Hi, can you pick up a grain of rice with the tips? Thanks in advance

Yes you can. I don't attribute that to my epic chopstick skill though... If you're looking for precise chopsticks, I would be looking closer to the Japanese styles. If you want a great durable set of 'easy to clean' sticks that travel well??? You found them already. I use them often and leave one pair at work. I use a "good" set at home that are much more comfortable and less slippery, but also very expensive.

Believe it or not... yes.. I can pick up a grain of rice but perhaps I am able to attribute this more to my natural skill with chopsticks rather than the sticks alone. I do recommend these highly, however, and as I had mentioned in my review the Chinese waiters came over to me, examined them closely and wanted to know where they could obtain a pair. Extending my happy dining wishes to you.

Yes you can, though I prefer to smash that last grain of rice with the end of chopstick so that it sticks to the end and then I can lift it up.

You sure can.I place them directly in the bucket with rice.This is a great product and good place to get them.

Yes, you can use this to rice potatoes. I ofen use it to rice my potatoes before I mash them. It makes them lump free and really smooth. I hope this helps!

Like others have said, dust and small things. It will pick up a dry rice; but mine has some trouble picking up small things. Definitely would not pick up cheese or a baby carrot. On bare floors, it's great at picking up pet hair which is what I use it for, to keep the hair at bay in between "real" vacuuming with a full size vacuum. I've mainly used it on bare floors and it works better with the roller turning (carpet setting).

Yes, you can. However, i don't think it cooks rice very well. It doesn't cook it long enough on the top and the bottom gets overlooked.

Shaped pasta like penne or bow tie would work great although the lids aren't always a tight seal. Strand pasta might work but you might have to break some of the end off. Although u could keep the ends and cook them into your next rice dish, alittle butter and salt and pepper. Sounds so good. It's making me hungry.

I don't know about picking up an egg. I haven't tried it.. I suppose if you're real careful you might be able to. I picked up a paper clip off the floor and little pieces of paper. I just might try it next time I cook an egg. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.

Yes, it works wonderfully! Pre-soaking whole grain rice (brown, red, or "forbidden black") helps tremendously. Simply soak the grains in water for at least two hours, drain, and proceed as usual.

Beans would defintiely be too big, but I think the rice might work; you would need quite a bit of rice though.

I assume the factory would have them available. You might consider buying a plastic rice server as they serve rice good and will not scratch.

Yeah, you can use short grain rice for sushi. It's stickier than long grain rice.

No. I think you can magnetise the tips with a speaker or a permanent magnet, hope this helps.

My rice cooker just arrived...couple of quick questions..where do I find the water to rice ratio..I see the water levels in the pot but cant find how much water to add for 1 or 2 cups of rice using their rice scoop..also anyone care to share how to make oatmeal instructions?

Definitely! I do it all the time. One hint: rice food while it's still hot for best/ smoothest results.

Yes, there is a guide for cooking different types and amounts of rice. I taped to the cupboard door (inside) near my microwave.

Yes you can, just make sure that you stir the rice well as soon as you see the water gone otherwise the rice will stick to the bottom and you will end up with very little or hardly any rice.

There is a whole grain button I use to cook brown rice. The rice cooks very well, it just takes a while (~1.5 hrs for 1 cup rice).
