the measure cup include with the Black & Decker Automatic Rice Cooker that I purchase be not the measure cup picture on the box nor be it the one picture in the instruction manual . the instruction manual state `` measure desire amount of rice to be cook use rice measure provide ; do not use 1-cup measure cup . -lrb- the rice measure provide hold 2\/3 cup uncooked rice - about 5 oz . or 140 gram . -rrb- '' the measure cup that be include with the rice cooker I purchase do not have a 2\/3 cup graduation on it . there be graduation on the side of the cup of 1\/4 , 1\/2 and 3\/4 . there be no graduation at the top of the cup . I be guess it hold one cup total . anyway , as there be no 2\/3 cup graduation on the measure cup provide I be leave wonder what quantity of rice I be suppose to use . be I suppose to fill the measure cup provide to the top or should I use my own trusty 2\/3 cup measure cup . as note above the instruction manual clearly state `` do not use 1-cup measure cup . '' I be sure with some experimentation I could get the rice to water ratio just the way I like it . however , I feel that I should not have to experiment with it to get it to cook the rice correctly . I can not testify as to how the unit cook rice or to it be durability as I be return it unused . I could not decide on how many star to give this rating . I be give it three star as I can not recommend whether you should buy this rice cooker or not as I have not actually use it . however , if you be willing to experiment with the rice to water ratio this may the the rice cooker for you . good Luck .
