Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sticky Rice Steamer Pot and Basket
Customer Review: The ONLY way to cook Thai Sticky Rice
Summary: 4 Stars
I've made Thai sticky rice a few times and this pot and basket makes the best rice. I tried it in a rice cooker and just in a pan in it always came out like a gelatinous blob. This design is simple and works perfect, for the authentic taste and texture.
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. 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.
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.
If you love Thai food, buy it!
Customer Review: The only option for real Thai sticky rice.
Summary: 4 Stars
All you get with this set is a bamboo-woven cone and a light aluminum pot, but it can be useful. I now use the pot to steam all sorts of things with a Chinese multi-layer bamboo steamer on top. The pot's thin, uncoated aluminum walls are perfect for quickly boiling water for steam (I don't recommend cooking in the water). Please note that Thai sticky rice (white or black) is long-grain and a different breed than Chinese or Japanese "sweet rice". Sticky rice is impossible to get right without this basket; if you want that real south-east asian taste this is probably the best deal online right now.Customer Review: Good product but not the best online merchant
Summary: 4 Stars
We ordered this item a few years ago from the Wok Shop. It makes great, traditional sticky rice. A week ago we decided to order two more as Christmas gifts from the Wok Shop through their web site (at the time we weren't aware that they were also selling on Amazon). Several days later we were informed that the item was out of stock and wouldn't be available until mid January 2010. As a consumer and occasional online seller myself, I expect them to keep better control over their inventory. Don't order this item if you need it in a hurry. But, if you can wait, it's just fine.Customer Review: need some kind of storage cover
Summary: 4 Stars
Like this product. Used it a few times. But wish it could come with some kind of storage bag cuz I can't seem to find anything big enough to cover it so that dust won't collect on it while it's not being used.
