Black and Decker engineer they product in America . this allow they the legal right to say make in the USA . never the less , all of they product be still make in China and ship to a assembly plant in Mexicali where assemble and package complete with a make in the USA sticker to sell here . have say that , the Chinese make a terrific rice cooker for black and Decker to sell we and my only dislike be you can not turn off the `` warm '' feature which stay on after cooking . so if you do not take the rice off or unplug it when it be do you can dry you rice out .
