How much uncooked rice increase after cooked.


Rice is a versatile food that blends well with chicken, pork and a variety of other foods. Rice also comes in many forms including quick-cook, long grain and short grain. Rice is cooked, by boiling it in water. As the rice cooks, it absorbs the water, turning the tiny, hard grains into larger, soft pieces, which can then be eaten. One cup of white rice should be cooked in approximately 1-3/4 cups water, other types of rice vary, so be sure to adjust the recipe accordingly. Salt and other seasonings can be added to the rice, if desired.

One cup of uncooked white rice makes approximately 3 cups of cooked rice. One cup of uncooked brown rice makes 4 cups of cooked rice.
While different types of rice vary somewhat in their proportions and cooking times, generally one cup of dried rice yields between 3 and 4 cups of rice when prepared. Long- and whole-grain varieties tend to yield slightly more than medium- and short-grain rice. Follow instructions on individual packaging when cooking or combine rice, water, salt and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Typically for one-third cup of dried rice, two-thirds cup of water is used.
