Formula
- Use the units shown beside each field.
- Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
- Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
- User-supplied absorption and evaporation assumptions. Rice type, rinsing, lid and cooking method change these values.
Example Calculation
- Dry rice mass: 200 g
- Absorbed water per gram rice: 1.5 g/g
- Expected evaporation loss: 50 g
200 g rice with absorption 1.5 g/g and expected evaporation 50 g requires 350 g water.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this calculator?
Enter dry rice mass, absorbed water per gram rice, expected evaporation loss. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.
What method does it use?
water added=rice mass × absorption ratio+evaporation loss.. User-supplied absorption and evaporation assumptions. Rice type, rinsing, lid and cooking method change these values.
Why might a rounded result differ?
The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
Are my inputs saved online?
No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
