BLACK+DECKER RC506 6-Cup Rice Cooker White

Compact Rice Cooker for Small Households

The BLACK+DECKER RC506 prepares up to six cups of cooked rice from three cups uncooked using the included ¾-cup measure. A tempered glass lid lets you monitor progress without lifting the cover. Automatic keep-warm activates once cooking finishes so rice stays ready to serve. The removable non-stick bowl and supplied steaming basket, spoon and measuring cup are all dishwasher safe.

Upgrade from Stovetop Pots

This model replaces open-pot cooking that demands constant attention and risks boil-over. The sealed 300-watt heater and steam vent deliver consistent results for white, brown or mixed grains without supervision. The jump is worth it when you want repeatable texture and the freedom to cook vegetables or fish in the basket while rice finishes below.

Steady Heat Through the Full Cycle

The 300-watt element maintains a gentle simmer until the thermal switch triggers keep-warm, avoiding the temperature spikes common with manual flame control. Steam escapes through the vent rather than pressurising the lid, so the cooker runs quietly and the exterior remains cool enough to handle. Extended keep-warm holds serving temperature without drying the top layer.
