Our take on the Instant Pot 12 Cup Multi-Grain Rice Cooker & Slow Cooker

The Instant Pot 12-Cup Multigrain Cooker is a 6-in-1 countertop appliance that cooks rice and grains, slow cooks, and steams, with a CarbReduce basket that the brand says cuts carbs and sugar in rice by up to 40%. Six smart presets set time and temperature, and a keep-warm mode holds rice for up to 10 hours. The non-stick pot, stainless steel steam basket and removable inner lid are all dishwasher safe. It suits households cooking rice for several people or anyone who wants rice and slow cooking in one pot, though it is a dedicated cooker rather than a pressure cooker like Instant Pot's multicookers.
