How is rice measured? What does the capacity mean?
Every TAYAMA rice cooker comes with a plastic measuring cup. This cup has a capacity of 6- ounces, or about 3/4 of a U.S. measuring cup. The capacity of the rice cooker is counted in these 6- ounce cups of uncooked rice. One 6-ounce cup of raw rice makes about 3, 6-ounce cups of cooked rice. Do not confuse the rice cooker measuring cup with U.S. measuring cups; they are different. All TAYAMA rice cookers come with a special measuring cup and nonstick rice spatula for serving. The capacity of a rice cooker is stated in the numbers of 6-ounce cups of raw rice.
