Applica/spectrum Brands RC516 16-cup Rice Cooker

Product Description

The APPLICA/SPECTRUM BRANDS RC516 is a 16-cup capacity rice cooker designed for high-volume meal preparation in residential kitchens. The unit features a nonstick, removable cooking bowl that accommodates rice, grains, soups, stews, oatmeal, and pasta. A tempered glass lid allows monitoring without lifting the cover during cooking. An included steaming basket expands functionality to include fish, vegetables, and other items requiring steam preparation. The RC516 is straightforward to operate and clean, making it a practical choice for households cooking large batches regularly.
