  • Knuckle method: level the rice, add water until it covers the rice by about one finger joint (adjust by rice type above).
  • New-crop rice holds less water: reduce by ~5%; older rice or high-altitude areas need a bit more.
  • Brown rice / mixed grains: soak 1h first, ratio up to 1:2, or use the porridge mode.
  • Too hard → add a bit more water next time; too mushy → reduce. Electric pressure cookers need ~0.1 less.
  • Cooked yield ≈ 2.1–2.4× raw weight (100g raw ≈ 210g cooked for short-grain).
