What do the scale lines on the inner pot of the Xiaomi Multifunctional Rice Cooker 1.5L represent?

The scale lines on the inner pot of the Xiaomi Multifunctional Rice Cooker 1.5L serve to guide both rice and porridge cooking. These lines differentiate between rice and porridge settings, adjusting for varying thickness in porridge consistency. By following the rice-to-water ratios indicated on the inner pot, users can achieve their desired porridge or congee texture.
The scale lines denote water levels, each corresponding to the number of rice measuring cups, with each cup holding a maximum of 160g of rice. Actual measurements slightly differ due to variations in rice types. A standard cup of rice can yield approximately 2 bowls (12cm diameter), suitable for 1-2 servings.
Note:
1. The maximum rice cooking scale reaches 3 cups, while for porridge, it indicates up to 1/2 cup of rice.
2. Avoid adding water beyond the designated cup level scale line to ensure optimal cooking results.
