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.
The keep-warm mode can be managed by pulling power, which helps prevent prolonged heating while rice rests.
The pot-in-pot method can prevent burning and can keep cleanup minimal for routine rice cooking.
The carb-reduce preset can work for brown rice and basmati, and it may benefit from turning off keep warm after cooking.
The Cancel button can stop keep-warm and fully turn off the unit without unplugging it.
The carb-reducing mode can leave rice undercooked, including reports of about half the rice remaining uncooked.
The cooker can burn the bottom, which can force discarding a large portion of cooked rice.
Back-to-back batches can heat unevenly and may undercook rice during bulk meal prep.
The carb-reducing claim can be disputed, with some reports questioning whether starch removal actually occurs.

"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.
