I need your help!

Hi! If you have a digital metric/ounces scale, measuring cups, rice cooker and Japanese rice...I need your help!

I'm working on the second draft of The Cookbook at the moment, which is where we fix things like accurate measurements. However, I'm on the road and dont have access to a kitchen. So, I need your help with something!

If you have a digital metric/ounces scale, measuring cups, rice cooker and Japanese style (Japonica, sushi) rice - can you take a few moments and do this:

  • Measure out 1 rice cooker cup of Japanese rice and see how many mililiters that is (it should be 180ml)
  • Now, weigh that rice with a digital scale and tell me how many grams and ounces that is
  • Bonus: Measure 1 U.S. cup (which is about 240ml) and tell me how much that weighs in grams and ounces
  • (and only if you are curious) - See if 1 rice cooker cup of another rice, say basmati, arborio, jasmine, etc...weighs the same as Japanese rice!

Please report back your results in the comments here! I really appreciate it!!
