Instant Zest 8-cup

Okay, now one of the features about this 8 cup is that it steams and it also keeps them warm all the pieces to the instant pot zest are dishwasher, sa...

Just received the Zest 20cup(10cups cooked). Looks nice and lightweight. The base is the same size as my Tiger which is good cause I don’t have a lot of space so I’m glad it’ll still fit where I need it. I’m only replacing because the lid won’t snap close and wanting a bigger cup size but didn’t wan...

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 th...

my simpler, retired, rice cooker knew how to tell when water was gone and turned off in less time than this one needs. This one has presets for cooking brown and white rice demanding longer cook times. I don't use those settings. Have to use the "steam" setting, which allows for settings a realistic...

I mainly purchased this appliance to cook brown rice. I do not like that it takes 45-50 minutes to cook 1 cup of dry brown rice. My previous rice cooker cooked 1 cup of dry brown rice to perfection in 23 minutes. Big difference. Additionally, the unit's time count only shows when the rice is about 9...

For me, this rice cooker is replacing an Aroma pro rice cooker that suddenly died. It wasn't old enough die, but it perished suddenly. When looking for a replacement, I was considering an Instant Pot, and I researched and asked around about them. In that process I found that Instant Pot makes a rice...

I've never owned a rice cooker before or an Instant Pot, but note, this is not a pressure cooker, it is a rice cooker. I wanted a rice cooker. I cooked rice and was happy with how it turned out. The books with the machine include a chart showing how much white rice, brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa to wa...

My 20 year old rice cooker bit the dust and I needed a replacement. I own an instant pot, but didn't care for the way rice came out of it and when I'm cooking my meal in the instant pot, I wanted a second machine for rice. I also wanted a smaller machine since my family eats grain in small portions....

The Instant Zest rice cooker is basic but adequate in its performance. I have used a couple of frankly cheap rice cooker and it's true you get what you pay for. Those cheap cookers, no more than $25 spued, hissed, and foamed with rice sticking to the pot's bottom. I just wasn't going to spring for a...

I bought a rice cooker since we eat a lot of rice. My issue is that I make brown rice and for some reason I mess it up just as much as I can make it right. This is the fool proof way to do it and I bought this one specifically because it has a brown rice option. It's small and doesn't take much spac...
