Black & Decker RC550 rice cooker in white with black accents and a glass lid.

This cooker was very disapointing. Left unattended for cooking time (45 min.) it spit pasty rice steam all over the counter, toaster and above cupboards which is hard to get off when dry. Did not matter how much water you put in.

Rice cookers are great...that is if you get the right one. After wearing out our first one, we bought this one thinking the non-stick surface would be nice. Bad mistake. It is easy to clean...it just doesn't cook consistently. We've tried various amounts of water and we finally decided to toss this one over the fence and buy a new one.

I have purchased this rice cooker twice. The first year it burned out, literally. I purchased another one and the same thing happened this morning, almost a year later.
Pros: It is extremely easy to use, easy to clean, and is inexpensive.
Cons: Do not use this product under cabinetry. It will cause moisture stains/damage, even if the cabinetry is mounted high. Foam will bubble out of the cooker and onto the counter. The life expectancy of this cooker is only 1 year with moderate to heavy use.
