Description

Helen’s Asian Kitchen Rice Washing Bowl with 3-quart capacity is a specially designed Japanese rice washing bowl for soaking and thoroughly washing rice before it’s cooked. The flat solid base stabilizes the bowl for soaking and the perforated side strainer keeps smaller food in and allows water and debris to drain out. The angled side helps in draining the water easily with just a simple tip onto its side. It’s convenient for making rice recipes that call for soaking the rice before it’s cooked. Whether using brown rice, jasmine rice, basmati, wild, white and short grain rice, known as sticky rice due to its glue-like consistency when cooked, and other types of rice, a thorough cleaning in the Rice Washer can significantly reduce toxins and chemical levels incurred during the growing process. So easy to use. Simply measure in rice and add enough fresh water to cover it. Follow the recipe instructions for the amount of soaking time. To clean the rice, cover it with fresh water and vigorously swish fingers through. Tilt the bowl on its side and drain. Loose bran, starch, and other debris, will float on top of the water drain easily through the side strainer. Repeat until water is no longer cloudy. Doubles nicely as a multipurpose kitchen strainer for soaking and washing dried beans or grains, like quinoa and barley, and soaking produce, like berries and sprouts, in a vinegar-water solution for a more thorough clean. Made from stainless steel, Helen Chen’s Rice Washing Bowl is lightweight and durable. Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Brought to you by HIC Harold Import Co.

Perfect for Washing Rice and Easy to Use
The Helen's Asian Kitchen Japanese Rice Washing Bowl has made washing rice a breeze! The 3-quart capacity is perfect for preparing rice for small to medium-sized meals. The side drainer works incredibly well, allowing me to easily drain the rice while washing it without making a mess. The bowl design ensures that water flows through the rice evenly, helping remove excess starch for perfectly cooked rice every time. I love the durable, high-quality construction of the bowl. It’s lightweight yet sturdy, and the material doesn’t absorb any odors, making it easy to clean. The ergonomic handles also make it comfortable to hold and pour without spilling. This bowl is not just for rice—it’s also great for washing beans, quinoa, or other grains. It’s such a useful tool in the kitchen! This product offers great value for money, excellent functionality, and is easy to use. If you’re looking for a high-quality, efficient rice washing bowl, I highly recommend the Helen's Asian Kitchen Japanese Rice Washing Bowl! Highly recommend! ... show more

definite upgrade over Inomata, for people that need to CLEAN grains
the plastic Inomata washing bowl had poor drainage, the rice tended to spill over when trying to "wash" with the front slits, and the bottom drain holes were pretty useless. This stainleess steel bowl performs much better. Smooth surface: It's easier to rub the grains against the surface without hurting the hands as they slide without catching. It's even possible to agitate the grains just by angling the water stream near the drain holes(water pressure required). Better drainage: Denser liquid(clouded with junk/chems) had less trouble going through these holes than the plastic bowl, which would get trapped even between the front slits. When the holes are tilted downwards, it pretty much always drains. Non-perfortated and angled bottom: I thought this would be bad, but it is actually a boon. You can tilt upright to hold water for washing when needed, and tilt down to drain, or tilt up with a water stream going for a continuous rinse(for floatin gunk that is hard to get off with downward drain). There's much more control when the drainage isn't random. grain-retaining top piece: This works very well. Allowing for drainage while the grains don't spill over at all. If you only need to swish some rice around in water, then the plastic bowl is adequate. If you need to Wash your grains Hard, then you should at least upgrade to this bowl. Even if not, it still has superior performance. ... show more

Simply Awesome!
This bowl works great! I am now rinsing my rice "properly", vigorously swishing it around in some water then draining, done multiple times. The little stopper section at the top keeps grains of rice from falling out into the sink, and makes this rinsing process go quicker and more smoothly than when I used a regular open bowl. Material is perfect, high quality. Size is also perfect, not too big and not too small. Thank you so much for creating this product! ... show more

Rice Strainer
Bowl works great. My only take away star is a little bit of long grain white rice will come through the strainer. Works great cleaning fruit!

Great bowl for grains (except quinoa)
I use this bowl to wash berries, grapes and grains and it is great. Washing rice is great and i can easily see the starches wash off. It's very sturdy, no sharp edges on the rim or the perforated plate and easy to clean. It is a good medium size, but I wish there were bigger sizes. The material is very nice, no plastic anywhere. Though it is worth noting that quinoa will slip right through the holes (learned that the hard way), so unfortunately this bowl isn't good for that. But that's not a big deal as it has so much else it can be used for. ... show more

Best rice rinsing product.
Loved it. Makes rinsing rice so easy. Also good for other small fruits, vegetables and beans. Easy to clean.

I wish I had gotten this sooner!
I have been washing rice for 50 years, and finally found the best bowl to use! I have washed and rinsed rice in the rice cooker bowls, rinsed rice in rice strainers, and finally have this bowl which allows me to swirl the rice in water well, and drain easily in one container. I have a ceramic bowl in my rice cooker that I don't want to scratch while rinsing rice in it. This bowl has a solid bottom which allows the water to not drain as you wash. It's also has an angled flat bottom so that you can leave it on the counter if you get distracted, and the water won't leak out. I had to get one for my sister because I felt guilty being able to wash rice so easily now. It's easy to get any rice that's stuck in the bowl after dumping the washed rice into a pot/rice cooker unlike my old plastic rice strainer that held on the rice and I had to pick it out. With this bowl, I just wipe my hand against the sides, and the rice drops down easily. Very happy with this purchase! ... show more
