OXO Rice and Grain Colander Giveaway

Grains and Rice are a regular and staple part of my diet and I use them a lot in my cooking. The best way to cook grain and rice is to look them  over and remove any discoloured grain or rice and any stones etc.  

Once you have done that it’s very important to wash the rice and grain thoroughly in plenty of changes in cold water to remove any starch and impurities prior to cooking. This is an important step in recipe preparation and should not be overlooked.

I find that the holes in a standard colander are too large to drain and often than not end up with half the grain rice falling through. To make my life easy I have started using the OXO Rice and Grain Colander.

It has holes designed to allow water to drain slowly to wash impurities and starch from the rice and grain.

The water pools before draining to show when water is clear and grains are clean. The small, square holes help prevent tiny grains from falling through, and the extra drain holes in the pour spout remove excess water and keep grains contained.

The colander has soft, comfortable, non-slip handles which are perfect for agitating grains, shaking out water, and pouring into pots or bowls. The colander is also great for washing fruit, salads and vegetables. It retails at £9.99 and you can purchase it online or from most kitchen ware retailers

I was sent a colander to review and all photos were supplied and used with permission from OXO.









As always I love my readers to try products I feature at simplyfood . OXO have been kind and have agreed to send one OXO Rice and Grain colander to a simply food reader.
