Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard white rice ratio?
For long-grain white rice, use 1:1.5 to 1:2 (rice to water). Short-grain uses slightly less water.
Does altitude affect the ratio?
Yes. At high altitudes water boils at a lower temperature, so you may need slightly more water and longer cooking time.
