I believe that's the technique they're trying to replicate here.
Something like this https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tctXgGutwGE
This can be done with a normal rice cooker, the key is cooling the rice after cooking it with a small amount of coconut oil. There's medical studies that back this method up. The calories don't disappear from the food, but become resistant to digestion AFAIK.

This is a large rice and grain cooker that stands out for its carb reducing mode and steam basket, which appear to drain starch water during cooking. The manual calls the inner pot a ceramic coated non stick cooking pot, with a stainless steel steam basket. Real world use points to rice that cooks well without turning mushy, and the steam basket also works for reheating curries and buns without drying them out. The main tradeoff is size, since it takes real counter or storage space, and the carb reduction claim itself is hard to measure.

It appears to cook rice with extra water and then drain off the starch-rich liquid during cooking, using a special basket/strainer setup. The result is less starchy leftover water and rice that can come out less mushy, though the carb reduction itself is hard to measure precisely.
It cooks rice well for everyday use, with reports of good results and less mushy rice when using the carb-reducing mode. One practical tradeoff is that the unit is very large, so it needs counter or storage space.
The inner cooking pot is described in the manual as ceramic-coated non-stick, not stainless steel. The stainless steel part is the steam basket.
About 1.5 cups finishes in around 20 minutes, and 3 cups is estimated to take roughly 30 minutes. That makes it a fairly quick rice cooker for typical household portions.
Yes. The steam basket can reheat curries, buns, and similar foods while retaining moisture, so they do not dry out like they often do in a microwave.

basically the extra carb with water is drained from rice during cooking.
i am actually interested in this product, too bad it is not available for my zip code.

I've been using a GreenPan one for a bit. I don't taste a difference in the resulting rice so why not have it be healthier.
And it's legit.
