Can rice be washed without falling through.

You should have no problem at all. The holes are very tiny. It washes really well to if you have a spray on your kitchen sink.

Oh yes. Rice washing just got better! It's all I use. Holes too tiny for rice to go through.

Haven't tried raw rice, but my impression is that it would not be a problem. The machine is sturdy, and has no trouble with annatto seed for example.

As long as you are not cooking the really small rice you should be fine. You may find some strays that get caught in the wire mesh, but the holes are really small.

I put a little rice in the shaker and that keeps it from getting moisture and clogging up.

I don't know. How I cook is put rice add water rinse rice then I measure it with about 3/4 of an inch from the rice surface to the top surface water. I don't follow rice cooker cooking instruction.

I wash the rice thoroughly and it cuts the strange smell and taste. Hope that helps if you have not done it already.

No not really, I had assumed it would keep bugs away but it does not. It is not exactly air tight. I recommend storing it where there are air flow. Most often bugs come in through the bag of which the rice came in from, so be aware of where you buy you rice.

Yes, rice will fall through the mesh. It's about 1/8 inch square. You should use the organic cotton muslin bags for grains like rice.

Nope, been using it for nearly a year now and the non-stick properties are very good if you cook the rice according to the directions.

No, in fact, I love the way our dishes look, and happy without using the toxins. I have heard that you can add white vinegar to the pre-wash section, and we use this in our rinse-aid compartment. Perhaps that might be worth a try? Are you scraping rice off before adding to the dishwasher? A tech once told me that rice is a no-no, that such plates need to be rinsed. Perhaps you have something in your dishwasher?

We have not had any issues with rice sticking to the removable insert. It is truly non-stick.

Sorry but we don't eat rice....this strainer is by far the best thing I have ever used. The fact that it is silicone and has those great handles on it is wonderful. It is collapiable and that is a bonus. It is very expensive, but worth it everyday in use and convenience.....

When I make brown rice water over flows a lot making white rice is not a problem.

I have not tried it with rice, but small grains would probably fall through until they have cooked.

No, unfortunately the holes are too big for rice and other small grains. Beans would be the smallest you could rinse with this particular strainer. Hope this helps.

I have not used the colander for cooking rice. However, if you are cooking rice in the colander some grains may fall through the holes if they are standing up. If you are using the colander to drain the rice I should be alright. Again, some grains may fall through but I do not think it would be a significant amount.

I too have prepared 1/2 cup of rice without any problems. Just remember to let it sit, unplugged, for a while after cooking otherwise a lot of rice will stick to the bottom.
