Black & Decker Handy Steamer & Rice Cooker Review Summary

This isn't just a one trick cooker, with the Black & Decker Handy Steamer & Rice Cooker you can not only cook rice easily and quickly, but also steam cook many other foods like vegetables. One person even has used it for meats too! It is easy to use and clean up and considered by our reviewers a "must have" in the kitchen. The favorite feature on this steamer and rice cooker is the timer, helping cooking reviewers not only cook and time their meals for family and guests but also keep food warm until everyone comes to the table. Pitcherday says, "I have steamed fish, scallops, clams, hot dogs, any and all kinds of vegetables, including root vegetables that have been sliced thinly." Nrfranci is impressed with the handy "side" recipes, "It has the most common veggies written on the side with recommended water level and times for steaming so that you never have to get out an instruction book - plus it adds tips for what herbs to use if you want to kick it up a notch!" Although reviewers love this Kitchen-Appliances , they do warn that it is easy to get burned, so be sure to use caution and keep out of reach of children.

My cousin's husband works for Black & Decker. I knew I was getting something B & D for my wedding present. I was right. It was the Black & Decker Flavor Scenter handy steamer and rice cooker. I used that for almost every meal that I cooked for nine long years, until all the water started coming out of the bottom all over the counter. I was devastated when he died. How could I cook vegetables, meat, seafood, and rice in a healthy manner anymore? There is no other way to cook spinach or turnip greens!

I went on a hard target search of any store that sold small appliances in the city of Colorado...

I went to my friends house for dinner and saw the Black & Decker Handy Steamer & Rice Cooker in use on the kitchen counter. I don't know what planet I have been living on, but I had never seen an electric steamer until just then! I always pictured the metal steaming pots you use on the stove. Anyways, I was totally amazed at what it could do so I went out and bought one that very same weekend.

I don't know what I would do without my Black & Decker Handy Steamer now that I have been using it for so long. I love that it is easy to use - just add water to the water tray and turn it on! It...

our most used appliance

have had my Black & Decker steamer/rice cooker for a couple of months now. Got it as a replacement for my old one that I gave to my college daughter, We have used this more than we ever used our other one. Not only is it great for making rice, I love that I can steam veggies at the same time and have a meal ready in less than 30 min.

Use it all the time - cleans up fast - sometimes use it more than once for one meal! Both me and my boyfriend LOVE it. It has the most common veggies written on the side with recommended water level and times for steaming so that you never have to get out an instruction book - plus it adds tips for what herbs to use if you want to kick it up a notch!
