Product Description
Inomata's Rice Washing Bowl is a specially designed Japanese rice washing bowl with a solid bottom and side drain for soaking and thoroughly washing rice before cooking. A thorough cleansing in the Rice Washer can significantly reduce toxins and chemical levels incurred during the growing process. Easy to use. For rice recipes that call for soaking the rice before it's cooked, measure in desired amount of rice and add enough fresh water to cover it. Allow it to sit for the instructed amount of time. To clean, cover rice with fresh water and vigorously swish fingers through. Loose rice bran or starch, husks, and other debris will float above the rice and be easily exit through the side drain. Repeat this process until water is no longer cloudy. Works with all types of rice, including brown rice, jasmine rice, even black, basmati, wild, white and short grain rice, sometimes called sticky rice due to it's glue-like quality when cooked. The Rice Washing Bowl also doubles as a multipurpose kitchen strainer for washing fruits and vegetables, legumes, barley and other larger grains. Made in Japan from food-grade plastic, it's BPA free and top-rack dishwasher safe.

Pros:
1. A colander to wash rice is a very genuine idea! The regular colanders that we have in our kitchen have big holes that make it unfit to use for washing rice. But these rice colanders are great! They have just the right size of holes to let the water drain and retain the rice. No more tedious process of using a strainer for the process. Provides real utility to avoid wasting rice during the washing process.
2. Comes intelligently with a spout that can be used to pour out water
3. Size of the bowl is convenient to hold rice from 1 cup to 5 cups. Can be used to wash 6 cups of rice maximum. The bowl is even larger to hold upto 10 cups of rice but the spout that is provided to pour and drain water has elongated slits in which rice can get stuck or come out. Hence, ideal for washing upto 5 cups of rice and not more than that.
4. Nice sturdy base and good quality that seems like the product will last long
5. Can be used for washing fruits and other veggies as well
Cons:
1. There is absolutely no problem in washing the rice and draining the water but the problem arises when transferring the washed rice from the colander to another bowl! The grains of rice tend to stay back at the bottom of the base and you will need to pick the rice grains manually. This will feel like a bit time consuming when you are in a hurry and requires patience!
If the disadvantage mentioned above had been solved then this rice colander would have received a 5 star easily!
Overall, a nice utility item to own especially if you use rice frequently!

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.

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.
