 Simply makes perfect sticky rice every time. July 6, 2010
Eric G. Twickler (Worcester, MA, USA)
This is not a complicated product. Using it is fairly easy. I'm giving it five stars. The basket is large and that is very good because you can pick it up and not get burned by the steam.
Put two inches of water in the pot and boil the water. When steaming put the basket on it with your sticky rice in it. Cover with any lid about the size of the top of the pot not critical. It will make about three cups of steamed rice at a time. About four to six servings? Cooking time is less than twenty minutes maybe more at high elevations.
Soak rice over night or for about six hours. Drain and rinse once. Drain well. Put in basket. Steam about eight minutes. Turn the sticky rice over in the basket. Use a soft plastic bowl scraper to ease the rice mass into a ball you can flip in the basket. Continue steaming another eight minutes. There is a great demo here [...] in case you need help.
Cleaning the basket. Allow basket to cool and dry. Brush or gently scrape any rice off the inside. If you use it every day add any left over rice to the new batch of rice you are making it can be resteamed.
For a fast and hearty meal maybe even healty too, let the pot continue to steam, and in a regular metal steamer basket add chicken pieces and assorted veggie pieces you cut up previously. When cooked add flavorings of your choice and make or buy a dipping sauce.
 Good product but not the best online merchant December 17, 2009

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.
Love it. July 8, 2009

This product cooks glutenous rice perfect every time. Very simple to use and clean. Nice conversational piece when you have guests over.
The only way to go for Thai sticky rice. June 24, 2009
Erich R. Moeller (Dubuque, Iowa USA)
Plain and simple. The pot is made in Thailand for expressly this purpose. Why would you buy anything else? It's stone-age simple. The aluminum pot is durable and thin enough that the water boils quickly for steam, but not so thin to feel cheap. Also, the basket is well made and should hold together for a long time. It will need replacing eventually due to the method of cooking, but not for some time to come.
If you've been to Thailand, and you're hankering for the flavors of that far-away land, this is a sure fire way to have it at home. My wife and I make it at least once a month.

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.
