Is it ok to cook a small amount of rice in the Bamboo cooker?
Yes! Bamboo can successfully cook smaller quantities of rice, so you don't need to fill the cooker to its maximum capacity to get excellent results.
We specifically designed and calibrated Bamboo to handle smaller quantities effectively. One or two cups of rice can be cooked successfully, even though Bamboo has a maximum capacity of 8 cups of uncooked white rice.
Small or Large Batches
Whether you're cooking for yourself, a couple or a larger family, Bamboo is designed to provide consistent results across a range of quantities.
For example:
1 cup – ideal for a small individual serving or meal
2 cups – suitable for a couple or small meal
Up to 8 cups – Bamboo's full white rice capacity
We've made sure that 1 cup of rice can come out just as well cooked as a full 8-cup batch, so there is no need to cook more rice than you actually need.
Bamboo's large capacity doesn't mean you have to cook large quantities – it is equally capable of producing excellent rice when you're cooking a much smaller batch.
