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

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.

Goes well with my rice addiction and Generally good ad washing other non rice foods

So I bought a rice cooker and thought I might as well go the whole hog and get myself a rice washing bowl to go with it. This looks like great design. You pull in your rice and then top up with water which you can either swirl the whole bowl or put your hand in and swoosh around. Clever texturing at the on the bottom of the bowl gently agitates the rice to make sure every grain gets rinsed. But when you come to tip and drain the water, a major design flaw kicks in. The drainage holes are just big enough to allow the tips of the grains of rice to stick in them. You have to run your hand over the outside of the bowl - which feels like massaging a hedgehog - to gently push to rice back through the holes. This happens every time you tip to drain and you need to do this at least three times to get the water running clear of starch. You might think this would be an easy problem to fix by making the holes slightly smaller but then maybe the water would take frustratingly long to drain. The problem probably only affects long grain rice and would not affect stubbier grains such as arborio or sushi rice. Despite the obvious design flaw I still enjoy using mine. Of course it's just as good for washing other fruits and vegetables so doesn't just come out of the cupboard for rice. The bowl looks good and had a silicon non-slip base to keep it steady on your worktop. Cleaning is easy with just a quick rinse required. It is dishwasher safe but it's no trouble at all to handwash. Love mine but I had to take off one star just for the rice sticking in the drainage holes.

Never knew how elite a proper rice washing bowl would feel over a sieve. Really satisfying to use, great grip on the base, easy to pour and re-fill. If you eat rice often (or if you don’t but have the space) I would recommend the purchase!

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!

Super speedy delivery, well-packaged. Absolutely perfect for its function - I love the drainage, I love the silicon on the base for stability and the stainless steel is exactly what I'm looking for. A couple of grains of jasmine rice do sometimes stick in the holes when rinsing, but it's perfectly easy to just poke them back in. I've recommended them to everyone I know who's sick of having to use a sieve and a bowl to check that their rice or lentil water is running clear! It is a bit pricey, but it's worth it for the functionality, the stainless steel bowl, and the speedy delivery.

Great, works well really easy to wash rice.

This is a great rice washing bowl.

Parfait pour laver le riz et même les légumineuses. Absolument contente de mon achat.

Great quality, great looking

J'ai hésité à acheter ce produit au vu du prix, mais je ne regrette rien. C'est très bien pensé et super pratique. Avant je galérais avec mon bol et je me retrouvais souvent avec des grains dans l'évier. Maintenant ça se fait en deux minutes. Et en plus il est beau. Que demander de plus :). Un très bon investissement !

Helt suverän förenklar sköljandet av riset och annat bla sallad Rekommenderas starkt

Ich dachte erst, meine Güte, wozu ein so teures Sieb zum Reis waschen ? Aber beim Prime Day war es mir dann den Preis wert. Bisher benutzte ich die Kochschüssel vom Yum Asia Bamboo Reiskocher zum Reis waschen. Aber dieses Sieb ist durchdacht, der profilierte Boden wäscht den Reis beim Umrühren mit der Hand wie eine Waschmaschinentrommel. Recht effizient, man kommt mit weniger Durchgängen aus. Und das Abgießen funktioniert auch super, ohne dass der Reis abhanden kommt.
