Japanese Rice Washing Bowls, Set of 2

$16.98★★★★★418

We mould this two-piece set in Japan from BPA-free food-grade plastic. The set pairs a solid 2-quart soaking basin with a 2.5-quart speed washing bowl that drains through its side wall.

Both bowls stack together when dry to save shelf space. They handle white rice, barley, whole legumes, and soft berries without letting grains spill into the sink.

What makes it work

  • Moulded in Japan from durable, BPA-free food-grade plastic that withstands daily kitchen preparation.
  • Includes one 2-quart solid soaking bowl and one 2.5-quart washing bowl with integrated drain slits.
  • Side wall drainage allows cloudy starch water and loose husks to escape while holding grain inside.
  • Sized to nest together in the cupboard so two basins occupy the footprint of one.

How to use

Measure your dry rice directly into the washing bowl and place it under cold tap water. Swish the grains with your fingers so cloudy starch floats up, then tilt the bowl to let water run out the side slits. Switch to the solid 2-quart bowl when your recipe calls for soaking before cooking.

Care

Place both bowls on the top rack of your dishwasher for cleaning. You can also wash them by hand using warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid coarse scouring pads to keep the plastic smooth.
