Pros: Simple to use, cooks rice much faster than stovetop
Cons: Trial and error necessary on rice to water ratio
The Bottom Line: It cooks fast. Once you figure out how much water to use for your standard batch and type of rice, it will do the job.

| soberg's Full Review: Black & Decker RC550 10-Cup Rice Cooker |
As we all know, the ratio of raw rice to water is key. There are confusing instructions on how to make 3 cups of cooked rice...and how to make 10 cups of cooked rice. But there is no ratio given for any quantity in between. The measurements cannot be interpolated due to the odd pot markings and non-standard measuring device. Guess wrong and you end up with either rice mush or crunchy rice.
I would have much preferred seeing some reliable ratios for making rice, including variations for long grain, medium grain, short grain, brown, and wild rice.
The design is streamlined, which is good for clean up.
