What to do if some rice is not cooked in Black & Decker Rice Cooker?

  If some kernels of rice do not seem fully cooked in your Black & Decker Rice Cooker, it could be because the rice was not allowed to finish cooking or there was not enough water in the cooking bowl. Once the rice cooker automatically switches to keep warm, allow the rice to rest for 15 minutes before serving. If that doesn't work, add a few more tablespoons of water and cook a little longer by pushing the control switch back to cook. Check the rice again when the appliance automatically switches back to warm and has rested for 15 minutes.

  If your Black & Decker Rice Cooker bowl is not as clean as you'd like, it's likely due to starch buildup. Fill the bowl with hot soapy water and let it stand for several minutes. Then, use a nylon scrubber along the sides and bottom, and rinse well.

Why does my Black & Decker RC516 Rice Cooker boil over?

  Jennifer LeonAug 10, 2025
  Your Black & Decker Rice Cooker might be boiling over because you are cooking too much rice. Ensure you do not exceed the maximum amount suggested in the Use and Care Manual and that the rice amount aligns with the water markings on the bowl. Another cause might be too much water for the amount of rice. Try adding a small amount (1 Tbs.) of butter or oil to the water before cooking.

  If your rice is gummy when using the Black & Decker Rice Cooker, it could be due to too much water or not enough rice. To fix this, add water to match the water markings on the rice bowl. Ensure you have the correct ratio of ¾ cup (6 fluid oz) rice to 1 cup water marking.

  If the rice is too dry in your Black & Decker Rice Cooker, it could be because there is too much rice or not enough water. Use the rice measuring cup that comes with the appliance, as it holds ¾ cup (6 fluid oz.) of uncooked rice.
