Frequently asked questions

Does this work for basmati and short-grain?
Close enough. Basmati is slightly lighter per cup because the grains are longer and pack less tightly; short-grain and arborio are slightly denser. The spread is under 10 g per cup, well inside normal cooking tolerance.
Why does a cup of uncooked white rice not weigh the same as a cup of water?
Because a cup measures volume and a scale measures weight, and the two only agree for water. Uncooked white rice has its own density — 185 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
Very little. Uncooked rice grains are hard and roughly uniform, so they settle to about the same 185 g per cup however you fill it — a shake or a level-off changes it by a few grams at most. Rice is one of the safer things to measure by volume.
Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and an old UK cup is 284 ml. These pages use the US cup, because that is what US recipes mean.
