Question 1

Can you make a lesser amount than the full 6 cups (not fill the cooker).

Accepted Answer

I usually make 2-3 cups.  Never filled it up to 6 and I've been using it for 5 years.  I think the most I used was 4 cups and it seemed really full to me.Hope that helps

Question 2

Can I make Tahchin with it? Or the yougurt egg tahdig?

Accepted Answer

Can somebody expand on the above? Is it that I make the rice first with water and salt, and then when the water is gone strain it carefully into a collander, mix up the egg/yogurt/butter or oil/saffron or tumeric and put it at the bottom of the pan, add the rice carefully on top, and turn the machine back on? If that's it, for how long do you cook it after the rice is returned? Can somebody please explain this a bit better with amounts for some amount of rice (4 cups or whatever) and times and more specific procedure? Thanks.

Question 3

A wider pot means more tadig, how wide are these pots? If I make two cups of dry rice, shoulď I buy a 7 cup or 10 cup?

Accepted Answer

This size cooks two cups of dry rice for the two of us. Sometimes a little left over. But I would way it is enough for two people. A 7 cup or 10 cup rice cooker makes enough rice for a party. Plus if two put 2 cups of dry rice in that large of a rice cooker, all you get is tahdig.

Question 4

How do i make green rice ( polo sabzi ) with this rice cooker?

Accepted Answer

@M. Shahsavar, How long do you boil the water? 10 minutes? I assume in the hottest setting? then drain?  How much water do you add back in?  What temp do we turn on the cooker back on at? 40 minutes setting?  I've had a Pars cooker for years and I find it hard to get good details for cooking because all of my Persian friends tell me that they do it and don't think about it. But when you are not raised in a Persian household; it is impossible to do it on your own. Thanks
