The simple rice cooker can cook rice till all water is absorbed. Can Instant Pot do that? I think the Instant Pot cooks till the timer runs out, not till when t

  If you measure the right amount of water (not optional with either solution), 12 minutes should do the trick. And you can just let it sit on the keep warm setting for some time and it will continue to absorb whatever water is left in the pot. I actually got an instant pot recently but I haven't tried the rice cooking setting yet for the simple reason that I use the instant pot for cooking sauces and other things that would go with the rice. Also cooking rice on the stove isn't actually that hard. I don't see how this saves me time or effort. Just measure out the quantities carefully and you should be fine. Anyway, I need less carbs in my life; not more. One reason I got the Instant Pot is cooking lentils and beans becomes really easy with it. Also am making lots of tasty meat stews. Works great for that.

  Nope, it's a pressure cooker, the cooking vessel is air-tight. My favourite recipe is to use 1:1 rice to water ratio and the adjust the time depending on the rice. For example, white rice takes 5 minutes, basmati 6, brown 30(!). When it'đ finished, wait at least 10 minutes before opening the lid, let the pressure drop naturally.
