NICER RICER

a measuring cup that can be used to wash rice

Although rice from the supermarket is flawless and packaged, rice grains are washed before preparation. This hygienic procedure from ancient times is still a spiritual act of purification. But there is no suitable utensil for washing and water consumption is correspondingly high. In order to give new life to the original tradition, the Nicer Ricer finds a contemporary approach: the classic measuring cup, as known from every rice cooker, also serves as a tool for washing rice.
