From AI:
"The CarbReduce steam basket reduces carbohydrates through a specialized two-step separation process during cooking. It physically separates the starch-heavy water from the rice, preventing the grains from reabsorbing it.
1. High-Temperature Starch Dissolution
Boiling: The cooker heats water to a precise boil to cook the rice.
Dissolving: High heat breaks down and dissolves the easily digestible starches (amylopectin) out of the grains.
Release: These starches leach directly into the surrounding cooking water.
2. Physical Separation and Draining
Perforation: The basket features tiny holes along the bottom and sides.
Isolation: The starchy water drains out of the basket into the bottom of the main inner pot.
Steaming: The rice finishes cooking via steam, suspended safely above the carbohydrate-heavy liquid."
Some people season with butter and/or salt or other things with it. But most don't if they plan on making enough that there are leftovers and the rice could be used for a different purpose in another meal.
Community Reviews
This Instant Pot rice and grain cooker is mainly valued for making rice with a carb reducing mode and a stainless steel cooking basket. The rice comes out well when the water lines are used, the rice is washed first, and the finished batch rests before fluffing. The 12 quart size also helps with pot in pot cooking and cleanup stays simple. The main cautions are that the carb reduction claim is disputed, the cycle can take about 40 minutes, and some batches can burn, undercook, or turn mushy, especially back to back. A practical pick if you want a large, easy rice cooker with extra features.
Rice eaters who want a simple cooker for occasional batches, because it makes good rice and is easy to operate.
People managing glucose spikes with carb-reduced rice, because the preset can work well for brown rice and basmati and takes about 40 minutes.
People who refrigerate or freeze cooked rice for meal prep, because reheated rice can come out better and the starch benefit is a bonus.
Home cooks making pot-in-pot meals, because it fits a larger insert and can avoid burning with that method.
People expecting the carb-reducing cycle to reliably lower starch, because the collected water can stay nearly clear and the claim may not hold up.
Bulk meal preppers cooking back-to-back rice batches, because successive loads can undercook or heat unevenly.
Cooks who need rice to stay fresh and warm for long periods, because it does not do a good job keeping rice warm.
Anyone wanting a low-maintenance rice cooker, because it can take extra effort to assemble, use, and clean.

I have gotten used to just making rice in our regular Instant Pot - 4mins on high pressure and 8 mins of sitting after before quick-releasing. 1:1 ratio of water to rice. I have never had issues. We primarily cook sukoyaka genmai in but this process works well with white rice too. The starch reduction is nice for eating a fresh batch of rice
Additional glucose spike management strategies I use is to put a tbps of coconut oil into the rice, the fat helps smooth out the glucose absorption. I know Koreans also put in lentils which help. Overall, I am satisfied with this for the carb reducing function.

What actually happens is that the cooking method involves extra water. That extra water is absorbed, which increases the size and weight of each cooked grain of rice. That means each cup and each ounce of cooked rice actually has fewer rice grains than rice cooked the normal way. In other words, you end up eating fewer carbs because you're eating less rice! But that doesn't mean that the rice has fewer carbs.
Does it help with dieting? Doubtful. Although it may fool you into eating less rice, you'll end up feeling hungry quicker. Read the reports below.
