OXO Good Grips Rice & Grains Washing Colander, Grey, 15.4 x 23.3 x 13.9 cm

Product Information

Instead of adding tap or cold water, washing rice, pouring out milk water, and repeating the process several times, commercial ones reduce the amount of water needed and speed up the process of washing thanks to special techniques and automation. What’s more, you’re making sure the rice you’re eating is pure and of high quality, which makes it tastier and softer. The pliable mesh doesn’t bend out of shape easily and the basic looped handle is tapered to help with comfort. Unlike most rice washers that only have drainage holes near the mouth of the bowl, the Kotobuki rice washer has rice washer strainers on the bottom and sides to assure that the dirty rinsing water is thoroughly drained after cleaning.

Think about whether you’d prefer a plastic or metal mesh: plastic ones are often cheaper but metal is likely to last longer. But if you just want to sift a small amount of icing sugar occasionally then a big one probably isn’t worth the cupboard space. You get all the perks and functions of an Asian kitchen rice washing bowl as a preparation bowl, colander, and serving bowl.At just over 20cm, the handle is the longest of all the sieves we tested, so if you’re using it to drain or strain anything hot, you can keep your hand well away from the heat. Bring the water to the boil and cook for the time stated on the packet, or until softened and most of the water has been absorbed by the rice.

Complementing Asian rice cooker brands, this washing bowl with side and bottom holes is the one thing you need in your kitchen to make your rice tastier and cooked to perfection. If you don’t wash the rice using a rice washer or kitchen strainer or a rice washing machine before popping it into the cooker, the starch attached to the rice may result in cooked rice with an unappetizing texture and impure taste.The humble sieve is a multipurpose kitchen essential that’s useful for more than just sifting flour. It’s a good quality stainless steel sieve that copes well with flour and cocoa powder, it just isn’t built for large quantities. Colanders are large deep bowls that are usually made of stainless steel and have tiny holes in them. With a rice washer, you have a companion helping you with the preparatory steps involved in making your complete meal. The Everyfit kitchen strainer is the most durable and practical tool for your kitchen, made with high-quality and environmentally friendly material.

It’s worth noting that although it says large in the title, the diameter is just 16cm, meaning it’s smaller than most standard size sieves so, while it does sift flour easily, it’s not the best choice if you want to regularly sift large quantities. If you’re looking for a highly functional yet easy-to-use stainless steel rice washer, the Helen’s Asian Kitchen Rice Washing Bowl 97123 is your ideal choice. It serves as a preparation bowl, colander, and serving bowl—truly a must-have in your kitchen cabinetry. This stainless-steel strainer is perfect for straining sauce or pouring off water from cooked vegetables.Additionally, rice washers can also be used for efficiently cleaning vegetables, fruits, and other food, and most of these models are dishwasher-safe. Additionally, a rice washer, stainless steel or plastic-made, helps you save more time and energy compared to manually rinsing the rice grains with your hands multiple times.
