I happened to see this (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)and immediately thought of you, @JoNorvelleWalker

I have a simple rice rinser bowl but it just doesn't do an adequate job.

This one is perfect!

 

For washing rice I use this:

But I'm sure the bowl has other uses.

I have this one - looks like a bed pan 

 

(eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

 

I ended up getting a smaller one from TEMU for about $5.00 - I usually only cook a cup or less of rice

 

I found that by just setting it in the sink and using the spray option on my faucet I can leave it untended for about 3 - 4 minutes and the rice water is crystal clear with no lost rice - no swishing or decanting required

(one of the issues I had with that Inomata rice washing bowl was that the rice kernels were just the right size for sticking in the holes.  (I use Calrose rice a lot).  The other was draining the rice without it poring out the spout.  I like thta this one has it's own bowl and I can easily see when the water gets clear.  

A better mousetrap.

Zojirushi said not to use the insert for this because its surface has been engineered, so should be handled with care.

 

That I don't understand. Of course it's been engineered; they don't grow on trees. Sieves and bowls are engineered, too! Washing the rice in the insert is no different from washing the insert after dinner.

Wash Rice the Zojirushi Way

Preparation

Measure and add the desired amount of rice to the inner cooking pan of your Zojirushi rice cooker using the rice measuring cup that comes with it. Fill a separate bowl with clean, cool water and pour it into the inner pan.

Initial Rinse

With an open hand, stir the rice in the water 2-3 times, then drain. Repeat this initial rinse step up to three times, until the water begins to run clear. Be sure to spend no more than 10 seconds during each rinse, so the rice doesn’t absorb the starchy water.

Apart from the redundant second bowl, that's pretty much how I've ever seen anyone here do it here. No second bowl. Straight from the tap. The Chinese, the world's biggest rice eaters, are meticulous about cleaning rice. Obsessive, even.

I have that problem when washing basmati.  But Japonica rice works just fine.

I had high hopes for the Inomata .

 

when I use it , the rice sticks to the plastic 

 

and I need to use a utensil to scrape off all the bits 

 

into the rice cooker.  

 

w the stainless steel bowl , it all easily slips  to the RC ,

 

w a tap or two to the SS bowl.
