remove surface starch and produce fluffier, less sticky grains.
