I have this problem with measuring 3 measley cups of rice for the rice cooker. Even if I count out loud, there's a small chance I have to start over. It's like my brain gets lost in a 5-second time loop between "2" and "3". I suddenly have the attention span of a squirrel.
I had to make 6 cups of rice a while ago, fairly certain now that I only put in 5 and filled the water up to 6.
You should check out the finger method. You'll never have to worry about having the correct ratios again.
That's how I learned and it's fantastic when my kids "help". I never know whether we did 4 or 6 cups (we aim for 5) because they keep doing little half scoops. So I guess and use the finger method after rinsing the rice. Perfect rice every time.
