Find the water needed for a chosen rice-to-water ratio.
Multiplying the rice by the ratio gives the water, and the total is the cooked pot volume before absorption. Different rice types absorb different amounts of water, so matching the ratio to the variety avoids mushy or crunchy results.
Water to Rice Ratio
Water = rice x water ratio; servings ~ rice x 2
