I steam rice using 1 cup uncooked rice to 1 cup water = 3 cups cooked rice. Exception: when cooking wild rice I use 1-1/4 cup water. Found this useful website that gives yields of uncooked to cooked of many foods: http://extension.missouri.edu/explore/miscpubs/mp0563_01.htm
One cup of uncooked wild rice will produce two cups of rice when cooked.
Dry rice absorbs approximately twice its own weight in water as it is cooked so you can expect a 25 gram service of rice to become a 75 gram portion once cooked, depending on the type of rice and how long it is cooked.
Rice absorbs twice its own volume of water in the cooking process so 1.25 cups of dry rice will make 3.75 cups of cooked rice.
rice when cooked doubles eg: 1 cup uncooked rice ==2 cups cooked
a 2.25 quart container should hold a little over 2 quarts of cooked rice.
Quinoa is closely related to semolina and rice in the way that it can be cooked. Like those it absorbs liquid when cooked and so the best way is to put it into water or milk that is beginning to boil and wait until it is cooked.

Dry rice usually expands to 3 times its normal size. So, 1 pound of cooked rice divided by 3 equals 1/3 of a pound of dry rice needed.
White rice is usually cooked at a ratio of 1 part dry rice by volume to 2 parts water or other cooking liquids such as broth or stock for 16-20 minutes at a low simmer tightly covered. With brown rice, increase the liquid to 2 1/2 parts to 1 part rice and cook for 35-45 minutes until tender. Wild rice is cooked like pasta, in lots of liquid at a low boil until the kernels start to open, usually about 30-45 minutes.
All rice increases in volume when cooked.
1 cup cooked long grain rice equals 3.5 grams of fiber, 216 calories, and 44.8 carbs.
