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 grew up eating rice prepared using a traditional method. My mom in India would cook the rice in plenty of water and then drain the excess liquid once the rice was fully cooked. The drained water was noticeably cloudy because it contained starch removed from the rice. I expected this rice cooker to follow, or at least closely mimic, that same process. Unfortunately, it does not. The rice appears to be cooked mainly with steam, and the water collected underneath remained almost completely clear. That makes me question how much starch is actually being removed. The concept sounds promising, and the cooker may work well as a regular rice cooker. However, based on what I observed, I am not convinced that it produces truly low-carb rice. If the collected water contains little or no visible starch, it seems that most of the starch is still remaining in the cooked rice. This cooker also requires more effort to assemble, use, and clean than a regular rice cooker. Considering that I could not see clear evidence of starch removal, the extra work does not seem worthwhile when other rice cookers are much simpler and more convenient to use."
It's really that simple. The problem with YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, etc videos is that they're not done by scientists who control every variable. In this case it's as simply as counting how many grains of rice is actually eaten. And that was exactly what the Japanese government did.
So no, these don't lower the carbs of rice. All they do is fool you into eating less rice. But you'll likely feel hungry sooner so they're very unlikely to help with dieting. A much cheaper and scientifically proven way to lower the carb intake is to refrigerate the cooked rice overnight. That converts some of the starch into resistant starch which will not be metabolized by the body.
