Can I wash my rice out with this strainer?

I would say that you probably could. The mesh is very fine and I bought it so I can rinse lentils and split peas. It also strains pasta perfectly. This is a very good strainer.

Yes, you can wash your rice with this strainer as the mesh is quite fine. I rinse my seeds for sprouting in it. Rice wouldn't go thru the holes.

Sorry, I am not familiar with the one you are talking about. However,I put a millimeter ruler against the surface and it seems to be just a fraction smaller than one millimeter.If you are familiar with Quinoia, it absolutely will not pass through the mesh. It is a total overkill for rice. It takes very good eyes to focus on the mesh as it is very tiny.Construction is very sturdy. I don't baby it at all.The first few weeks I treated it with kid gloves... now I just toss it in with all the other strainers.Hope this helps.

The short answer is YES! I should add that you can wash it in the dishwasher every day, many times if you wish, and it will come out sparkling clean - ready for your next use!Best strainer I ever had!

I've never washed it in the dishwasher, just by hand. If you only cook rice in it, it's really easy to clean. I've had this for two years now and love it.

yes to the strainer and drain, not the rack - you are better off with a silicone mat, racks are hard to clean and don't cushion the bottom of the sink.

I rarely cook rice, and have a multicooker that does that very well. I don't think you can steam rice in this because the rice will fall through the holes in the steaming basket down into the hot water below. Actual electric rice cookers are cheap and automatic, so that's the way to go.

Never tried dishwasher. I wash by hands since the rice usually gets sticked on it.

I did when I first got it, before using it. And I run the strainer through the dishwasher regularly. The canister is stoneware, like a dinner plate.

Good. I don't think you can go wong. This strainer is very nlce. My husband favors this one over all others he's had for his fish fryer.

Yes, is good but you should put a sponge around of the input strainer. I have a sponge around and all goes good.Good luck.

Hi LadyChrys. The answer is yes. The steamer basket is small as the rice cooker is only 5 cup. A whole fish for table-presentation will be difficult unless your curve the fish. If you don't mind cutting it into steak-like pieces, you'll be fine. I cut my fish, add onions. mushrooms, a few leeks and various fresh herbs. It always comes out wonderful. One caution however. After steaming fish, ALWAYS use the dishwasher to clean the cook-bowl, the basket and the vacuum seal nested into the lid. If not, the next time you cook rice, you'll might have a slightly fishy taste. The dishwasher, at least for me, does of much better job of deodorizing the unit. When I cook rice, I can just hand wash and it's ready to go. One other thing, even though you did not ask; learn to use the timer function for rice. It's amazing. Set it at night and your rice is all ready for you in the morning. I like to pack a little rice and a veggie for lunch at work. Love this little Sanyo. Purchased it years ago and it's still going strong. Hope this helps.

The holes are very large. You could not steam rice in this strainer....also it's a tall strainer and the handle protrudes over the edge by a couple of inches making it not possible to put a lid on the pot you are using.

yes, put rice in after it sits in the water for 8 to 10 hours. Works great.

Yes you can cook rice in it - drain holes are smaller than rice -don't usually need to drain rice

Probably. I don't own a dishwasher, but I have poured boiling hot water thru it with no ill effect. I am very happy with this strainer. It is delicate but strong. Also I think this strainer is silicon, not nylon, but not sure.

I don't know as I do not own a dishwasher. If using for kombucha and kefir, you don't want chemicals etc. on the strainer (my opinion). If stained, just use some baking soda and gentle toothbrush

I remove the strainer and then this fits perfectly. When I am done, I remove the stopper and slip the strainer in place to collect the food particles from the draining sink water. Works well.
