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

A great item it it cooks rice perfectly and also allows you to steam vegetables. It’s easy to clean and very quick.

Perfect rice. Steamer basket is big for chicken tenders or broccoli. This is my second one. Love this device

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 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.

Works great and it serves my entire family and some.

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.

Great little cooker, ex to use and rice is perfect.

Perfect rice every time. Very simple to use and doesn't stick or burn. Now If there was just a reminder to push the button down to start it... LOL

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

Não gostei da consistência do arroz ! No fundo da panela, ele fica todo grudado e a panela é muito fina e leve em comparação às outras , inclusive as mais baratas

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.
