Fast, Reliable and Perfect Rice Every Time
I've been very impressed with the Russell Hobbs Turbo Rice Cooker. It cooks rice quickly and evenly, producing fluffy results every time. The turbo cooking feature is a real time-saver, especially on busy weeknights. The cooker is easy to use, simple to clean, and the non-stick pot prevents rice from sticking to the bottom. I've also used it for steaming vegetables, and it performs well for that too. The build quality feels solid and the sleek black design looks great on the kitchen bench. Overall, it's a convenient and dependable appliance that makes meal preparation much easier.

Awesome Rice Cooker & Steamer
I like this Russell Hobbs Turbo Rice Cooker best. It’s quick and easy to Use. Just rinse the amount of desire cups of rice to remove any excess starch and then drain. Add the correct amount of water according to the Chart for Rice Cooking. Press the START switch to start cooking with the lid on. Within 12-15 mins the rice is cooked and automatically the switch is flick to keep WARM. Perfect fluffy rice every time…..5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At a glance
The Russell Hobbs Turbo Rice Cooker is a large-capacity rice cooker and steamer suited to bigger households, meal preppers, and anyone who regularly cooks for groups. Its strengths are the 5 L bowl, 20-cup cooked capacity, steaming tray, and easy-clean dishwasher safe parts. The main limitation is that it focuses on simple cook and keep-warm functions rather than offering advanced preset programs found on more premium models.

Q: Is this rice cooker big enough for large family meals?
A: Yes. Russell Hobbs RHRC20BLK cooks up to 20 cups of cooked rice in its 5L bowl, so it suits larger households, entertaining, or batch cooking. It is more capacity than many smaller everyday cookers, so it can take up more bench or cupboard space.
Q: Can you steam vegetables or fish while the rice cooks?
A: Yes. The Russell Hobbs Turbo Rice Cooker includes a steaming tray for vegetables, fish, or dumplings while rice cooks below. It is a convenient two-layer setup for simple meals, but it is not a multi-program cooker with separate steam timing controls.
Q: Does it have settings for brown rice or different textures?
A: No. Russell Hobbs RHRC20BLK uses cooking and keep-warm functions rather than separate programs for brown rice, sushi rice, or softer and firmer textures. It suits straightforward rice cooking, not buyers who want fine control over different rice styles.
Q: Are the bowl and accessories safe to wash in dishwasher?
A: Yes. The removable bowl, lid, spoon, and measuring cup are dishwasher safe, which makes clean-up easier after everyday use or larger meals. The main cooker body is still an electrical appliance, so it should be wiped clean rather than put in the dishwasher.
Q: Will the glass lid help you check cooking without lifting it?
A: Yes. The tempered glass lid lets you see the rice as it cooks, so there is less need to lift the lid and lose heat or steam partway through. It is useful for checking progress, but the cooker is still designed to run with the lid on during cooking.
Q: Is the inner bowl removable and easy to serve from?
A: Yes. Russell Hobbs RHRC20BLK has a removable non-stick bowl, so it is easier to lift out for serving and cleaning than a fixed inner pot. The non-stick surface also helps reduce rice sticking, but it still needs gentler utensils to avoid surface wear over time.
