Calculators

Estimate cooked rice volume from the amount of uncooked rice and an assumed cooking yield. The default is illustrative; yield varies by rice variety, cooking method, and desired texture.

Estimate the volume of water absorbed per volume of uncooked rice. Measure rice, added water, and any liquid remaining after cooking using the same cup size. The estimate includes water lost to evaporation; defaults are illustrative.

Estimate the water needed for uncooked rice using an illustrative water-to-rice ratio. Measure rice and water with the same cup. Ratios vary by rice, cooker, rinsing, and texture preference; follow your cooker instructions when available.

Estimate the water needed to cook dry wild rice using your chosen water-to-rice ratio. The default is 3 cups of water per cup of dry wild rice; follow your package or rice cooker instructions when they specify a different ratio. This estimate does not account for water lost to evaporation or drained after cooking.

Estimate the water to add when cooking glutinous rice using your chosen water-to-dry-rice ratio. Measure rice and water with the same cup. The default ratio is an illustrative starting point; follow your rice cooker or recipe instructions, especially if the rice is soaked or steamed.

Estimate the water needed for rinsed and drained uncooked sushi rice using a water-to-rice volume ratio. Use the same cup for both measurements. The default ratio is illustrative; follow your rice or rice cooker instructions when they specify a different amount.

Estimate the water needed for uncooked basmati rice using your chosen water-to-rice ratio. Measure rice and water with the same cup. The default ratio is an illustrative starting point; adjust it for your rice, soaking time, cooking method, and appliance instructions.

Estimate the water needed for dry jasmine rice using your chosen water-to-rice ratio. Measure both with the same cup. The default ratio is illustrative; follow your rice package or cooker instructions and adjust for your preferred texture.

Estimate the water needed for uncooked brown rice using your preferred water-to-rice ratio. Measure rice and water with the same cup. The default 2:1 ratio is an illustrative starting point; follow your rice cooker or package instructions when available. Add extra water only if your cooking method requires it.

Estimate the water needed for uncooked white rice using your chosen water-to-rice ratio. Measure rice and water with the same cup. The default 1.5:1 ratio is illustrative; check your rice package or rice cooker instructions, as varieties and cooking methods differ.

Estimate cooked rice weight from dry rice weight and your assumed cooking yield. The default yield is illustrative; rice variety, cooking method, and water absorption affect the result. The estimate excludes added ingredients.

Estimate servings from dry rice using an assumed cooked yield and your chosen serving size. Cooked yield varies by rice variety and preparation. The result may be fractional; round up when planning enough rice for a whole number of people.

Estimate the dry rice needed for your planned portions using your expected cooked yield. Measurements use the same cup size for dry and cooked rice. Defaults are illustrative; yield varies by rice type and cooking method.

Estimate the cost of one serving using the package price, uncooked rice weight, and uncooked rice per serving. Optionally add other ingredient costs per serving. Defaults are illustrative; cooked weight varies with rice type and preparation.

Estimate the minimum rice cooker capacity for your usual batch, measured in 180 mL rice cooker cups of uncooked rice. Round the result up when choosing a cooker, and check the manufacturer’s minimum and maximum fill limits for the type of rice you cook. Defaults are illustrative.

Estimate calories in plain rice and added oil. Enter the weight per serving and choose the rice type and preparation state. Rice calorie values are approximate averages per 100 g; cooked weight includes absorbed water. Oil is entered as the total amount added to all servings. Calories vary by variety, cooking method, and product, so use package information for greater precision.

Convert US cups of rice to approximate grams using typical weights for uncooked or cooked rice. Actual weight varies with variety, moisture, cooking method, and how tightly the cup is filled. One US cup equals approximately 240 mL.

Estimate cooked rice weight from the dry rice weight and your assumed cooking yield. Cooked weight includes absorbed water; yield varies with rice variety, cooking method, and water absorption. The default yield is illustrative.

Estimate the dry rice needed for a group using a chosen portion size and an optional allowance for extra servings. Portion sizes are illustrative and vary with appetite and whether rice is a side or main dish. This estimates uncooked rice by weight; cooking yields vary by rice type and preparation.

Calculate the water needed for uncooked rice using a volume ratio. Use the same measuring cup for both ingredients. The default ratio is an illustrative starting point; follow your rice package or cooker instructions, as rice variety, rinsing and cooking method affect water needs.
