If I want to make 1.5 cups of cooked rice how much is that dry?

Thanks :)


Answers:
approx. 3/4 of a cup

.75 cups of dry, I believe. I am a rotten cook, but I am pretty sure that dry rice yields twice as much once cooked. You might want to check a cooking site, just to be sure, though.

Rice will triple in volume when it is cooked, so 1.5 cup cooked is equivalent to 0.5 (one-half) cup dry rice. Be sure to use a dry measure cup, not one for measuring liquids, so you can get the top level.

Rice doubles in size when it absorbs the liquid, so if you need 1.5 cups of cooked rice, you would use 3/4 cup of dry rice!

1 cup~~

Why try and make it such a complicated mathematical equation?
Just add one cup of rice to two cups of boiling water and keep it simple.

IF YOU HAVE THE BOX OR BAG STILL IT SHOULD TELL YOU ON THE SIDE . OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD SAY IT IS 3/4 CUPS DRY RICE WHICH WOULD PROBABLY BE COOKED WITH 1 CUP OF WATER,AND A PINCH OF SALT.

It either triples or doubles, so you would either need 1/2 or 3/4 cup rice.
