Why does the water ratio differ by rice type?
Different rice varieties absorb water differently. Long grain needs less water, while brown rice needs more due to its bran layer.
Can I use this ratio for a rice cooker?
Yes, the same ratio works for rice cookers. Just use the same cup measurements.
What if I want to cook more or fewer servings?
Simply adjust the servings input. The ratio stays the same, so the water scales proportionally.

- For firmer rice, reduce water slightly; for softer, add a bit more.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the same water ratio for all rice types.
- Not adjusting for brown rice's higher water absorption.
- Overfilling the pot; rice expands, so use a large enough pot.
