Brentwood RC-5016W 16-Cup Cooked Rice Cooker with Steam Tray - White, 500W with Measuring Cup & Spatula

Brentwood RC-5016W 16-Cup Cooked Rice Cooker with Steam Tray

Rice that comes out right every time, without watching a pot. The Brentwood RC-5016W cooks up to 16 cups of finished rice (8 cups uncooked), then switches itself to Keep Warm so dinner waits on you instead of the other way around. The removable steam tray turns it into a two-tier cooker: fish, dumplings or vegetables steam on top while the rice finishes underneath.

What's Included

• Rice cooker base with cool-touch handles
• Removable non-stick cooking pot
• Removable steam tray
• Tempered glass lid
• Measuring cup
• Rice spatula

Key Features

• 16 Cups Cooked, 8 Cups Uncooked: Enough for a full family dinner, a party side, or a week of meal prep in one run - not a one-or-two-serving personal cooker.
• One-Touch Cook with Auto Keep-Warm: Press one lever. When the rice is done the cooker drops to Keep Warm on its own, so it holds at serving temperature without drying out or scorching.
• Removable Steam Tray: Steam salmon, dumplings, broccoli or eggs above the rice and get a whole meal out of one appliance and one outlet.
• Tempered Glass Lid: Watch the boil and the steam without lifting the lid and dumping heat, which is the fastest way to ruin a batch of rice.
• Removable Non-Stick Pot: The inner pot lifts out for cleaning, and the non-stick surface means the bottom layer of rice releases instead of welding itself down.
• Cool-Touch Handles and Indicator Lights: Carry it to the table safely, and see at a glance whether it is cooking or warming.
• More Than Rice: Also handles quinoa, oatmeal, chili, soup, steel-cut oats and rice pudding - it is a small one-pot cooker that happens to be great at rice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 16 cups cooked or uncooked?
A: Cooked. The RC-5016W holds 8 cups of uncooked rice, which yields about 16 cups of finished rice.

Q: Does the pot or steam tray go in the dishwasher?
A: Brentwood does not publish a dishwasher rating for the pot or the tray, so we cannot claim one. Hand washing the non-stick pot is the safe approach and protects the coating.

Q: Does it switch to warm on its own?
A: Yes. It has one-touch operation and moves to Keep Warm automatically when the rice is finished.

Q: Can I steam and cook rice at the same time?
A: Yes - that is what the steam tray is for. Load the rice below and the vegetables, fish or dumplings above; the rising steam cooks both.

Q: What are the exact dimensions and weight?
A: Brentwood does not publish product dimensions or weight for this model. We would rather leave them out than print a number we cannot verify.

Q: Is this the same as the TS-180S?
A: No. Brentwood also makes a TS-180S 8-cup-uncooked rice cooker, but the RC-5016W is a distinct model with its own specifications.

Care & Use

Unplug and let the unit cool before cleaning. Lift out the non-stick pot and the steam tray and wash them by hand with a soft sponge - avoid steel wool and abrasive powders, which will cut the non-stick surface.

Wipe the heating plate with a dry cloth and make sure it is free of grains before the next use; debris under the pot causes uneven heating. Never immerse the cooker base in water.
