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

        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.

          How to use rice cooker

          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.

It cooks food deliciously and tasty. This rice cooker is affordable and my family loves it. We are proud to have this rice cooker as a new member of our kitchen. 😊

                                            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.

I am not the best cook but still need to provide for the family. The cooker was assembled and ready to use. I read the directions and voila I'm a household name in the cooking game! I haven't tried the other options yet but I am excited to try.

                                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my six in one cooker for a couple weeks now and I can say that I am completely satisfied! It is so nice to be able to have a slow cooker, steamer, rice cooker etc in one cooking appliance. I don't have that much counter top space so being able to do away with the other appliances and replacing it with one is a big plus in my book! I love the steamer option, I made steamed broccoli and plus made a cheese sauce in the cooker! It is amazing! It's nice to throw dinner in early in the day and let the cooker do all the work all day while I do house work and play with the kids. Dinner is ready and hot when my husband gets home at the end of the day! Anything that can help simplify my hectic daily life I am all for that! I like that it comes apart easily for washing. Black and Decker is always a brand that I am not disappointed with. I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of the product. This in no way influenced my opinion.

                                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never made anything but instant rice so when I received this 6 in 1 cooker I wasn't sure how regular rice was going to turn out. It was extremely easy and it turned out perfect. I love the feature of it keeping the rice warm while your other food is cooking. I put the water, rice, butter and bouillon cube and didn't have to stir it or anything. Just wait for it to cook. Best thing is I can use it for so many other things and it won't take up as much cupboard space as if I would have to get six different appliances that do the same thing.

                                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a very small kitchen so I need small appliances that are multipurpose and space saving. That's why I love my new 6-in-1 rice and risotto cooker! Much like a slow cooker, it has a removable cooking bowl, in this case non stick metal, with measurements on the inside. It also comes with a tempered glass lid, stirring arm, pasta/steaming basket, rice measure, and serving spoon. The following function buttons make cooking easy: Rice- One of my favorite functions in the rice cooker. Simply measure your rice into the cooking bowl (using the included rice measure) and fill to the corresponding mark on the cooking bowl. Directions are included for making different amounts of rice. Place the lid on your rice cooker and press the rice button. The machine does all the work and switches to warm after the rice rests for 8 to 10 minutes. Saute- You use the saute button with the cooking bowl too. With this function, you will want to place the cooking bowl in the base unit, press the saute button, allow to preheat 3-6 minutes, and then add your food. With the nonstick lining only non metal utensils can be used. When your food is cooked, the warm function is very convenient for keeping everything at optimum temperature. Pasta- The pasta button function uses both the cooking bowl and the steamer basket. After the pasta is cooked, you can lift the steamer basket out of the cooking bowl to drain your pasta. Pasta (as a steamer) The pasta button, cooking bowl, and the steamer basket can also be used for steaming vegetables by following the directions in the included cookbook. Risotto- I have never prepared risotto, but I plan to do so as soon as possible. This feature utilizes the cooking arm and directions are included. Slow Cook- The slow cook feature utilizes the cooking bowl and functions in the same way as you would expect a slow cooker to, but it cooks on what is considered a high setting. It will cook foods for up to 8 hours before the unit switches to warm. This is just a brief summary of the functions. I have just started experimenting with my 6-in-1 Rice & Risotto Cooker, but I can already see how much time it's going to save me. The cooking bowl holds about 9 cups of food so it's perfect for my family of five. Also I am making new recipes for my family just to try all the great features. Clean up is easy with the non stick lining. I would recommend reading through the directions before you get started. Once you get the hang of it, I am sure that you will love your cooker too! I am required to mention that I did receive this 6-in-1 Rice & Risotto Cooker for purpose of review. However, my opinions are entirely my own.
