Honest Good Japanese Style Rice Washer & Quinoa Strainer • Eco-Friendly BPA-Free Container with Fine Mesh Colanders Sieve Bowl • Japan Kitchen Good for Cleaning Veggie, Fruit and Pasta • Blue

I purchased 2 of these, one green and one in blue. They arrived several weeks from each other cheaply packaged for shipping from abroad. I was in no hurry to receive them so didn't mind, but one took long enough that I forgot I had ordered it when it finally came. They were well cushioned and undamaged on arrival. Something to keep in mind if you order.The bowls themselves are a terrific design, perfect for washing rice. Because the holes are on one side only, you can soak and agitate the extra starch off the grains in the center and drain when you're done by tilting the bowl. The lip of the bowl curves inward very slightly to keep the rice from slipping out when you tilt. The handle on the other side provides a good grip too. I much prefer this to washing rice in the rice cooker bowl or a regular colander. The bowl size is small but comfortably washes about 3 cups of uncooked rice.It works best with short grain rice or fat, larger grains, or beans. Thinner grains tend to get stuck in the holes. I usually just hold back just a little in tipping the bowl so the rice doesn't fall too near the strainer part.Added bonus: the bowl is perfect for rinsing off my baby's soapy hair in the bath, which is what I actually bought one of the bowls for!

A very useful kitchen item. It rinses rice easily and thoroughly, is handy for rinsing fruit like grapes, berries and cherries, and is small enough to store with your stacking mixing bowls.The holes can catch grains of rice but I swish the rice in the bottom then only tip it enough for the water to drain while leaving the majority of the rice in the bottom. When it's time to empty it, I tip it towards the opposite end! :)

It works pretty much as described. It just have not found it quite as handy as I thought I would, thus the 4 stars. But really the product is decent quality. It did take FOUR WEEKS to reach me.

This has changed cooking rice! I used to struggle so much to wash rice and quinoa. This makes it so much easier and I know it's actually getting clean. I love that I can swish it around in the bowl before tilting t to drain it.

I don't use it for washing rice, I use brown jasmine rice which is long grain, and a lot of them go through the whole. It might be better with short grain rice. I give it 4 stars because it is perfect for washing fruits and it is perfect size for what I am looking for, not too big.

We use this every time we make rice and it's perfect. Makes the process of several washes easy!

I really like this thing. Quinoa does get stuck in some of the holes so you have to poke them out but it does the job!

I have used this twice already and it is amazing. very easy to use and saves me time.
