One cup (240 mL) of uncooked rice will create somewhere in the range of 1/2 cups (360 mL) to three cups (720 mL) of cooked rice, contingent upon assortment. Leave enough space for this extension to keep the rice cooker from overflowing.
Wash the rice is important. Numerous individuals want to wash the rice so as to evacuate any pesticides, herbicides, or contaminants that might be available.

White, long grain - 1 3/4 cups of water for each 1 cup of rice (420 mL water for every 240 mL rice)
White, medium grain - 1/2 cups of water for each 1 cup of rice (360 mL water for every 240 mL rice)
White, short-grain - 1/4 cups of water for each 1 cup of rice (300 mL water for every 240 mL rice)
Dark-colored, long grain - 2 1/4 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice (520 mL water for every 240 mL rice)
Sold as "parboiled" (not half-cooked at home) - 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice
For Indian style rice like Basmati or Jasmine, less water is required as drier rice is wanted, utilize close to 1/2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. Utilize just 1 to 1 on the off chance that you washed the rice already. It is alright to include narrows leaves or cardamom cases legitimately to the rice cooker to upgrade the flavor.
Splash the rice for thirty minutes, whenever wanted. This isn't required, however, a few people douse the rice to abbreviate the cooking time. Splashing may likewise make the cooked rice stickier.

Try not to lift the top to keep an eye on the rice. The cooking procedure relies upon the advancement of steam inside the pot, so giving steam a chance to escape by opening the cover may bring about inappropriately cooked rice.
The rice cooker naturally kills when the temperature inside the pot surpasses the waters breaking point (212 degrees F or 100 degrees C adrift level), which won't occur until all the free water has disintegrated.
Enable the rice to "rest" for 10-15 minutes before expelling the top (discretionary).

Troubleshooting:
Lessen water levels next time if the rice is soft. Next time you make rice, utilize 1/4–1/2 cup (30–60 mL) less water per cup (240 mL) of rice. This should cook the rice for a shorter timeframe, and give it less water to retain.
Include more water and cook the stove if the rice is half-cooked. On the off chance that the rice turns out excessively chewy or dry for your loving, move it to the stovetop with 1/4 cup (30 mL) of water. Cook secured for a couple of moments to steam the rice.
Adding it back to the rice cooker without enough water to cover it could bring about consuming, or the rice cooker neglecting to turn on.

On the off chance that this occurs, include an additional 1/4–1/2 cup of water for some rice (30–60 mL water for every 240 mL rice). The lower pneumatic stress at high heights makes the water bubble at a lower temperature, so the rice will take more time to cook. The more water you add to a rice cooker, the more it will keep on cooking.
Counsel the rice cooker guidelines or contact the producer on the off chance that you can't locate the right measure of extra water. The sum fundamental differs with elevation.
Manage remaining water. In the event that there is water leftover in a rice cooker after it's done cooking, the rice cooker model is likely flawed and may be supplanted.
