3 cup rice cooker

A 3-cup capacity refers to uncooked rice and typically yields about 6 cups of cooked rice; many product listings state that 3 cups uncooked ≈ 6 cups cooked.

Inner pots are often stainless steel and frequently have nonstick coatings; some inner pots use multi-layer construction (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel, copper). Outer bodies and other components commonly use plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel.

Most 3-cup rice cookers include a rice measuring cup and a rice paddle. Many listings also mention an instruction manual, recipes, and a paddle holder; some models include additional measuring cups for different rice types.

These units are compact. Example heights range from about 7.5 to 8.9 inches, and weights shown range roughly from 4 pounds up to about 11.5 pounds; actual size and weight depend on features and construction.
