Hello Gary,The 6 cups refers to the measuring cup that comes with the rice cooker. In other words, 6 cups of uncooked rice from the measuring cup it comes with.I hope this clarifies your question! If you have any other questions, let us know!

The 6 cups referred to is capacity for uncooked rice. Perhaps surprisingly, the cooked rice volume is only slightly more than this because this is a pressure cooker.

it comes with its own "cup" which is a little less than a regular cup, I believe it is 6oz. It cooks a maximum of 8 "cups" yielding 16 cooked "cups". Hope that helps you. Its a great rice cooker. I bought it mainly for brown rice and it does an excellent job.

You are absolutely correct, we messed up and it is a typo. They hold as follows: Small holds 1.25 qts, the medium holds 3.5 qts, and the large holds 4.5 qts (not to the border but a quatity you would would normally put in a pot without it spilling). I hopw that helps, and we have updated the listing to have to correct information. Thanks for pointing it out.

3 uncooked becomes 6 cups cooked rice is maximum. We use ours for 6 cups cooked all the time. Tip. Once finished cooking and auto goes to warm, try to put rice out into covers dish not too long after. If sits on warm too long can overcook rice at bottom on cooker.

I did some research online to answer this, and found (unsurprisingly) that the answer is not so simple. Raw should mean completely uncooked, and so the label saying uncooked should cover it - but there is a difference in opinion about what constitutes "cooked". I can say from experience with the product that the aroma and flavor are all there and that this does not taste anything like the fake honey that one gets at fast food places or from generic grocery store brands. At the same time, it is not as pungent and full as some of the more exotic honeys that one would pay a lot of money for.

Gail, Typically the amount of uncooked rice to water is 1:2, e.g. one cup of rice to cups of water. There may be some variance depending on the altitude where you live and/or the type of rice that you are cooking.

They mean 5.5 cups of (uncooked) rice. They just mixed up the word placement.

Why do people comment if they don't want to offer an answer? First, fill the reservoir with water to the fullest level. The rule of thumb for White Rice regardless of how it's cooked, is 1 Cup uncooked White Rice to 2 Cups cold Water. Always use double the amount of water as you do rice. When it's cooked, you'll end up with approx. 2 Cups of White Rice using this equation. Put rice and water into the included Plastic basket, & set the timer according to directions. If you don't have directions for some reason, I'd look online for a replacement booklet, or use the info on the bag of rice as a guideline., My steamer takes approx 20 mins. for 1 Cup uncooked rice, it's an older version of this unit. Timing can vary for many reasons. I would check the cooking process often, and turn unit off when rice is rice is fluffy with a fork. Rice, as well as veggies will continue to cook even after the timer stops unless you remove the food from the unit. If you're fussy about overcooking, make sure you stay close by. I did have to practice with rice a couple of times before getting it just right. Once you get the timing of your favorite foods down, you'll never want to be without a steamer, and the process becomes second nature. Good luck!

CC, 6 cups of rice is "cooked" rice. It will take approximately 25 mins. to cook 4 cups of "uncooked" rice. LMM. This product is well worth the cost. Makes perfect rice every time for me. You will need twice as much time if you use brown rice. Keep that in mind. :-)

Don't remember sent it packing. Coffee was not hot enough probably because thermal pot needs to be preheated and I only made about 5 cups at one time. Have and old pot just made 12 cups Sunday and coffee was hot, not hot when just 4 or 5 cups made

Yes, 3 cups of uncooked rice + 6 cups of water = 3 cups of cooked rice. Diameter is about 7 inches.

No. The cooker includes a 3/4 cup "measuring cup," and the instructions say it can cook up to 3 of these, which would be 2 1/4 cups of uncooked rice. They claim this will make 6 cups of cooked rice.

I don't have mine anymore. I sent it back because it was tiny. When they say 6 cup they are talking about 3/4 not one cup. Plus brown rice takes up more room so you end up with only about 3 real cups of brown rice when done. I sent it back and got the bigger one and it is fine.

Honestly, all I've ever cooked is one large can of soup. It would have taken two cans. Your guess is as good as mine.

I usually cook 3 cups and it takes 35 to 40minutes. So I would guess 2 cups might take 30 to 35 minutes.

It is a two pound bag therefore it is 32 ounces. A cup is 8 ounces which if divided into 32 ounces it will result in four cups uncooked in the bag- that is if I understand the question correctly
