Breville Rice Box BRC460 Questions & Answers

Try contacting Breville see what they say, your the second person here to do that maybe the other one can advise you what they did?

push the 'CANCEL' button, I just did it then!

I just use the same amount of water and rice so I never bother looking at the markings

EI use a measuring cup for accuracy.

HIya WingeForChange.

How do you determine the same amount of water and rice? Dry rice 1 cup = water 1 cup???
I rinse the rice in the rice cooker's bowl, till water runs clear, and then fill up to level indicated. Ie. rice is already wet, to some degree, before I add more water.
You maybe use a different bowl for rinsing?

Take it in for service

Hi Sachin, I havent experienced that issue. I used the steamer mode last night and it perfectly steamed our vegetables.

Hi, skeen
When I add water to rice and put on cook mode it is not creating steam. Thus the rice remains uncooked? Is there any button to reset ??

It means the thermostat or temperature sensor inside the lid is not working. I opened the cover of the lid and found one wire is broken, and I reconnect the wire and the cooker works beautifully again. www.tiptopfloors.com.au.

After reading your review we just did exactly your advice and it works perfectly again. Thank so much:)) !!!

Thank you for sharing the fix. Three of our wires were broken! All fixed now.

My new model BRC 460 is even worse as all the levels are in black and is impossible to read. I have yet to get a logical response as to why the company did not stick to white markings.

I found a workaround, light-colored Nailpolish.
Just a 'small' dot to indicate level and four dots is all I need to get me by, for now.
Not great, I know but the rice cooker works fine so I don't want to just throw it away because of 'level fade'.
And, as you say, a newer model does not supply a solution anyway :(

This product doesn't have a tempered glass lid. Not sure why the website says it but it's a solid lid. Even the picture shows a solid lid.

Ooo that's no good. I believe the instructions advise minimum of 2 cups of rice and the water level should be level with the number 2 indicator in the bowl. Make sure the vent at the top is open too. If you are still having issues then I would contact either the manufacturer or where you bought it from. All the best.

How old is your cooker - would it still be under warantee ... seems like a malfunction - I would give Beville a call

Seems like a fault:

Hi .kaushik am having simillar issue with mine.3 years no problem without notice its stuck on showing C3 on the screen and flashing non stop..did you fix yours?

Nope. Finally managed to replace in warranty

Hi Judy ... sorry for late reply ... we’ve never taken seal out (to be honest) ... will have a look at it over next few days & get back to you

I push it back on as it has not got much out.

I just checked mine out - it appears that it shouldn’t come out ... the steal plate on top of it doesn’t come off & my seal is firmly in place

Maybe it’s a fault ... can u take it back?

Ive gone down as little as one cup, turned out fine. The trick with rice is not so much how much rice, but how much water tp keep the rice covered in the size of the container you cook it in. One cup rice with one and a quarter cups of water or stock is a perfect ratio I find. Anything less than a cup questions the need for the device at all, perhaps use a stove top instead.

I use it to make a weeks worth of rice for anything from curries to a simple tuna and veg mix. Bulk makes sense with the capacity it has.

There’s only 2 of us, but we usually do around 3 scoops from cup provided ... not sure if we have done 2 scoops or not ... but hubby uses leftover rice with leftover dinner for lunches .... why not cook extra food & freeze for an other night
Anyway ... the way I look at it, leftover rice can be used up very easily (fried rice maybe) or you can give it to your dog (if you have one)

Hope this helps
