Plastic Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Strainer

Plastic Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Strainer

$5.89★★★★★3,175

We mould this 2 quart basin for preparing grain under a running tap. The solid bottom holds water for soaking, while narrow slits across one side drain the starchy liquid without losing loose grains.

The piece also handles berries, leafy greens, barley, and dried beans at the sink. It replaces a separate mixing bowl and colander with one piece of plastic.

What makes it work

  • Solid bottom retains water so you can soak raw grains directly in the base.
  • Side drain slits let loose husks, bran, and cloudy water pour out over the edge.
  • Moulded in Japan from BPA-free food-grade plastic suited for everyday kitchen prep work.
  • Two quart volume accommodates full batches of rice, legumes, and soft fruits easily.

How to use

Measure your dry grains into the basin and cover them with cold tap water. Swish the contents with your hand so loose starch floats to the top. Tip the bowl toward the slotted side wall to pour the cloudy water away, repeating until the runoff stays clear.

Care

Wash by hand with mild dish detergent and a soft sponge, or place it on the top rack of your dishwasher. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that can scratch the smooth interior plastic surface.
