BLACK+DECKER Rice Cooker 6-Cup (Cooked) with Steaming Basket, Removable Non-Stick Bowl, White

I decided to try out a rice cooker to see if it was a better way to cook rice than with just a pot on the stove. I wanted just a basic cooker, so I bought this one. It works well if you're just looking for a basic cooker at an inexpensive price. It doesn't have all the features more expensive cookers have, but it still does a nice job with cooking rice. The cleanup afterwards is easy. The only feature that would have made this unit even better would have been a timer, so I just use a kitchen timer. I haven't tried steaming vegetables in it yet, but I think it will do a good job based on my experience with cooking rice.

This rice cooker makes me happy every time I use it. It's one of the best small appliances I've ever bought. I *absolutely* would buy this again! It's the right size--fits on the counter, makes enough for 2-3 generous servings, easy & compact to store. It's flexible--Brown rice, white rice, sushi, rice+quinoa, rice with veggies, veggie steamer, rice casseroles/pilafs/risotto, oatmeal. Easy & fast to clean--either in the sink or in the dishwasher. Time Saver--no more hovering over a pot & tweaking temperatures to steam my rice properly. IMPORTANT: Follow the instructions!!! & results are consistently great. Only 2 gripes: The steamer basket & rice paddle. They're plastic, so I swapped them for a silicone spatula & steel steamer (personal preferences).

So this is only my second use in this product. I did notice that a lot of reviews say that the durability is trash if that comes up, I will edit my review but for now it’s exactly what I needed. It’s just me and my son I’m not allowed to eat as much rice so it’s a perfect size. I do wish that I had got the one just a little bit bigger for when I do want to do bigger things of rice but that’s OK. I just wanted to test it out. I do recommend that if you don’t like your rice so mushy to do a half a cup less than it recommends. The shut off feature is precise that switches it to warm after the rice is done cooking. It’s nice and fluffy once I figured out how much water to put to my rice to my liking I mean with any product you have to be careful with it. I’m hoping it doesn’t break because I do like it, but we’ll see what happens and like I said I’ll come back to rewrite my review if anything happens for now it’s a great product and I think it’s a wonderful addition to my little tiny makeshift kitchen.

This is the perfect size for my family of 4. It cooks the rice perfectly every time. Be sure to rinse your rice really well first to avoid clumps.

Easy to use/ easy to store. It is well-made and nice looking on countrr. Steams rice perfectly. I like the stay warm option.

I've thought about buying a Rice Cooker for a long time...Just didn't want another appliance to clutter up the countertop. I bought this exact $20 Cooker for my son and thought I'd try one myself since he liked his so much. For $20 how can you go wrong? My wife loves it. Perfect price and perfect rice every time without watching over it. It's a winner!

Solid construction, dependable performance, and accurate off switch timer. A lot of product for the money.

It’s a great little rice cooker! It’s quick and easy. Rice is perfect! Keeps it nice and warm.
