Yum Asia 304 Stainless Steel Rice Washing Bowl (22cm) with Silicone Base and Handle

I eat a lot of rice and investing in a rice cooker was a great decision for me, so getting a good rice washing bowl was essential. I had a plastic one for a few years but it didn't drain very well and the starch from the rice would block the holes. This stainless steel one is easier to clean and more hygienic and it can go in the dishwasher. There's holes in the side about half way up and a lip over part of the top to help keep your rice in when you tip it up to drain and the handle makes it easier to move around between sink and rice cooker without spilling water everywhere. There's a patten on the bottom of the bowl part that helps to aggravate the rice grains when you stir it up with your hand and get the starch off better, can't fault it honestly. I know some people say we don't need to wash our rice in the UK, but as someone who eats a lot of rice from different shops I can confirm we do. Some are fine but others have rice weevils even after I have bought them new and opened it the same day so its always better to wash it. I am able to reserve the rice water to water my plants with as well!

Bought this after buying the yum Asia rice cooker. Really impressed with the quality and practicality. Washes rice easily without spilling water and rice everywhere, perfect design. Really impressed with Yum Asia products.

Excellent rice strainer/cleaner. The only annoying thing is that rice sometimes gets stuck in the small holes but not sure if I can really blame that on the product itself.

I bought this after owning a Yum Asia rice cooker for a few years and having my eye on it for a while. At first my partner wasn’t convinced it was necessary and I took a bit of slack for buying it, but that changed very quickly once she actually used it. The design is really well thought out. The non-slip silicone base keeps it steady while rinsing, and it makes washing rice easy without losing any grains. The stainless steel feels high quality and well finished, and it’s very easy to clean after use. The handle is comfortable and the whole bowl just feels solid and nicely made. It’s one of those simple tools that doesn’t seem essential until you try it. For the price, the value for money is very good considering the quality and how often it gets used. A genuinely useful kitchen accessory if you cook rice regularly.

Great for washing rice, I used to use a sieve and there is always some rice stuck between the net and the rim and they are a nightmare to remove. Tis bowl just d o the job perfectly, easy to use and clean after. I wish I buy it earlier.

It's good quality and does a great job.

I will admit this is pretty expensive for a rice washing bowl, however it's also the most ergonomic one I've ever used. I've had this for way over a year and it's been pretty great to use overall. Easy to handle and pick up, easy to wash rice in it, easy to clean etc. I'd recommend this rice washing bowl if you're handling rice almost daily, the extra cost will slowly pay for itself in the amount of time you save plus the ergonomic advantages of the bowl.

Even after the first use it’s apparent the design is by people who studied what a rice washer needs to do. The diamond shapes at the bottom help make quick work, I’ve noticed it takes half the time for the rice to get washed! The handle makes for a comfortable grip throughout while being sturdy and stable thanks to its bottom. I especially appreciated the added sieve on the top for when you really have to drain the last drops of water out and the steel is great quality. Nothing feels cheaply made and for what you get, their price is fair.
