Product Overview

- Compact 3-cup capacity

- Electrical Rating -120 volts

- Triple heater with Extra large heating element heats and warms rice from the bottom, side and top

- Removable steam vent cap allows for high temperature cooking without messy overflows

- Automatic keep Warm keeps rice at the perfect serving temperature; extended keep Warm keeps rice Warm Longer by maintaining a lower temperature to prevent drying

- Black 2.5mm Thick inner cooking pan distributes heat evenly, and is nonstick Coated for easy cleaning BPA-free (all surfaces that come into contact with food or Beverage)

The Silver Black NL-BAC05-SB brings menu-driven Micom cooking to small batches, from half a supplied cup up to three cups of uncooked white rice. The triple-heater system supplies heat from the bottom, sides and lid while fuzzy-logic control adjusts the cooking process. Its small rice measure is approximately 180 mL, so the capacity should not be read as three U.S. cups or three plated portions.

Dedicated long-grain white rice, brown rice, quinoa and steel cut oatmeal programs let the same compact cooker serve different routines, within each menu’s own limits. A separate Cake menu follows small-batch manufacturer recipes. The fold-down handle and detachable cord help with storage, while the removable inner lid supports cleaning; do not assume rice holding modes are suitable for quinoa, oatmeal or cake.

Small batches, with specific menu limits

White, quick white and long-grain white rice range from 0.5–3 supplied cups; sushi rice needs at least one cup. Brown rice is limited to 0.5–2 cups, and quinoa and steel cut oatmeal to 0.5–1.5 cups. Select the right menu and water line rather than using a single maximum for all foods.

Compact three-cup capacity

White rice can be prepared in 0.5–3 supplied-cup batches.

Micom fuzzy logic

Microcomputer control adjusts cooking with a bottom, side and lid heater arrangement.

Dedicated grain settings

Long-grain white rice, brown rice, quinoa and steel cut oatmeal have separate programs.

Silver Black NL-BAC05 with supplied measuring cup and rice spatula.

Sized around the supplied rice measure

The approximately 180 mL rice cup and nonstick spatula accompany the compact cooker. Measure raw rice accurately and protect the 2.5 mm nonstick pan during preparation and cleanup. The cup rating is not a cooked yield.

NL-BAC05 detachable inner lid being rinsed separately.

Reach the inner lid after cooking

The inner lid detaches for washing, and the steam vent cap also removes for care. Unplug and cool the cooker before cleaning. Keep the electrical body dry and follow the separate instructions for removable components.

Use the supplied approximately 180 mL measure and exact menu limits: white/quick/long-grain white 0.5–3 cups; sushi 1–3; brown 0.5–2; quinoa and steel cut oatmeal 0.5–1.5. WHITE/SUSHI shares a menu selection but uses different water lines and minimum batches. Select QUINOA or STEEL CUT OATMEAL each time when using its corresponding water line. Regular and Extended Keep Warm have a 12-hour total holding limit for eligible white-rice menus. Extended changes to Regular after eight hours in that mode. The four-hour Extended condition in the manual concerns selecting the mode, not stopping a running cycle. Brown, germinated brown and semi-brown rice use Regular only; do not keep quinoa or steel cut oatmeal warm. Reheat is only for already-warm white rice at or below WHITE 2 and must not be repeated. These operating limits are not food-safety guarantees. Cake allows up to 60 g of all-purpose flour under the manual recipes, not 60 g of total batter. Do not add baking powder or baking soda. Cake has no Keep Warm; press Keep Warm/Cancel and remove it immediately after baking. Timer cooking is unavailable for QUICK and CAKE and must not be used for germinated brown rice or with added ingredients/seasonings. Keep timer settings below 13 hours, or below 8 hours for quinoa and steel cut oatmeal, especially in summer. Stir and loosen rice at completion and cool the cooker for at least 30 minutes before another batch. The water-only QUICK odor-removal procedure uses the WHITE 1 fill line and does not replace normal cleaning. Manufacturer cooking and Reheat times are operating examples, not throughput guarantees. Allow the stated lid-open height, steam clearance and bottom ventilation. Use an outlet rated at least 15A without another appliance sharing it; a slide-out shelf must support at least 26 lb. Phase and NEMA designation are unstated. Follow the manual’s household and limited similar-use restrictions and the linked household-product commercial-use warranty exclusion.
