Why the Kitchen Rice Washing Drain Basket Earns Its Drawer Space
Finally, a rice washing basket is effortless to clean. Grains rinse out of it as easily as they rinse in it, with no crevices to trap starch.
The core advantage of a rice washing basket is grain retention. Its drainage is fine enough that rice stays put while water and starch flow away, ending the down-the-drain losses of bowl rinsing.Tools that complement it well include a electric salt and pepper grinder set for the chopping that joins the rice.
Better rinsing is the second big win with a rice washing basket. Proper agitation under running water removes more surface starch, which means fluffier, less sticky rice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many times should I rinse rice in the basket?
Two to three rinses in the this washing basket is standard. Rinse until the water runs mostly clear; very starchy varieties appreciate a third cycle.

No, that is the point of the design. A this washing basket has drainage fine enough to contain rice while letting water and starch flow through.
