00743 11 40 C 11 55. 007431 69 40 69 C 47. Equivalents How frustrating is it when you’re cooking dinner from a great recipe you found in your pasta roni instructions cooking magazine that says you need 2 cups of cooked rice but you have no idea how much dry rice that takes.
Or what if you need to know how many cups of cooked macaroni yields from 1 cup of dry macaroni? I’ve been there so I created this helpful list of rice and pasta conversions and equivalents I think will help all home cooks. I know I’ll be referring to it often. The question most often asked about pasta is how much dry pasta do you cook per person? This really depends on a bunch of factors including the type of pasta, how it is served, what it is served with and who are you serving it to. According to the pasta manufacturer Barilla, 2 ounces of dry pasta is the right amount per person.
That sounds right if the pasta is a side dish to a chicken or meat entry or if you are serving it as a small plate appetizer. 4 people or 4 ounces per person. That seems like a lot of pasta to me. I typically cook a pound box of pasta like penne or a pound package of spaghetti or fettuccine for the four of us, but there are usually leftovers at the end of the meal.
4 ounces per person depending on what type of eater you are feeding should work out nicely. Another way you’ll see long pasta like spaghetti or angle hair presented in cookbooks and on the internet is in diameter. 2 ounces dry spaghetti or 1 cup cooked. I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember the last time I measured out the circumference of my pasta before cooking. I have seen those spaghetti measuring tools you can purchase that have different sized wholes in them to use to measure out circumference, I think I even have one somewhere in the drawer but it rarely sees the light of day. Maybe I need to give it a try.
Like pasta servings, this depends on if you are you serving it as a side dish or as the main dish with other ingredients added to it. It also depends on who you are serving it to. And then it depends on who you ask. Many recipes I see call for about 1 cup of cooked rice per serving. I think that unless you are on a special diet, somewhere in the middle works fine. Rice to Liquid Ratio The most common ratio for rice to liquid is 1 to 2 or 1 cup rice to 2 cups of water which will yield 3 cups cooked rice. So if you were cooking 2 cups of rice, you would cook it with 4 cups of liquid to yield 6 cups of cooked rice.
I’m saying liquid here and not water even though most people cook their rice in water because you can try cooking your rice in chicken or vegetable stock for extra flavor. Assuming 1 cup of cooked rice per person. 2 cup of cooked rice per person. I’m a work-at-home dad who enjoys cooking, learning everything I can about the culinary world and sharing it with you. I’m assuming 1 cup of rice per person. 2 cup will determine the yield per person. Karen, I would have to see the recipe before I could say if the rice is cooked or not but 1 cup of uncooked rice weighs around 175-185 grams so if the rice is uncooked, you are talking about 2 cups of rice.
1 cup of cooked rice weighs about 195-200 grams so you would need about 1. I must say a typical weekday dinner I ate around 3,5 oz really, when it’s the main dish. Would one cup of uncooked quinoa yield the same amount as one cup of uncooked long grain white rice? Hi Sally, 1 cup of quinoa cooked with 2 cups of liquid yields 3 cups of cooked quinoa.
You can find conversions for grains here. Although this may be helpful for some people, this was completely useless for me. I asked a simple question and LITERALLY nobody on the internet can answer me! This is a conversation page, and its information for me is worthless. And it’s not this site alone.
I just want to know how much of a certain thing is uncooked to cooked. It shouldn’t be this freaking hard. Never mind I’ll do it my damn self since nobody can help me. Your website is literally supposed to be about conversions, I figured you would be able to help. And I’m sorry you’re getting the brunt of this. I’m just so frustrated and your headline on Google made it appear as if you’d help. And after much searching im just going to have to waste food and time and figure it out myself.
I hope you can help other people because none of this was helpful to me. I have no idea what you are asking for. The charts show both rice and pasta conversions of uncooked to cooked. And two, I thought the way you asked for help was extremely rude.
Sorry you are not getting what you want but I have no idea what that is. Thank you for all this info. I’m about to attempt cooking crawfish etouffee for 400 people for a church festival. My first question was answered here in how to figure out the rice conversions.
