Black & Decker RC436 16-Cup Rice Cooker, White Reviews
| 39 of 40 people found the following review helpful  Follow the instructions! (updated), By This review is from: Black & Decker RC436 16-Cup Rice Cooker, White (Kitchen) This rice cooker works perfectly if you just follow its instructions. Ignore other reviewers' advice to follow instructions on the rice package and their complaints that it sprays slime all over your kitchen. The first is what causes the second. It sprays only if you use too much water, but if you follow the cooker's instructions (which use much less water than the rice's own instructions), the most mess you will ever get will be at the lid's vent hole - nowhere else.I have made many batches using the maximum seven cups of uncooked rice, and the results have been perfect rice with no mess beyond the lid itself (which is NOT hard to wash, by the way) each time. It's true that the rice gets slightly toasty on the bottom of the pot, but practically all rice cookers do that, and the toasty part tastes good anyway. UPDATE: I am copying a comment here that I posted originally under another review and then copied under most of the other reviews that complain...

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. 17 of 20 people found the following review helpful  Very messy!, By This review is from: Black & Decker RC436 16-Cup Rice Cooker, White (Kitchen) This model makes exceptional and easy rice. But whoever the idiot was that decided it needed a carb (hole) should be reprimanded. Previous models with a bubbling lid worked just fine and avoided having a starchy mess all over your counter and floor area. I suggest lining the surrounding counter with damp towels, and one on the floor as well before turning this messy machine on. |
