01Buy for the normal batch
A half-cup starting quantity is useful when a large pot would be underused. Check the minimum for the specific grain and menu rather than applying one rice setting to every food.

BEFORE YOU CLICKA few good
A few good
questions.
Clear information makes a better next step.
Does three cups mean three US measuring cups?
Use the supplied 180 ml rice measure; Zojirushi defines its capacity with that rice cup.
Is the pot stainless steel?
The exterior finish is Stainless Black; do not assume that describes the inner-pot material.
Can it cook a small quantity?
The listing describes as little as half a cup, with menu-specific instructions.
