2 x Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Side and Bottom Drainers, White

$14.69★★★★☆11

We mould this pair of white bowls in Japan specifically for rinsing rice. The wall integrates drain slits so water pours out while the grain stays inside.

The flat bottom holds water for the initial soak. Tipping the bowl lets the cloudy starch run freely through the side slits.

What makes it work

  • Moulded in Japan from durable food grade plastic for direct contact with raw grains.
  • Dimensions measure 8.9 inches long by 8.9 inches wide by 4.6 inches high for each piece.
  • Side and bottom drain openings allow quick water release while holding small grains in place.
  • Twin pack provides two matching white bowls that nest together neatly when stored in a cabinet.

How to use

Measure your grain into the bowl and add cold water to cover. Swirl the rice gently with your hand to loosen surface starch. Tip the bowl toward the slotted side wall to drain the murky liquid, repeating until the water runs clear.

Care

Wash by hand with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that can scratch the smooth white plastic finish. Dry thoroughly before nesting the bowls away.
