Uncooked to Cooked Rice Calculator

The standard conversion ratio is 1:3 — meaning 100g of uncooked rice yields approximately 300g of cooked rice. In cups, 1 cup of uncooked rice produces roughly 3 cups of cooked rice. Simply multiply your uncooked amount by 3 to get the cooked result.

Yes! To reverse the calculation, divide your desired cooked rice amount by 3. For example, if you want 600g of cooked rice, you'll need approximately 200g of uncooked rice. This calculator handles that reverse conversion automatically.

Using the standard 1:3 ratio, 2 cups of uncooked rice will yield approximately 6 cups of cooked rice. This is enough to serve around 6 people as a side dish or 4 people as a main course.

3 cups of cooked rice came from approximately 1 cup of uncooked rice. Dividing the cooked amount by 3 gives you the original uncooked quantity.

Yes, the formula is: Cooked Rice = Uncooked Rice × 3. For the reverse: Uncooked Rice = Cooked Rice ÷ 3. This applies to both grams and cups, making conversions straightforward regardless of how you measure.

Rice absorbs a significant amount of water during the cooking process. Each grain soaks up roughly twice its own weight in water, causing it to swell and approximately triple in both weight and volume compared to its raw state.

As a general guideline, plan for about 75–100g (roughly ⅓ to ½ cup) of uncooked rice per person for a side dish, which yields around 225–300g of cooked rice per serving. For a main course, 100–150g uncooked per person is more appropriate.

The 1:3 ratio is a reliable average that applies to most common white rice varieties including long-grain, basmati, and jasmine. Brown rice tends to absorb slightly less water, yielding closer to 2.5 times its uncooked weight. Wild rice and specialty varieties may vary further.
