Cuisinart CRC-800C Instruction and Recipe Booklet - Page 8

RECIPES Your Rice Cooker comes with a 6-ounce (12 tablespoons or 3/4 of a standard 1-cup measure) measuring cup. All recipes in this Instruction & Recipe Book are written using the rice/grain/cereal measured with the Rice Cooker measuring cup. The liquid is measured with a traditional liquid measure (1 cup = 8 ounces = 16 tablespoons). Only white rices can be cooked to the maximum amount possible in the Rice Cooker (4 Rice Cooker cups/8 Rice Cooker cups). Do not cook more than the suggested amounts of other rices on the cooking chart, as the amount of liquid needed to cook larger amounts will boil over. Note: For all recipes, use the included Rice Cooker Measure Cup to measure the rice or grain. Use a standard liquid measure cup to measure all liquids. (This keeps your Rice Cooker Measure Cup dry for measuring dry rice/grain.) The Rice Cooker Measure Cup = 3/4 cup standard dry measure or 12 tablespoons (180ml).
