Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival RC165 16-Cup Rice Cooker, Red
Customer Review: Easy to use rice maker
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband is Colombian and when I met him I didn't eat rice much and when I tried cooking it, it never came out real great. He introduced me to rice cookers because in his culture they eat rice a couple days each week. We owned the Rival 6 Cup Rice Maker first but it wouldn't feed more than four people. So we got this one the 16 Cup Rice Maker for our wedding and we can now feed more than 8 people.
I was confused as to the 16 cup label, I don't think it means you can make 16 cups of rice, in fact I am sure it doesn't. It means the container itself can hold 16 cups or is 16 cups in size. You are supposed to put more cups of water than cups of rice.
I will recommend that you do check on the rice while it is cooking because sometimes (when very full) it might boil over. There is a little whole in the lid to prevent this from happening, but it seems to not be doing its job sometimes. We put the lid on an angle to prevent any boiling over and that has been working well for us.
It is really easy for us to make rice with any meal. We add salt (for flavor), oil (so it's not too sticky), and Goya Sazon (more flavor). It comes with a steamer so if you would like to steam vegetables it is really easy to add the steam basket to the top and cook rice at the same time. I love how easy it is to clean up to. The rice basket is removable and it can be thrown in the dishwasher. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to make rice for their family on a regular basis, if you plan on serving more than 10 people regularly I would buy a larger one. I think Rival is a great brand to go with.
