Sticky rice steaming pot and basket Reviews
The only downside is that it is another device to put away in your kitchen and you really won't use it for anything else besides sticky rice. If you love Thai food, buy it. I've made Thai sticky rice a few times and this pot and basket makes the best rice. This design is simple and works perfect, for the authentic taste and texture. Make sure you use the right rice, and have cheesecloth on hand. Also you'll need a pot lid to put over it since it does not come with one. Also, the basket is a little hard to clean, since it's only bamboo, so i usually just let it dry and flick out the few dried grains that get stuck. I tried it in a rice cooker and just in a pan in it always came out like a gelatinous blob.
2. 1. 5. Like others have said, make sure you have true Thai sticky rice or else you will just have plain old rice. After spending a lot of time in Thailand, I became hooked on sticky rice and I was lucky enough to find an asian food store that sells sticky rice just down the road from me.
This rice steaming basket is exactly what I used when I was in Thailand, so it was easy for me to use it. I like my sticky rice with Thai sweet/hot sauce :) Enjoy. 3. Make sure you use a lid that fits close to the rice.
The problem was, I couldn't seem to get it right with my own steaming methods. Make sure you rinse the rice until the water runs clear and then soak overnight.and make sure you put it in a container that the cats can't get into or else you will be cleaning up rice for weeks.oops. I use the lid off of my small sauce pan. Wrap the rice in cheese cloth, it makes things so much easier. 4.
Words of advice.
LOVE IT. I was happy to find it and be able to use it too. My step-mom is Thai and used this all the time.
shipping was fast and i have no complaints whatsoever. This was exactly what i was looking for and i found it for real cheap.
Highly recommended. Fast delivery, too. This is a terrific product sold at a great price.
