Frequently Asked Questions - RC446 BLACK & DECKER
What is the maximum rice capacity I can cook in the RC446?
You can cook up to 7 cups of uncooked rice, yielding approximately 16 cups (227 g/8 oz each) of cooked rice.
How do I use the included steaming basket?
Fill the bowl with 1.5 cups (350 mL) of water, place food in the basket, close the lid, and turn on the appliance. Check doneness after 5 minutes. The appliance will not automatically switch to keep warm without rice.
Why does my rice stick or burn at the bottom of the bowl?
This can happen if the water amount is insufficient or if the rice stays too long in keep warm mode. Use the water marks inside the bowl and stir the rice after 30 minutes of keep warm. A crust may form; remove it with a plastic spoon.
Can I cook soups or stews in this rice cooker?
Yes, the RC446 is versatile and can cook soups and stews. Use recipes of one hour or less, boneless meat cut into 1.5 cm cubes, and add frozen vegetables near the end. Do not exceed the 'Max' line and use a timer.
How do I clean the RC446 rice cooker?
Unplug the appliance and let it cool. Wash the bowl, lid, spatula, measuring cup, and basket in warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
What should I do if the switch does not stay in the cook position?
Check that the bowl is making proper contact with the heating plate. Turn it slightly. Ensure the plate and bowl are clean and dry. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
What types of rice can I cook and with what cooking times?
The included cooking guide covers white, brown, parboiled, short grain, and wild rice. For example, for 4 cups of long-grain white rice, use the water mark 4 and expect 25 to 27 minutes of cooking.
How do I know when the rice is cooked?
The appliance automatically switches to keep warm mode. The 'Cook' light turns off and the 'Keep Warm' light turns on. Let it rest for 15 minutes with the lid closed before serving.
Can I order replacement parts for the RC446?
Yes, you can order parts such as lid (RC436-01), bowl (RC426-05), measuring cup (RC426-30), spatula (RC426-31), basket (RC436-02), and condensation collector (RC436-03) by calling 1-800-738-0245 (USA/Canada).
What should I do if steam escapes from the vent during cooking?
This is normal. Do not place the appliance under cabinets and keep hands away from the vent to avoid burns. The vent allows steam to escape.
