Dash DRCM200 Questions and Answers


#1 Can it cook brown rice?

Maybe. Since the ratio of brown rice to water is about 1 cup rice: 2 cup water the volume of pot is maxed out prior to cooking. Water and brown rice is full to the top. If you cook more than 1 cup brown rice you should get a larger capacity cooker. The measuring cup supplied with the cooker is 6 ounces full, rather than standard US 8 ounce cup of measurement

#2 Can this make soups?

There is a recipe included with the Dash Mini Rice Cooker for chicken soup. I haven't used it to make soup but if you're warming up soup I don't see why not. Just don't fill it too close to the top or it could bubble over. If you want to make soup from scratch you would need to use a stock for the base since the cooker only cooks for 20-30 minutes then switches to warm.

#3 Does this rice cooker take 2 cups uncooked rice and make 4 cups of cooked rice? Or does it only fit 1 cup of uncooked rice and make 2 cups cooked?

The 160 ml cup that comes with it is essentially 2/3 cup of uncooked rice.
