I'm buying a rice cooker but I can't decide what size.
Mostly when we cook rice it is for two people (one and a half when you take into account how much one of them eats compared to a regular person). So most of the time I suppose a 3-cup cooker will be adequate.
But if we happen to have four for dinner that won't be big enough, so maybe I should get a 5-cup or 5.5-cup cooker, to have a bit more flexibility in the quantity cooked.
I've heard that if there's too much difference between the capacity of the cooker and the amount of rice actually cooked that the appliance doesn't work well - but I'm not sure how much is "too much difference". Will the 5-cup or 5.5-cup cooker work well cooking rice for 2 people? Are there other reasons to avoid the larger one?
