A Stand-Up Rice Paddle

M_86452This is kind of genius. The Standing Rice Scoop solves the conundrum of where to put the rice paddle after you've served rice.

Put an ordinary paddle back in the pot, and the cover remains ajar, letting the rice cool and dry out. But, leave the paddle out, and you'll get sticky rice on the table. Instead, this brilliant standing paddle from Japan stands upright, so you can completely re-seal your rice pot and keep your table clean. Brilliant.

Made of polypropylene, with an embossed surface to prevent sticking. Dishwasher-safe. $8.00 at MoMA.

Also serves up a great backhand at table tennis.

 

I've always wondered if anyone had ever bothered to invent utensils made for easy clean up. It turns out there are many such products on the market today. However, some of these products don't live up to their expectations. This stand up rice paddle seems promising though. I hate leaving pots open and letting the inside contents get cold. Rice especially :(. But messes on the table (especially rice because of the small grains) don't solve the problem of where to set down the utensil. This stand up rice paddle is an intelligent design..all the more better because of it's $8.00 price.
