The TLOG is a 2L rice cooker (4 cups uncooked) built around a starch-reduction system that separates excess starch during cooking rather than leaving it in the grain. The practical effect is rice with a lower glycemic load, which is why people managing blood sugar or cutting carbs buy it. A 304 stainless steel basket sits above the rice so you can steam vegetables, eggs, or chicken at the same time, making it a one-pot dinner rather than one component of one. Five presets cover low-carb rice, white, brown, quinoa, oatmeal, and porridge. A 24-hour delay timer plus keep-warm means you can load it in the morning, and the nonstick inner pot and steam box detach for washing. Best fit: meal preppers, anyone watching carbs, and small kitchens where one appliance has to do several jobs.
Pros
- Starch-reduction system actually drains starch off during cooking instead of just cooking rice normally
- Stainless steamer basket lets you cook rice and a protein or vegetable in the same run
- 24-hour delay timer with keep-warm, so dinner is ready when you get home
- Five presets cover white, brown, quinoa, oatmeal, and porridge, not just one rice mode
Cons
- 4 cups uncooked is the ceiling, so it is sized for one or two people rather than a family batch

Frequently asked questions
How much does the starch reduction actually change?
It separates excess starch during the cook rather than eliminating carbohydrates. Expect a meaningful reduction in starch content, not carb-free rice.
How many people does 4 cups uncooked feed?
Four cups uncooked yields roughly 8 cups cooked, enough for about four servings or a couple of days of meal prep for one or two people.
Can I steam and cook rice at the same time?
Yes. The 304 stainless basket sits above the rice, so vegetables, eggs, or protein steam while the rice cooks below.
Is the inner pot nonstick and is it removable?
Yes to both. It is a spherical multi-layer nonstick pot, and the steam box and lid parts detach for washing.
