White Rice (Uncooked) – oz to grams
Rice is the ingredient where measurement errors are most unforgiving: messing up the water-to-rice ratio leads to crunchy or mushy results. Remember: 1 cup of raw rice yields about 3 cups of cooked rice. Weighing your dry grain is the first critical step to achieving that perfect, fluffy restaurant-quality texture.

FAQ
- Should I rinse rice before weighing?
- Weigh it dry FIRST. Rinsing adds water weight. However, do rinse it after weighing to remove excess surface starch, which prevents the rice from becoming gummy/sticky.
- Does short-grain weigh the same as long-grain?
- They are very close in density (approx 185-200g per cup), but short-grain packs slightly tighter. For general cooking, the same weight conversion works, but water ratios will differ.
