Frequently Asked Questions
How much rice can I actually cook in a 6-cup rice cooker?
The cup measurements refer to uncooked rice using the manufacturer's measuring cup (usually about 3/4 of a standard cup). A 6-cup model typically yields enough cooked rice for 6-12 servings, depending on portion sizes.
Can budget rice cookers handle brown rice and other grains?
Many budget models can cook brown rice, though they may not have dedicated settings. Cooking times will be longer, and you may need to add extra water. Results with other grains like quinoa or barley vary by model.
How long do budget rice cookers typically last?
With regular home use, a quality budget rice cooker can last 3-7 years. The non-stick coating on the inner pot is usually the first component to show wear, but replacement pots are often available.
Is the keep-warm function safe to use overnight?
Most rice cookers are designed to keep rice warm safely for several hours, but leaving rice at warm temperatures for extended periods (over 4-6 hours) can affect texture and food safety. It's best to refrigerate leftover rice promptly.
