Black & Decker RC400 7-Cup Rice Cooker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Manual
I need a manual for a Black & Decker RC400 7-Cup Rice Cookerce cooker
Recieved one as a gift
Check this procedure:
* Before cooking, rinse rice in warm water until water becomes clear. Then place the rice in the inner pot with fresh water.
* Take care to use proper water to rice ratios.
* Use a 1:1 ratio of rice to water plus ½ cup of water for white rice and a 1:1 ratio plus ¾ cup of water for brown rice.
TIPS:
# You may wish to tweak the "rice to water ratio" with experience - for example: for larger quantities of rice, you may find a little less or more than one and a half the amount of water results in better rice.
# One cup of dry rice grains cooked in this way is about sufficient to accompany a meal for 2 adults.
# If the rice is a major component of the dish, you might need up to 1 cup of rice per adult.
# Your base measurement doesn't need to be a cup necessarily - the key is to add 1.5x as much water as rice, whatever the quantity.
# It works best to use the original lid of the pot you use, since it will seal best.
# When the rice first boils, it might weep a bit or even lift the lid. Keep watch and an ear out for the start of the boil.
# These times and ratios are for white rice (e.g. Jasmine, Basmati, etc). If you are cooking brown rice you will need around 2C water to 1C rice and double the time.
# Salt is not necessary when cooking rice, but can be added. Unless you add a ridiculous amount of salt it will not significantly change the boiling temperature or time.
# Water boils at a lower temperature at altitude. If you live at a high altitude it will take longer to cook rice using this method.
I hope help with this (remember to rate this answer).
Can I plug this cooker into an Asian 220V 60Hz
If you put 220 into your cooker, it will destroy the heating element probably in a few seconds if not instantly.
The heating element is a simple nichrome wire resistor and will not tolerate dissipating twice as much heat.
Instructions
hope you have figured out the ratios but in case you haven't--here are the ratios. The white rice is measured by 3/4 cups. I put three 3/4 cups of white rice in the cooker then add water to the number 3 line--this works great. I had misplaced the rice cooker measuring cup for about a year but found it this morning and sure enough it is the same as 3/4 cup. good luck
I need a rc400 cup
Most rice measures are the same. You might be able to find one at an Asian market.
My rice measure (and I think most) is 6 ounces = 3/4 of a standard cup.
My mom just gave a
you cooker should have a lever , down to cook rice , it will "pop" up when the rice is done, allow to sit 4-5 min to allow the rice to finish steaming.
2 cup med grain rice & 3 cups water yeilds about 6 cups cooked rice
No instructions
Sorry this took so long. I had the same problem, but found that the white rice is measured by 3/4 cups then fill water to the corresponding line in cooker. I use three 3/4 cups of white rice and then fill cooker to the number 3 line. The rice must be in the cooker when the water is added. Good luck.
B&D CTO9000 Handle Replacement
Hi,
it might be best to ask for a replacement compatibility appointment from Black & Decker by calling 1 (800) 544-6986. That way they can send someone out to your hour to check where you've attempting to install the handle. Or you might be able to email them the photos for the replacement area for faster results.
Thank you.
