Rice can weigh from around two and a half to three times the original weight after cooking,<strong> which means the cooked weight can vary more than an uncooked weight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>White Rice Weights Before and After Cooking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The general rule for rice weights before and after cooking is that rice weighs around three times the amount of the original dried weight once cooked in water. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did some of my own research to test this theory, where I cooked a 75g serving of white rice following pack instructions.  The results were that the 75g portion increased in weight to 214g, which is around 2.9 times the original weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proves that, as an approximate guide, the 1 to 3 ratio works well for white rice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking.png\" alt=\"white Rice before and after cooking\" class=\"wp-image-612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking.png 900w, https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking-768x341.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking.png.webp\" alt=\"white Rice before and after cooking\" class=\"wp-image-612 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking.png.webp 900w, https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking-300x133.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking-768x341.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/white-Rice-before-and-after-cooking.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Brown Rice Weights Before and After Cooking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because brown rice is a whole grain, it takes longer to cook and absorb water through the outer husk of the grain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tested the before and after cooking weights of easy-cook brown rice and, for this measurement, weighed out 75g of uncooked brown rice and cooked it as per pack instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The 75g serving of brown rice once cooked using pack instructions, weighed 175g which is 2.3 times the original weight.
