What is the best method to measure rice for cooking

One cup of uncooked rice makes three cups when cooked. Figure one cup per person you would have to have seven cups of uncooked rice with a spec left over. I would cook eight cup to make sure I had enough. You will need a BIG kettle.

use the rice measuring cup to measure. 1 cup equals how much? then you will know. too much rice left over is ok coz u can fry rice

hmm well were a family of 4 and we have 12 dogs. We cook 4-5 cups of rice.You could estimate it from there..

Measure 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water for 2 people.

The method is that two glass of water plus one glass(same glass,bottle) of rice.

It should be:
5 cups uncooked calrose rice, rinsed
7-1/2 cups chicken/vegetable broth or salted water

cook covered 45 minutes - no peeking or the rice may cook unevenly.

You may want to borrow a rice cooker or 2 with a timer just to be sure it cooks evenly and does not burn.

Good Luck!
