Results may vary depending on batch quantity and rice varietal used.

CarbReduce™ STUDY

How it works

• CarbReduce is a two-step function that allows carbs and sugars to separate from the rice during the cooking process.
• The rice is both boiled and steamed, with the steaming being done later in the cooking process.
• This process works by placing the rice in the CarbReduce basket and adding extra water for cooking.
• As the rice absorbs the water, the boiling process turns to a steam process, separating and draining sugars and starches into the pot below.
• When the cooking process is complete, fluffy, delicious rice is left in the basket and starch and sugars are isolated in the bottom of the cooker.

The results
Reduction of carbohydrates and sugar by up to 40%.

How we tested it

Objective
To test for the reduction of digestible starch in rice varietal’s when using the CarbReduce™ function.

Samples
The following commonly available, national brands of rice were tested. Long Grain White/Riceland | Long Grain White/Verde Valle | Long Grain Brown/Iberia | Short Grain White/Rice Select |  Basmati White/Mahatma | Arborio White/Rice Select

A total of 4 multi-grain cookers were used in the testing.
