Rice Cooking Water Calculator.
Calculates the amount of water needed to cook a given amount of rice, based on the rice type and desired texture.
Your inputs
How it works
- 1
Select the amount of rice you plan to cook.
- 2
Choose the type of rice from the dropdown.
- 3
Select your desired texture (firm, standard, or soft).
- 4
The calculator multiplies the rice amount by the appropriate water ratio to give you the water needed.
rice_amount * (rice_type == 'long_grain' ? (texture == 'firm' ? 1.5 : texture == 'soft' ? 2.0 : 1.75) : rice_type == 'medium_grain' ? (texture == 'firm' ? 1.75 : texture == 'soft' ? 2.25 : 2.0) : rice_type == 'short_grain' ? (texture == 'firm' ? 1.5 : texture == 'soft' ? 2.0 : 1.75) : (texture == 'firm' ? 2.0 : texture == 'soft' ? 2.5 : 2.25))Frequently asked
Why does the water ratio differ by rice type?
Different rice varieties absorb water differently. For example, brown rice requires more water and longer cooking time because it retains the bran layer, while long-grain white rice needs less water to stay fluffy.
Can I use this calculator for cooking rice in a rice cooker?
Yes, the ratios are generally suitable for both stovetop and rice cooker methods. However, some rice cookers have their own markings; you can use this as a guide and adjust to your preference.
What if I want to cook rice for more than 10 cups?
The calculator supports up to 10 cups, but you can scale the ratios linearly for larger quantities. Just multiply the water amount proportionally.
