4 x Rice Paddle, White

$11.54

We mould this rice paddle with a pebbled surface on the blade so cooked starch does not bind to the plastic face. It cuts through warm steamed grain and turns a fresh pot without crushing the kernels.

The slim profile rests flat on a prep counter or tucks into the utensil crock alongside our measuring cups. Four paddles keep one ready by the cooker while the others are in rotation.

What makes it work

  • Moulded from food-grade white polypropylene plastic in our Yokkaichi factory.
  • Blade faces carry raised surface nubs designed to release sticky rice without oiling.
  • Pack contains four matching white paddles sized for daily grain service.
  • Rigid handle tapers to a comfortable flat grip for turning hot rice pots.

How to use

Use the edge to slice across freshly cooked rice, then fold the grains from the bottom of the pot. Dip the blade in clean water before scooping to prevent starchy buildup. Lay it flat beside the cooker between servings.

Care

Wash with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge after each meal. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that can scratch the textured blade face. Keep away from direct stove flames.
