How much rice is it? How big is one cup?
One cup is the measurement. It's equivalent to 8 fluid ounces or 16 tablespoons by volume. You will need a measuring device of some sort, either ones with a pour spout usually used for measuring liquids, or measuring cups that come in sets (usually 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and one cup). Or, if you're on the metric system, it's equivalent to about 240 milliliters.
do you not have a measuring cup? well if you dont then use a cofee cup that equals 1 cup
Do you have a measuring cup?
get a set of measuring cups and you will know exactly. As a guess, a cup of rice is about two hand fulls.
If all you are doing is making rice to eat, throw a couple of handfuls of rice into a pot with some salt, and 2 cups (16 oz)of water.
It does not have to be exact, so don't worry too much. Just cook the rice covered, on low until the liquid is gone, and the rice is tender, If the liquid is gone, and the rice is still not soft, add more water, and cook more.
you'll need a measuring cup to determine that. you can buy one at walmart, target, the dollar store or many other stores.
As others have said, you need a measuring cup.
Use your measuring cup to measure the rice before cooking.
Meh!
lol sorry, but it really doesnt matter :P
boiling rice just requires egual parts, like a ratio of 2:1, 2 cups of water, one cup of rice, but you can use anything around the kitchen if youre just boiling it.
If it has to be specific, use a standard coffee cup, it usually equals about a cup :)
