Description

Rice goes in, water drains out through the side mesh, and the grains stay in the bowl until you pour them into the pot. The whole rinse happens in one piece, so the sink stays clear and there is no second colander to wash. It is a plain, affordable bowl in pink or green that earns its place on the counter.

Rinse rice and vegetables in one bowl: the mesh drains water while the handle pours it out

Solves
  • rice grains slipping down the drain while rinsing
  • messy pouring of rinsed rice or vegetables
  • need for separate colander and bowl
  • cluttered sink space

Rinse rice in one bowl and drain it without losing grains

Stop chasing rice down the sink with a separate colander. Rinse, let the water drain through the side mesh, and pour clean from the curved handle.

Water leaves, grains stay put

Water drains, grains stay

The dotted mesh panel sits on the side wall, so water finds its way out while the rice stays in the bowl. Swirl, tilt and let the cloudy water go. Pour slowly and the grains stay where they belong, which is the whole point of the bowl.

Pour with one hand

The curved handle sits at the rim and gives your fingers a place to hold while you tilt. Rinsed rice or a bowl of greens goes straight into a pot or a serving dish without a second piece to steady.

Rice and produce in one piece

The same bowl rinses rice, washes cherries and drains spinach. It sits in the sink without crowding the sink accessories you already have, and it stays a single piece to rinse and dry.

Rinse, drain and pour in three moves

  1. 1
    Add rice and swirl

    Put the rice and cold water in the bowl and swirl with your hand. The cloudy water starts to clear as the starch loosens.

  2. 2
    Tilt to drain

    Tilt slowly so the water runs out through the side mesh while the rice stays against the wall. Repeat two or three times until the water runs clear.

  3. 3
    Pour into the pot

    Hold the curved handle and tilt over the pot. A slow pour keeps the rinsed grains from spilling over the rim.

Keep the plastic in shape

  • Warm water, mild soap

    Hand wash after each use and let it air dry on the rack.

  • Keep away from high heat

    Skip high-heat dishwasher cycles, since budget plastic can warp over time.

  • Cool cooked food first

    Use the bowl for cold or lukewarm rinsing and let cooked rice or pasta cool before it goes in.

Questions and answers

Will rice grains slip through the side mesh?
w
Wanelo · seller

Not during a normal rinse. Swirl gently and tilt slowly, keeping the rice pressed against the bowl wall. Grains escape when the pour is fast and the bowl tips past the rim, so slow the tilt and the rice stays inside.

Is the plastic safe for daily use and dishwasher washing?
w
Wanelo · seller

The bowl is food-grade plastic, so it suits everyday rinsing. Wash it by hand with warm water and mild soap, then let it air dry. Skip high-heat dishwasher cycles, since budget plastic can warp over time.

Can I use it for hot water or cooked food?
w
Wanelo · seller

Keep it for cold or lukewarm rinsing. Plastic softens under heat, so let cooked rice or pasta cool before it goes into the bowl.

Is it worth it versus my existing colander?
w
Wanelo · seller

One bowl does the job of two. You rinse, drain and pour from the same piece, so there is no colander to wash, no bowl to balance over the sink and no grains lost down the drain. For a rinse you do every day, that is a small change that keeps paying off at every meal.

Can it hold enough rice for a family?
w
Wanelo · seller

It is sized for everyday cooking rather than large batches. A family-size pot of rice is easier to rinse in two rounds. If you cook big portions most nights, expect to work through the rice in two passes.
