Plastic Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Strainer

Plastic Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Strainer

$8.57★★★★★3,175

We mould this bowl with a smooth solid base and a bank of drainage slits set high along one wall. You wash your grain right against the plastic without dragging out a second colander.

It holds 2 quarts for washing daily rice, barley, beans, or fresh berries over the sink. The footprint clears standard drying racks easily.

What makes it work

  • Solid bottom lets grain sit in water for soaking and hand scrubbing before you tilt the bowl.
  • Side drain slits allow loose starch, husks, and cloudy water to escape while holding the grains back.
  • Food-grade plastic is BPA-free and moulded in Japan with a smooth inner surface.
  • Top-rack dishwasher safe plastic construction simplifies daily kitchen cleanup.

How to use

Measure your dry grain into the bowl and cover it with tap water. Swish the rice with your fingers to loosen surface starch. Tip the bowl sideways toward the sink so the water runs out through the slotted wall. Repeat until the runoff clears.

Care

Wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge after each use. You can place it on the top rack of your dishwasher. Avoid abrasive scouring pads to keep the inner wall smooth.
