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.

This Instant Pot rice and grain cooker is mainly valued for making rice with a carb-reducing mode, and it can produce good results on brown rice, basmati, and other everyday batches. The stainless-steel cooking basket is a plus, cleanup is easy, and the 12-quart size helps with pot-in-pot cooking. The carb-reduce cycle takes about 40 minutes and works best with the marked water lines, while back-to-back batches can undercook or heat unevenly. The keep-warm function is easy to stop with Cancel, and the unit is a practical rice cooker if you can live with slower cooking and occasional inconsistency.
Common Questions (5)
The carb-reduce cycle is widely questioned: it may make rice plumper by using extra water, but it does not reliably remove starch. A more defensible benefit is that some users see lower glucose spikes or lower blood sugar readings, while others say the effect is mostly from eating fewer grains of rice.
The carb-reduce cycle takes about 40 minutes. It uses extra water and a longer cook time, so it is slower than a standard rice setting but can work well for brown rice and basmati when the water level is set correctly.
Wash the rice 2-4 times until the water runs mostly clear, level the rice evenly, and let it rest 5-10 minutes after cooking without opening the lid. Stir it, close the lid again for about 5 minutes, and use the marked water lines instead of finger-measuring to avoid mushy rice.
It can burn the bottom in some cases and back-to-back batches may undercook or heat unevenly, especially for bulk meal prep. Using the pot-in-pot method reportedly avoids burning and makes cleanup minimal.
Yes. Pressing Cancel stops the Keep Warm function and fully turns the unit off without unplugging it. If you leave it plugged in, it can stay in heat mode after cooking.

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.
