    Wow! You are the Best!! You really know your stuff and no B.S. Instant pot should have paid you to help their design team before releasing this…I bet they could have added water level markings and added the +/_ cook time feature for almost no cost, and this thing would be nearly perfect. I'll have to buy some of your cookbooks now. I'm just glad I did not have you as a teacher in H.School...you seem very nice but you would have seen right through all of my scams. 😉

    I believe you said the only mode you could adjust the time with is the Delay Start mode. I think that isn't correct. Try to change the time with the oatmeal mode and see if it works. I saw someone else do it with their IP Zest.

    I will point out that anything you can do with the rice cooker you can do with the instant pot, the advantage to having a rice cooker is the Simplicity dump the ingredients in flip a switch and walk away.

    Thanks for the thorough review! If i have the 6 qt instant pot already, do you think I need the instant pot zest? I just cook for 1-2 people, so taking the 6qt out just to make a cup or 2 of rice is so much work lol!

    It sounds like Instant Pot dropped the ball on this one. I have a rice cooker/multicooker that does everything that this one should, 10 programs, including Saute with adjustable temps from 87-275 deg, adjustable time, delay timer, keep warm, with a ceramic inner pot. I like it better than my Instant Pot pressure cookers (I have 2). It was only 30 USD (38 CND). It's 4 yrs old now. If a rice cooker this talented can be made for this price – what was IP thinking?

    Excellent review, as always. However, I noticed that there are times when you speak really fast😂 Is that because there is a time restriction on the video? There are times when I have to replay portions just to be sure that I caught what was being said.

    Aside from that, your videos are so informative and make loads of difference for many of us when it comes to improving our cooking skills and knowledge.

    Thanks for all you do!!
