Marna Kiwami Ultimate Rice Washer & Strainer
Proper washing is the crucial first step to cooking good rice. Developed with Japanese rice experts, the Marna Kiwami (Ultimate) Rice Washer & Strainer gently washes away excess starch and drains the water without losing a grain — and without cold hands.
What's Included
- 1 x Marna Kiwami Ultimate Rice Washer & Strainer
Key Features
- 2-in-1 Design: Combines a gentle whisk for washing and an integrated strainer for draining, all in one tool.
- Gentle on Grains: The unique whisk head agitates the rice to release surface starch without breaking the delicate grains, a key to fluffy rice.
- Efficient Draining: The long slits on the top of the tool allow you to quickly drain cloudy water while effectively holding back every grain of rice.
- Hygienic & Comfortable: Keeps your hands out of cold water and provides a clean, comfortable alternative to washing by hand.
- Soft Scraper Tip: The soft elastomer tip lets you effectively stir and scrape rice from the bottom and corners of the bowl.
How to Use
- Place rice in your bowl and add cold water.
- Use the whisk end to gently stir the rice 10-20 times.
- Use the top of the tool as a strainer to block the rice as you pour out the cloudy water.
- Repeat the wash-and-drain process 2 to 3 times. Over-washing can remove flavour.
