Forgotten Rice-to-Water Ratio & Cook Time in the Microwave

In summary, the standard rice-to-water ratio for cooking rice in the microwave is 1:2, meaning 1 cup of rice requires 2 cups of water. However, this may vary depending on the type and brand of rice being used. The cook time for rice in the microwave is typically 10-15 minutes and may vary based on the type of rice and microwave power. Different types of rice may require different ratios of water, so it is important to check the package instructions or do a quick online search. Using too much water when cooking rice in the microwave can result in a mushy and overcooked texture. It is possible to add seasonings or spices to the rice for added flavor, but it is important to not add

I have the rice cooker, but can't remember how much rice : water. Then how long to cook in micro?

Please remind me. Thanks.
 
I use the rice cooker plus at least 2 times a week:

Long grained white rice:

1 cup rice to 2 cups liquid.

9 cup capacity so you can do 3 cups of raw rice and 6 cups of water.

5 minutes on high, 15 minutes on medium.

Every microwave is a bit different so adjust accordingly but this usually works.
 
Follow the directions for microwave cooking on the package of the rice (or whatever you are choosing to cook in the rice cooker).
 
has anyone used it for brown rice? My SIL has it, and said that when she goes by the directions on the Use that it doesnt cook all the way... hmm?
 
The use and care with the cooker is for white rice. Brown takes a LOT longer to cook. She should use the directions on the rice.
 
ok thanks ann!
 
Just follow the microwave directions on the side of the box. For a family of 4 it takes me only 10 minutes with minute rice.
 
Just chiming in with chefann - brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice.
