Inomata Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Strainer, 2.5-Quart Capacity

The Japanese Rice Washing Bowl works well for all kinds of rice and handles boiling water without any issues. When rinsing vegetables, water sometimes collects at the bottom, so it doesn’t rinse quite as effectively. I wouldn’t recommend using it for straining pasta, as starch can clog the holes in the bottom. Overall, a solid tool for rice, with some limitations for other uses.

The second one I've bought. Makes rice washing so much faster. If you eat a lot of rice, it will speed things up.

Just makes life so much more simple! Where has this been all my life? So used to doing the bowl and strainer method (where I always end up, knocking the strainer upside down to empty it and rice flying everywhere). Oh yes, a few grains do make it through the strainer, but I just call those the “bad egg”! It’s completely worth it and I wish my mother had one of these when I was young and she taught me how to make rice. I only recently read the back of a bag of rice when my kids were about to boil a vat of water and talked about “straining it before serving”. Had to teach them the proper way - the water 90%of rice eating nations make it. And there’s no strained watery and rubbery rice!

Not much to say. It is better than an ordinary bowl. 99% of the water rinses away. It is difficult to clear all of the rice from the bowl but it is achievable with persistence.

This is a big bowl and useful for not only rinsing rice, but all fruit, vegetables and dried beans and pulses. You can also use it as a colander. The 2.5 quart is the size I ordered as it has the drainage holes in the bottom. It is big for me for a one to two portion of rice, but I am keeping it because I will use it. Being bigger, you just have to consider storage, especially, if, like me, you have a small kitchen.

Five stars for its usefulness. Washes and drains allsorts. Too expensive. Would only be a couple of quid on a market or high street shop.

Great bowl . Best rice cleaning bowl. Ive used sinks,bowl, mesh bowls. Changed water 6 times,till water runs clear. This is the best i have use by far. Weve all suffered from wallpaper paste rice. This produces individual grain basmati Perfect.

Very good quality material and effective to use. I’d recommend it especially for the double way of draining.

Colador práctico, útil y a buen precio !!

Siebschüssel aus hochwertigem, transparenten Kunststoff. Zum spülen und wässern von Reis ausgezeichnet. Flache Noppen auf der Innenseite helfen beim entfernen der Stärke. Auch das entnehmen der gereinigten Körner klappt besser als mit dem Küchensieb, welches ich vorher benutzte. Japaner wissen halt, worauf es bei ihrem Grundnahrungsmittel ankommt. Nicht ganz günstig, aber das Geld wert.

Questo fantastico gadget originale nipponico è un lava riso: qualunque consumatore abituale di riso sa che va lavato per bene prima di essere consumato e questo a volte può creare delle difficoltà perchè molte tipologie di riso passano dagli scolapasta. Questo lava-riso è una ciotola dentro la quale si può lavare comodamente il riso, in quanto non è bucata sul fondo come uno scolapasta; però su di un lato, in alto, ha delle fessure per fare uscire l'acqua, per cui basta inclinarlo per fare andare via il liquido. Le fessure sono abbastanza strette per fare scorrere via tutta l'acqua ma non il riso, che rimane nel contenitore. Ho provato anche con riso Basmati e Jasmine, che sono più sottili di quelli occidentali e posso confermare che non passano. Non passa persino il riso Jasmine spezzato che ha chicchi piccolissimi. Il contenitore è trasparente e di una plastica resistente ma non troppo rigida. Nel complesso forse è un po' leggerino non pare robustissimo, ma credo che durerà a lungo. Considerando la solidità costruttiva mi sarei aspettato che costasse qualche euro meno; però l'idea è ottima e lo strumento funziona benissimo.
