JOYCE CHEN Stainless Steel Rice Strainer Bowl 9.5-inch – Angled Draining Base & Agitator Bumps for Faster, Cleaner Rinsing

This stainless-steel rice washer and strainer from JOYCE CHEN is designed to make rinsing grains, produce, and pasta faster, cleaner, and more efficient. Built from durable, rust-resistant stainless steel, it combines a roomy 9.5-inch diameter basin with a 5-inch depth, angled bottom for easy draining, and small but well-placed drain holes that keep food secure while water exits quickly. The textured agitator bumps at the base help loosen starch and debris so rice comes out cleaner with fewer rinses.

How does this rice washer speed up rinsing rice and grains?

The combination of agitator bumps and a large basin lets you move rice and water together to dislodge starch without spilling. Because the bowl is deep and wide, you can agitate larger batches in one go, reducing the number of rinse cycles needed.

• Agitator bumps loosen surface starch quickly for clearer rinse water.
• 9.5" diameter accommodates 2–4 cups of uncooked rice comfortably.
• Angled bottom guides water toward the drain holes for fast removal.

Will the holes let small grains or produce escape while draining?

The drain holes are sized to allow water to pass freely while keeping rice, grains, and most small vegetables inside the basin. The angled design also lets you tip the bowl to drain thoroughly without losing contents.

• Properly sized perforations prevent rice and small grains from escaping.
• Angled base enables controlled tipping so you only pour water out.
• Deep walls reduce splashing and accidental spills while rinsing.

Is this colander durable and easy to store?

Constructed of rust-resistant stainless steel, the JOYCE CHEN rice strainer is built to withstand frequent use and the effects of wet kitchen environments. A hang hole in the rim makes it simple to store on a hook, freeing up cabinet space and keeping the washer within reach.

• High-quality stainless steel resists corrosion and staining.
• Sturdy construction holds heavier foods like potatoes or drained pasta.
• Integrated hang hole provides space-saving storage on hooks or racks.

Can I use it for tasks beyond washing rice?

Yes — the bowl functions as a versatile kitchen tool suitable for rinsing fruits and vegetables, draining pasta, or washing grains like quinoa and barley. Its size and design make it useful for many everyday prep tasks where efficient draining and agitation help deliver cleaner results.

• Rinse berries, lettuce, and other produce without bruising.
• Drain pasta and noodles while keeping them contained.
• Wash legumes and small grains with the same quick drainage benefits.

Who is this for? Home cooks who prepare rice or grains regularly and want a durable, easy-to-clean rinse-and-drain solution will benefit most. It’s ideal for small families, meal preppers, and anyone who prefers stainless steel over plastic for longevity and hygiene. If you value efficient rinsing, sturdy construction, and compact storage, the JOYCE CHEN Stainless Steel Rice Strainer Bowl is a practical addition to your kitchen tools.
