Great rice, terrible documentation and display.

Just made my first pot of rice in the Insta Zest 8 cup. The rice turned out perfectly, but my positive comments end there.The guide that came with the cooker says white rice takes 25-60 minutes to cook. What? How do you plan a meal with that range? I get that the Zest isn’t a pressure cooker and that the amount your cooking determines the cook time, but why can’t the so-called smart program tell me how long it’s going to take to cook? Instead of a countdown timer, the dumb display only reads…

Pros
  • this rice maker is working perfect, good price and good quality.
Cons
  • It's not ideal for cooking smaller quantities of rice, as the minimum amount you can make is around 4 cups at a time

So happy with my purchase - Perfect brown rice, quinoa & steel cut oats!

Becoming empty nesters & wanting to downsize from the huge 20 cupper, I bought this. I wanted something that made rice, quinoa & oatmeal. I couldn't be happier with the results after cooking all 3. I love steel cut oats but hate to stand & cook it.Brown rice came out not sticky for the first time ever for me.I cooked Asian flavored quinoa & it was amazing!Although it takes longer than a pressure cooker style, I have found a perfect arrangement for my breakfast - get up, put 1/2 c steel cut…

Pros
  • I love it, cooks my rice to perfection in less time all in the pot and she will do the rest.
Cons
  • The inner pot is not non-stick, which can make cleanup even more difficult if you don't take preventative measures

Perfect for convenience, especially quinoa

I use this cooker specifically for making quinoa fast and no worry/hassle. The ONLY downfall with this product that stopped me from leaving a 5 star review is that the top lid area has a silicone that wraps around a thin metal disc where the quinoa loves to stick and get up into making it a pain in the butt to clean. There will definitely be tons of old quinoa/grains stuck above the metal disk that doesn't appear to have a removal screw making it difficult/impossible to 100% clean this awesome…

Pros
  • For the price you can't beat it. It is kind of annoying to get fully clean.
Cons
  • The pot lid can sometimes fit a bit loosely, which can result in steam escaping and causing a mess

AMAZING PRODUCT! on my review.

This cooks grain and rice perfectly! Follow the measurement directions in the book. Excellent purchase. So easy to use, easy to clean, no burning. I cant say enough great things about this product! <3

Pros
  • This rice cooker is incredibly energy-efficient, with a low wattage that saves you money on your electric bill
Cons
  • The cooker's capacity may be overkill for those who only cook rice occasionally

Easy to use-multipurpose

I bought one for each of my daughters who are starting out in 1st professional jobs in CO & NY. They are novice cooks. They were having varied levels of success cooking rice in covered pan. They are happy with their cooker. Consistent rice every time. Photo is of broth being cooked in base and steamer insert being used to cook baby bok choy at same time. The only thing to watch is less time for less than full pot of rice.can overcook smaller quantities.

Pros
  • Its sleek, modern design looks great in any kitchen
Cons
  • The cooker can sometimes overcook or even burn rice if you're not careful

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…

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

Can ricecookers be cute?

Love this little ricecooker. I had a $100 16 cup ricecooker that broke on me before getting this one.I came from a big family and always had industrial sized ricecookers in the house taking up a lot of counter space. But that was okay because we were constantly eating. With a little family of my own now, we don't eat rice every day. So this ricecooker is perfect to cook up enough rice for a family of 2 adults + 1 toddler, with enough rice left to pack with my lunch for the next day. It does the

Pros
  • COOKING MADE SIMPLE: Easy-to-use 8 smart cooking presets making cooking effortless.
Cons
  • The cord for the cooker is quite short, which can make it difficult to use in certain settings

Burns but otherwise good

No matter the ratio of water/grain I try, it inevitably burns a small layer on the bottom. Otherwise its great and the non-burnt grains are perfect.

Pros
  • Great product for a great price
Cons
  • The cooker doesn't come with a steaming basket, which can make it difficult to cook vegetables or meats alongside your rice

Use it every day - my new review

I bought this a few months ago and it’s still working great. I use it almost every day for rice, quinoa, and steaming eggs and veggies. This is my new kitchen staple!

Pros
  • It's incredibly affordable, making it an excellent value for anyone looking for a high-quality rice cooker
Cons
  • The cooker can be difficult to store in smaller kitchens or homes with limited counter space

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent product, but inside measurements hard to see.

Would have been nice if the inside bowl was easier to read. The dark non-stick surface makes it difficult to read the measuring numbers inside the pot. Otherwise, very happy all round.

Pros
  • SLEEK & COMPACT DESIGN: Slim profile and matte finish look beautiful on your countertop or small enough to be stored away in a cabinets or pantry.
Cons
  • The cooker can be quite expensive compared to other rice cookers on the market

Best COVID purchase for the kitchen

With all that's going on, we've been cooking at home a lot more. In the past, we used the instant rice pouches. After watching a few online recipe videos, it became clear we needed a rice cooker.This one has been fantastic. We've used it probably 30 times and rice has been great every time. We typically make 1-3 servings, so the smaller size is exactly what we need. This unit may be too small for a larger family, but I would think you could get at least 6 servings of rice out of this without…

Pros
  • 8-in-1 FUNCTIONALITY: More than a rice cooker! Cook grains, quinoa, mixed grains, slow cook, sauté, steam, keep warm
Cons
  • The cooker can be a bit loud compared to other similar products

Great product ! best in my review

At first was hard for me to used it because it seems very easy to use but you have to know that once you turn it on the rice cooker starts to warm up but yes definitely is an amazing deal and the best you can leave the rice cooking while you are cooking something else.

Pros
  • The Instant Pot 20-Cup Rice Cooker is incredibly durable, able to withstand years of frequent use
Cons
  • The pot can be a bit awkward to handle, especially if you're trying to pour out rice or water

Made 2020 somewhat bearable.

One of my favorite buys this year. Seriously. This rice cooker is going to stay with me until its final days.Zero negatives for this product. Rice, and every other grain I've tried, has come out perfect every time. Super easy to clean. You can pop off the metal plate on the inside of the lid and wipe it dry, and the rice pot itself can be taken out and run through the dishwasher. There's a little plastic container on the side that collects condensation; simply pop out and drain after you finish

Pros
  • Its compact size makes it perfect for small kitchens or apartments
Cons
  • The cooker can sometimes be prone to errors if you don't follow the instructions exactly
