The Ultimate Size Guide: Liters vs. Family Members
The most common question we get is: "Which size is best for a family of 4?" buying the wrong size means either uncooked rice or wasting electricity.
Here is the standard calculation for Nepali households (assuming 2 meals a day):
| Rice Cooker Size |
Capacity (Cooked Rice) |
Ideal Family Size |
| 1.0 Liter |
Approx. 4–5 cups |
Students / Couples (1–2 People) |
| 1.8 Liters |
Approx. 8–10 cups |
Small Family (3–4 People) Most Popular |
| 2.2 Liters |
Approx. 10–12 cups |
Medium Family (5–6 People) |
| 2.8 Liters+ |
Approx. 14+ cups |
Joint Family / Parties (7+ People) |
Pro Tip: If you frequently have guests, it is better to buy one size larger (e.g., 2.2L instead of 1.8L).
Rice Cooker Buying Guide & FAQs
Q: Can I cook Momos in a rice cooker?
A: Yes! Almost all rice cookers at Sinja come with an aluminum or plastic steamer tray. Simply pour water into the main pot, place your momos on the greased steamer tray on top, close the lid, and switch to "Cook." Your momos will be ready in 15–20 minutes.
Q: What is the difference between "Cook" and "Warm" mode?
A:
-
Cook: The device heats at full power to boil water and cook the rice.
-
Warm: Once the water evaporates, the sensor automatically clicks to "Warm." This keeps your rice hot (around 65°C) for hours without burning it, so you can eat fresh rice even if you cooked it hours ago.
Q: How to clean the inner pot properly?
A: The inner pot usually has a non-stick coating or is made of aluminum. Never use steel wool (juni) to scrub it, as this will scratch the surface and cause rice to stick later. Use a soft sponge and warm soapy water.
