Review on Instant Pot 20-Cup Rice Cooker, Carb Reducing Multi-Cooker For Grains & Rice With 8 Presets - No Compromise On Taste Or Texture by Liyanny Llerena

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great, little slow

When I got this I was looking for a faster cooking rice maker. I didn't read completely and this is not it. However, I am not going to complain because my rice came out fine. I have an Instant Pot and I try to make rice in it and always fail and burn things. So I was a little hesitant to get this Zest by Instant Pot cause why on earth do I need more than one kinf od Instant Pot. Well it works pretty good. I added my rice and waited for the timer to go off.which was about 20 minutes or so. I didn't really time it but that is about the timeframe. I did 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of water, though I think the instructions said something about 1 1/4. It didn't stick to the pot, like my Instant Pot had done previously. The rice itself was a little over cooked, but I think maybe adding less water .just a smidge would have fixed that. I mean I didn't measure 100% accurately so that could have made the difference. I did wash my rice before hand which truthfully I rarely ever do.I didn't have the spewing at the top like others have said. I even put a paper towel down just in case. There was nothing on it. The whole system cleaned super easy as well. So I would for sure by it again. I have used it about 5 times now for different things.rice, oatmeal, quinoa, and even made a sauce in it.I got the 8cup which is really 4 cups dry rice. It was smaller than I thought it would be but actually works out because my family eats way to much rice. The keep warm setting though I don't think you should use for long periods cause it will keep cooking the items in the pot, so be careful with that.

Pros
  • This rice cooker is incredibly easy to use, with a variety of preset modes that make cooking rice and grains almost effortless
Cons
  • The cooker's lid can sometimes be difficult to align properly, which can lead to poor cooking results
