Rice Catcher

For you rice cookers out there-
Am I the only one that didn't know about these? It wasn't until recently (when I was visiting Korea) that I came across this cute little rice catcher at Emart. To be honest, whenever I made rice sometimes most of the times I was too lazy to do a thorough rinse. Why? Well, I just had this thing where it bugged me if any rice fell out of the pot I felt like I "lost" the rice cleaning game. So, usually one rinse it was. I know, I know, pure laziness. But hey, now I have no excuse with this thing.

At first looking at it I was a little skeptical. How can this small rice catcher stand against the towering tumbling wave of rice? I figured for $3 might was well give it a shot. The little clip-on tool was sitting in the back of my drawer for weeks until one day I finally got caught cheating on the rice cleaning method. (Not like anyone noticed the difference in texture or taste anyway.)

So I tested this little smiling-plastic-bowl-of-rice thing and.....it works so well! Not a grain could pass it! Now I actually enjoy cleaning the rice and testing the catcher every time. "Will it miss this time? What if I put more rice in it? What if I pour it fast?" Still catches 'em all!
