BLACK+DECKER 16-Cup Rice Cooker, RC516, 8-Cup Uncooked Rice, Steaming Basket, Removable Non-Stick Bowl, One Touch

Easy to clean, cooks any amount of rice perfectly and doesn’t take long at all. Very easy to use as well. Very smart rice cooker I love it!

I bought this on Black Friday. It is a quality simple rice cooker/steamer. Standard "Cook / Heat" switch. Automatically switches to "Heat" when the cooking is done. The inner rice pan is ceramic lined so the rice doesn't stick as it can with steel or aluminum. It does a fine job of cooking rice (I recommend a little bit more water than in the recipe book). If you're cooking a smaller amount of rice you can put the steam tray in the top and add some meat or veggies and cook an entire meal at the same time. It comes with a "rice measuring cup" (smaller than a regular cup) and a rather nice, well-made plastic spoon. You can also use this to cook soups, stews, oatmeal or similar items. I'm pleased with the purchase.

I'm in love with this rice cooker. Is fast, silent, easy to use, light, elegant. Cooks perfect rice, doesn't stick at the bottom.

I was replacing a Cuisinart rice cooker (my second over the years) and thought I’d try something more budget-friendly. On paper, this BLACK+DECKER model looked comparable. In reality… not even close. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating kitchen appliance experiences I’ve had in a while. Let’s start with the instructions—somehow both overly complicated and unhelpful at the same time. Between two adults with plenty of cooking experience, we couldn’t make sense of them and had to turn to a video just to get going. Then came the cooking process… which seemed to go on forever. And ever. And ever. We’re talking nearly an hour for rice, during which time the cooker also decided to spew water all over my counter. At one point I found myself partially covering it with a dishtowel (not exactly in the instruction manual…), just trying to contain the mess. When I finally checked the rice—well after dinner should have been served—it was still a soupy, gloppy situation. Not exactly the goal. Pros: Lower price point Large capacity Cons: Confusing, poorly written instructions Extremely long cook time Water overflow and counter mess Inconsistent, undercooked results Not comparable to more reliable brands Best for: Honestly, I’d have a hard time recommending this—especially if you’ve used a more dependable rice cooker before. Bottom line: This one is already headed back. I’ve reordered my trusty Cuisinart, which may cost more but actually cooks rice (and doesn’t redecorate my kitchen in the process). Save yourself the frustration and skip this one.

It does what I purchased it to do. I'm content with my purchase.

I haven't had a Black and Decker product for awhile, I know they are reasonable in price and quality can be fine.... longevity is sometimes a issue. I really like the Black and Decker Rice Cooker. It works just fine, cooks fast amd hasn't been inconsistent. I've used it like a small hot boiler/cooker and plan to keep trying more stuff in it. To be exact I've basically cooked only rice, but also pasta and chicken wings. Plus I've done rice casseroles; beef bouillon, cream of mushroom out of a can, garlic rice, quick jambalaya, butter milk w/ italian herb(rice-a-roni in the past called it creamy italian) and even made a reduced mushroom medley confit as a sauce prior to making some plain rice. I've used it a decent time now and I've also gotten off track. I got the thing for $19 on sale....I think some of the best sale prices you can get for a similar size is $12-15 range... those prices doen't happen often and $19 was good. Last things are the size is fairly small, best for a single person really. If your cooking for more then 2 definitely think about getting a larger size. You might want a larger size anyway since it is still basic and fairly small. My only other concern is longevity as I mentioned before sometimes Black and Deckers are known to not work for the long run. Ill have to see.

Love love love this. So easy to use, and once it done the rice stays warm . Great product to have if you eat alot of rice. Also would be great for kids going off to school because you can steam you veggie while making the rice. .

Good rice pot highly recommended.

Essa panela Black decker, e maravilhosa deixa o arroz soltinho cozimento rápido, quem comprar vai gosta assim como eu.💛

Tamaño perfecto, nada se le pega, me encantó y el tiempo de cocción si le pones pocas tazas es rápido, le puse arroz para sushi, solo dos tazas y en menos de 15 minutos ya estaba cocinado, muy recomendable

Muy práctica y funciona muy bien, el número de tazas indicado es de tamaño tipo té, ósea son tazas pequeñas, no taza de cocina. Este tamaño de olla es aproximadamente para dos tazas medidoras de cocina.

Por ahora solo la he utilizado para preparar arroz, ya que tiene otros usos. Muy fácil de operar, y el arroz, perfecto! Muy satisfecho con mi compra.

Una pena esta marca, ya no confio en sus productos, compre dos veces la misma olla y dos veces no duraron trabajando ni 4 meses. decepcionante. El mismo modelo
