Black & Decker RC436 16-Cup Rice Cooker, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Salton rice cooker finally gave out after 8 years of use, and I replaced it with the Black & Decker Rice Cooker Plus. The good points are it is quite easy to use and can cook rice quite well. The disappointment to me is the cleanup.
Having used the Salton, I am accustomed to the starchy steam these types of cookers produce but I find this cooker to be messier than my Salton was. It "spits" all over its top, handles and even the surrounding coutertop are and floor (I have to line with paper towels to catch some of the sputter). I've tried rinsing the rice first and the performance was the same.
It is a big plus that the rice container itself is nonstick, but the lid takes some scrubbing, not just a light wash. I suppose this is a good value for the price I paid (under $30), but I think I may be upgrading soon to avoid that sticky mess.

Take the guesswork out of making perfect rice with this easy-to-use rice cooker. The handy appliance offers an 7-cup uncooked-rice capacity and can produce up to 16 cups of cooked rice at a time--great when gathering with friends or cooking for the whole family. Simply add dry rice, measure in the water, and turn the unit on. Once the rice has fully cooked, the appliance automatically switches over to keep-warm mode, which maintains an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking. In addition, the unit's see-through glass lid keeps in heat and moisture and makes it possible to check on food without releasing steam, while its dishwasher-safe nonstick cooking pan makes cleanup a snap. Other highlights include "cook" and "warm" indicator lights, steam vents and a condensation catcher, a stay-cool lid knob and side handles for comfortable transport, and a modern-looking design that will look nice on any kitchen counter. A rice scoop that stores on board and a measuring cup come included. The rice cooker measures approximately 10 by 10 by 8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Oster 4715 Multi-Use 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Food Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We received this rice cooker as a Christmas gift and replacement for one broken on our move back from Korea. Immediately, we had issues. I found it almost impossible to make decent, wet or sticky rice without burning the bottom. The warmer feature always burned the bottom, making it useless. After a month or so, the seal on the lid broke, unexplainably, and we had to jury rig it to make it work. Finally, in May, the whole thing just quit working one night. We make a lot of rice and maybe this thing wasn't meant for every or every other day use. I don't know, but I do not recommend it!

Aroma ARC-998 8-Cup Digital Rice Cooker & Food Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased my Aroma rice cooker at Target as I love rice. I originally bid on a much more expensive one on ebay but was outbid even at $120. Anyhow, I was at Target, saw this one and thought...what the heck. I followed directions to make 4 cups of brown rice. I hit the brown rice button and that was it. One hour and 45 minutes later I ate what I consider to be the best brown rice I have ever had. It didn't stick together as you get at fine restaurants, and it was fluffy. I loved it! The best feature (I think) about this machine is that when your rice is cooked, it automatically switches over to keep warm setting. Therefore, you can never overcook it. If you undercook it it's only because you didn't allow it to cook for the time the instructions tell you to. I am now so glad that I purchased this one. I paid $35 for it versus the $120 I would have paid for the Zojirushi 3 cup rice cooker.

(More customer reviews)my roommate had the ten-cup version of this. it was super fancy and had a brown rice button. and was just way too big. so when he moved out, i got this little cooker. it's marvelous. it does everything the larger version does (including making brown rice), but it also has a removable inside cover, which makes clean up easier, and it takes up less space! i never need to make more than four cups of rice at a time, so it's perfect for me.

Aroma ARC-737G 7-Cup Rice Cooker & Food Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My sister and I both own this rice cooker and it works great. My only suggestion is that it tends to make a mess of your countertop (steam creates a "coating" on countertop) but that can easily be resolved by putting a small dishtowel under the cooker during use. This cooker even cooks brown rice perfectly which I always found difficult to accomplish stovetop. I would purchase it again.

Aroma ARC-838TC 8-Cup Digital Rice Cooker & Food Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the fourth rice cooker I have owned and it is by far and away the best. The rice cooks right every time. The manual does give a guide of how much water to add for different types of rice but I have found that even when I screw up and do not use the right amount of water the rice has turned out pretty good.
I enjoy the fact that the device has a sealed top which really seems to help the rice be more consistent and also makes me feel better having this unit used with three small children in the house running around. The rice receptacle inside is a delightful non-stick surface that is more then easy to clean. The steam feature for other items works wonderful as well. I have left rice in the device for over two hours after cooking and it is still moist, tasty and not burnt. The one touch button cooking is a breeze and for me it takes about 30 minutes or so in most instances for the quantity I cook.
The only thing I learned I had to do is not place the device under anything when cooking. There is a starchy steam that is released during cooking that can coat wood and other surfaces. On wood this starch coating can be a pain to remove.
This is a great device to cook an entire meal or side in quick mindless ease. I can't think of a feature I would change on this unit. A great device that actually has increased the amount of rice and vegetables I and my family consume. Unless you need larger quantities of rice then this device is capable of I really can't see why anyone would need anything else. This is a great product at a great price. Wonderful!
