Unfortunately, it varies with the rice cooker. A check at the manufacturer's
web site might help.

I've had several rice cookers over the years but have never seen the
term "rice cooker 1 cup measure" either in their instruction booklets
or in any recipes. What makes you think they would be different from
a regular cup? I don't suppose it would help to tell you that a cup
of rice holds about 7200 grains of rice....<;-) -aem

The rice cooker I once had included a special measuring cup which in no way
equalled a standard measuring cup. It was a melamine type cup with no
markings, and I never bothered to check exactly how much difference there
was in volume.

We have a Zojirushi and the one cup measure is actually 7 oz. Bob lost
his measuring cup sometime back, but had the forethought to figure out
how much was in each measure before it disappeared. I use my
Tupperware shaker and measure to the 14 oz. line for 2 cups of rice.
Works great.

My aroma rice steamer has a measuring cup that is only 3/4 of a regular
cup. The recipe booklet says to use that instead of a "real" cup.

Funny you should mention that...I bought a cookbook 101 ricecooker recipes,
in the introduction it mentions the ricecooker cup size. Since that seemed
important to me I wrote it on the cover of the book. You lost the cup...I
lost the book.

According to the book I lost...working from memory here...rice cooker
cups are all about the same size and I'm thinking it is about 6 fluid
oz...but don't hold me to that.

The rice cup measure is normally 180 ml, approximately 25% smaller than
the western measuring cup of 8 (US) fluid ounces / 250 ml.

Doesnt matter as long as you use the same proportions. Many rice makers
come with a cup and if you use it, you can then use the little water scale
on the inside. Lost the cup? 1 cup dry, 2 cups water. Same ratio over and
over no matter how much you double or reduce.

I might add, thats for asian mediam grain 'sticky'. You may want to reduce
the waer slightly if you like american 'separatist' rice <g>.
