How to convert ounces of white rice to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 16 oz = 454 g. One US cup of white rice weighs 185 g, so 454 ÷ 185 = 2.45 cups.
Grains settle when shaken, so pour them in loosely and level off rather than tapping the cup.

Frequently asked questions

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). In metric cups, 16 ounces of white rice is 2.32 cups.
Should I weigh white rice or measure it by volume?
Grains settle when shaken, so pour them in loosely and level off rather than tapping the cup. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
