How many wattage to cook using a rice cooker?

Here's why:

* Wattage is the power consumption of the appliance. While a higher wattage means faster cooking, it doesn't directly correlate with the amount of rice you can cook.

* Capacity is the amount of rice the cooker can handle. This is usually measured in cups (e.g., 5-cup rice cooker).

How to choose a rice cooker:

1. Consider the number of people you cook for: A 3-cup rice cooker is ideal for 1-2 people, while a 5-cup cooker works for 3-4 people.

2. Check the wattage: While not the most crucial factor, higher wattage cookers heat up faster. A typical range is 400-800 watts.

3. Look for features: Some rice cookers have additional functions like steaming, slow cooking, or a keep-warm setting.

In short, focus on the rice cooker's capacity to determine how much rice you can cook. The wattage is important for heating speed but not for the amount of rice it can handle.
