        Most likely this would be the ideal product for your intended usage. It has numerous uses for most any types of recipes.

        By|Aug 3, 2020

        Thank you for your interest in this Black + Decker rice cooker. For preparing oatmeal or porridge Steel Cut Oats work best. Do not fill the bowl more than halfway with liquids, as the oatmeal will expand during the cooking process. For even heating, stir occasionally. When the oatmeal is done, the rice cooker will switch to warm. Please note that this is for well-done oatmeal. If you prefer a different consistency, monitor the cooking process to manually switch to warm for desired results. Choose recipes that will cook in one hour or less.

          Answer This Question

          Whatever amount you want cooked you put have of that when dry. You fill the metal basket/bin to the desired fill line, depending on the amount of rice you’re looking to cook. If you want 3 cups you fill it to the 3 cup line.

          By|Aug 27, 2021

            Thank you for your interest in this Black + Decker rice cooker. For using this rice cooker pour the desired number of servings into the cooking pot with the provided rice measuring cup. Next, fill the cooking pot with water to the corresponding water level. After putting the cooking pot and lid on the unit, simply press the cooking switch on the front of the appliance. The rice cooker will automatically go into a warming mode once the rice has cooked through. If you need further assistance, I’d be happy to help!

                                By|Jan 2, 2019

                                  Thank you for your interest. To steam fresh broccoli, cut the broccoli into florets. Steam using 1 to 1 ½ cups of water, stock, or vegetable broth (cold or room temperature) for about 14 to 16 minutes.

                                    There is a steamer basket that is included with the cooker that you can steam any vegetables with. The instruction booklet outlines how much time, water etc.

                                          I brought this rice cooker less than a year ago. I use this to cook rice about once a week. Just a few days ago it stopped working, it doesn't heat up nor do the indicator light work.

                                              I purchased my Black+Decker 6-cup Rice Cooker over a month ago at The Home Depot, and, since, then, I have used it quite often; moreover, I have enjoyed this product's ability to cook more than rice because this rice cooker has the flexibility to be a steamer as well; and, with this understanding, this rice cooker comes with a food steamer, a rice paddle, and a measuring cup as well, which has only enhanced my cooking experience. Howbeit, I do dislike the one temperature setting as I think this feature could be altered by developing different temperature settings for different types of rice, and steamed foods to avoid the scorching of some quickly cooked foods as this rice cooker can cook more than rice. Here, I would recommend that other owners of this product to check on foods that cooks in less than an hour to check on your meal, and stir to avoid scorching. However, despite, my dislike of the temperature settings, I still love my Black+Decker 6-cup Rice Cooker as it has totally met all of my expectations.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The rice cooker is very small, but perfect for one or two people. It seems like a wonderful gift idea for a college bound student. You can cook a variety of foods like soups and stews, not just rice with this cooker. It is so simple to use. There are very easy instructions. Just use the measuring tools provided. It is tiny so can be stored almost anywhere. It also comes with a little scoop for extra convenience. To make a cup of rice was so easy. Measure rice and water according to directions for desired amount, and put in cooker. Turn on. Walk away! Rice will be done in about 20 minutes. This is very quick. This rice cooker is perfect for anyone looking for just the right amount, in a very short time.

I love rice and with this rice cooker I do not have to make a big pot of it because it is in a personal size, which makes enough rice for me and someone else. It comes with an instructions manual, a measuring cup and a serving spoon which is great. It is so easy to use and once the rice is cooked it automatically goes into the warm setting to keep it warm. I have already made white rice more than once and it comes out so good and very fluffy.
