InstantPots Rice Cooker & Steamer, 2.8L (12 Cup) - With Dishwasher-Safe Non-Stick Cooking Pot, Stainless-steel Steamer Basket, Measuring Cup, Rice Spoon - With Slow Cooker & Sauté Pan Functions

The media could not be loaded. Easiest and best rice steamer I've had. I have rice probably 3 times a week, and have always used a rice steamer.First off, I simply used the carb reduce function rather than the brown or white rice setting, put in 2 cups just to see how it worked, and was amazed with the result. Didn't wash the rice, just put it in the metal basket, filled water to the 2 cup mark on the basket, and pressed start....thats it. Feels like it washed the rice as it cooked and ended up with perfectly fluffy and soft rice. A real trade up from my 35 quid Russell hobbs which always stuck a bit, and always came out a bit stodgy and soggy, even if washed properly.Also, used this same steamer to slow cook a beef casserole for Sunday dinner and again, great result, even compared to my slow cooker and instant pot duo. I feel its almost verging on a multicooker as its not just a rice steamer, I even used it to saute the onions before I slow cooked.Totally worth what I paid for it, and I won't be looking back....and thats from a lifelong Russell hobbs user who is now 100% converted to the Instant...excuse the video, it's hard to unbox one handed and record at the same time, I also recorded the carb reduce process as that was what I bought it for mainly.Also fully dishwasher safe, the top part inside the lid unclips and just bung it all in, easy to clean, easy to use and I feel a total bargain.

Makes perfect rice every time. Probably the best rice cooker i have owned. Also use the sauté option to add some spice and spring onions to the rice. Nice and lightweight and easy to clean.

It’s lightweight, high quality, versatile with several cooking and steamer functions, safe to use and a good value purchase. It looks nice and has a good steamer feature which is use simultaneously whilst cooking rice. Good time is perfect with the selection chosen for white rice. I cook basmati rice nicely in this product but I do have to add an additional tablespoon of water extra to cook with. I would highly recommend as I now alway cook rice this way. Superb product.

Although I have not yet tried all the functions, the basic brown rice cooking, low carb steamed white rice and vegetable steaming modes all work very well producing tasty brown and white rice that is soft, light and of good texture without lumpiness. The steaming mode works well too for quickly cooking mixed fresh vegetables. I like the sleek design and that the compact size is small enough to be able to leave the rice cooker out on my work top. Materials and components appear to be robust and overall the rice cooker is of good build quality. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a multi-function rice cooker.

Excellent build quality with good tools for measuring and stirring the rice. No need to watch or stir as the cooker knows exactly when the rice is fluffy and perfectly cooked. With the ability to have different modes for different types of rice works really well. Easy to store as everything required fits inside. The added bonus of the carb reduce function is great as it allows the same fluffy texture and good taste with less carbs which is great for being on a diet and trying to reduce carb intake

I can’t believe after all the research and faffing to figure out how to use this rice cooker, it’s not something that is functional or nearly as good as all the other Instant product I’ve loved.1st off. I’m Asian and used a FREE with purchase cheapo little Sanyo rice cooker until the outer plastic gave way after 20 years. It cooked better rice than this magic looking beautiful little machine.The instructions are terribly confusing. And hello, cooking rice on the upper stainless tray is NOT nonstick! Whaaat on earth. I measure the water wrong for the first time in my Asian life. Alas, it’s a sift/ double tray, so you’ll have water slowly drain out below which won’t be absorbed. I didn’t know and closed the lid. Opened to hard rice. Added water to rescue. Next time I followed the lines inside the pot, which is hard to read. It doesn’t hold nearly as much rice as such a big space can provide. And no. It’s not a great idea. As when I want to add other ingredients to flavor my rice, like dried scallops and mushrooms, they get washed out and all the flavors left in the water below sitting useless. So that brings me to experiment to cook with the lower bigger pot.To experiment, I ignore the top stainless tray. I thought using it like a regular old skool rice cooker would be fail safe - nope, the bottom was stuck! It’s the world’s most terrible non stick, easy clean up is one of the core needs of a rice cooker. Stainless steel, definitely sticks, lower pot WITH NON STICK COATING - also sticks! See pict.The low carb function is the only thing I came for, and I haven’t even gotten around to it. As just trying to make a decent pot of rice was a real challenge. I tried for a month.I don’t understand how in 2024 ANY appliance that claims non stick would not be. With Instant being such a big name, this product did not deliver.The machine is pretty I give you that. But there’s no way to hold the inner pot when you try to scoop and it’s moving all about. There is also no water catcher when you open the lid, so the water just falls onto the unit itself. A design flaw or just don’t care? Bizarre almost.While I’m lucky enough to get it to cook, it seems to favor only long grain/Basmati. Japanese rice came out terrible. Forget about adding extra ingredients to rice to cook together. It’ll just stick to high heavens.Moving on. I’m super thankful Amazon is letting me return this disappointing purchase. Back to the drawing board please Instant! And I’m off to research and replace with a REAL rice cooker. I can’t believe it as this is my 3rd Instant kitchen appliance. 1. Instant Pot 2. Vortex air fryer. Sorry. This is a total fail and I’m sadly done trying.

Cook the rice well.Inking is fading after 2-3 times cleaned with cloth only, no water or spray.Lid is loose, opens itself sometimes which makes it felt a bit insecure when cooking. Have to double check every time.

Excellent rice cooker well designed great functionality you can see the quality of the parts including the steamer basket which is an excellent addition and made of stainless steel multiple settings on the digital display highly rated.
