BLACK+DECKER 6-Cup Rice Cooker & Steamer — Ceramic Nonstick, Surf Spray
Product description
Family-sized capacity: This cooker prepares up to 6 cups of cooked rice (about 3 cups uncooked rice), making it suitable for weeknight dinners, leftovers, or meal prep.
One-touch cooking with keep-warm: A single press starts the cooking cycle and an automatic Keep Warm function holds rice at serving temperature after cooking finishes, so your meal stays ready.
Included steamer and accessories: The package includes a removable steam basket that sits above the rice pot so you can steam vegetables, seafood, dumplings, or other sides while rice cooks below. A measuring cup and rice paddle are provided for accurate portions.
Materials and design: The inner pot features a ceramic nonstick coating that’s promoted as more durable than standard nonstick finishes. The unit has cool-touch handles, a tempered glass lid with a lid-hanger for serving, and removable components that are dishwasher-safe for easier cleanup. Its pastel-painted gloss exterior offers a modern, polished look to complement countertop décor.
How it’s used: Add rice and the appropriate water amount using the supplied measure, place the inner ceramic pot inside the cooker, lower the tempered glass lid, and press the cook button. If you want to steam, place ingredients in the steam basket so they cook at the same time as the rice. Once the cycle ends the cooker switches to keep-warm automatically.
Pros
- Simple one-touch operation with auto keep-warm
- Includes a steam basket for simultaneous steaming
- Ceramic nonstick pot is easy to clean
Cons
- Inner pot is somewhat shallow for larger steaming loads
- A small number of units reported overheating issues
- Holds 3 cups uncooked (about 6 cups cooked) — not for large crowds
VerdictThis 6-cup rice cooker delivers dependable, hands-off rice cooking with the bonus of a steam basket for vegetables or seafood. The ceramic-coated pot is easy to wipe clean and the one-touch press-cook plus automatic keep-warm make it convenient for everyday use. Most users praise its build and compact footprint, though some find the inner bowl a bit shallow for simultaneous steaming and a few repo

I love the surf-spray blue and how easy it is to use. Cooking rice and steaming vegetables simultaneously saves time. Definitely recommend for the convenience and attractive design.

Capacity Smaller Than Expected
Be aware: it’s not six cups uncooked — the unit handles about three cups uncooked (roughly six cups cooked).

Sturdy, Cute, but Pot Is Shallow
After trying a few different cookers, this one feels solid and reliably cooks rice and other foods. It’s attractive and seems well made. My only gripe is the inner pot is shallower than older models, so I can’t steam as much at once.

Unit Overheated — Had to Stop Using
The unit I received became very hot during use and I felt unsafe continuing. I tried contacting support but the process was frustrating and ended with no resolution, so I discarded the cooker. Disappointing experience.

Ideal Size and Reliable Performance
This cooker is very straightforward and gives consistent results. The 6-cup finished capacity is great for a small family and the steam basket lets me cook veggies at the same time. The ceramic inner pot wipes clean easily and the keep-warm keeps rice ready without drying it out. Compact and sturdy — does the job well.
