In our Electrolux rice cooker

  • Electrolux rice cooker cup holds about 130g dry white rice
  • Electrolux rice cooker cup is 150ml (that’s 0.63 US cup)
  • Let’s try 1 teaspoon of salt per normal cup, so that’s about 0.6 teaspoon per Electrolux cup - seems OK

Washing:

  • need to wash it very well or it all foams up and makes a mess (to be honest, still haven’t figured out how to make it not make a mess)

Brown rice

  • 250ml of water per Electrolux cup of rice. (i.e. 1 2/3 of water per rice)
  • Soak for 15 mins (in the water that you’re going to cook it in)
