Plastic Japanese Bowl, Clear

Plastic Japanese Bowl, Clear

$9.99★★★★☆296

We mould this prep bowl in clear plastic with drain slits along the upper side wall rather than through the floor. Water gathers, rinses the grains or cut produce, and pours away over the rim while the food stays put.

The solid footed base keeps the bottom clear of the sink surface during a wash. It sits steady beside the tap, then empties with a slight tilt of the wrist.

What makes it work

  • Clear plastic construction lets you see how clear the rinse water runs before pouring.
  • Moulded dimensions measure 10-7/8 in wide by 9-3/4 in wide by 4-7/8 in high.
  • Side drain slits let water escape freely while keeping rice grains and berries inside the bowl.
  • Footed bottom lifts the base off the wet sink basin to keep prep work steady.

How to use

Fill the bowl with rice or fresh berries and run cold tap water over them. Swirl the contents by hand to loosen starch or soil, then tilt the bowl toward the slotted side to drain. Water runs off while the contents remain settled against the solid base.

Care

Wash by hand with mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep the clear plastic smooth. Rinse under warm water and air dry thoroughly before nesting it in the cupboard.
