Inomata.0800 Japanese Vegetable Fruit Rice Acrylic Wash Bowl, 8-Inch, Clear

I ordered this as a complement to theZojirushi NS-LAC05XT Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer, Black and Stainless Steeland it’s the best $6 I’ve spent all year! I used to clean grains by washing them in a stainless steel mixing bowl and then rinsing them in a metal strainer under the tap. This made for a time-consuming and tedious process.Inomata to the rescue! This bowl lets you wash and rinse in a single, continuous step—VERY Zen. Cleaning rice has become a joy instead of a chore, and this sort of elegant, earnest problem-solving design is the epitome of kaizen, the Japanese practical philosophy of constant improvement.It’s wonderful for everything that requires immersion washing: grains, beans, lentils, even grapes. If you eat any of these things regularly, this will quickly pay for itself in time saved.
