Foolproof Rice Cooking
Cooking rice becomes simple with the automatic cooking system. Add your chosen grain and the appropriate liquid, select the required programme and allow the cooker to manage the time and temperature. This helps provide consistent rice without the need to constantly adjust heat or worry about pans boiling over.
Product Highlights
The 2.8L capacity provides enough space to prepare up to 12 portions of rice, making this cooker particularly useful for family meals and batch cooking. The appliance also goes beyond rice, allowing you to steam ingredients, slow cook meals and sauté suitable foods directly in the cooking pot.
One of its standout features is CarbReduce technology, which is designed to reduce the carbohydrate and sugar content of rice by up to 40% while maintaining its taste and texture. Results can vary depending on the rice variety and cooking method.
CarbReduce Technology for a Different Way to Cook Rice
The CarbReduce programme uses the supplied stainless-steel basket to separate cooking liquid from the rice during the cooking process.
According to Instant Pot, this technology can reduce carbs and sugar in rice by up to 40% without sacrificing taste and texture. This makes it an appealing option for customers looking for more flexibility in how they prepare everyday rice dishes.
