Washing rice in a sufuria and trying to drain the water without losing half the grains down the sink is a daily frustration in Kenyan kitchens — and this rice washing strainer ends it completely. The leaf-shaped perforated design holds rice, lentils, beans, and small grains securely while letting water drain freely through the slots, and the built-in pot-clip sits firmly on the rim of any standard sufuria or bowl so both hands stay free throughout. Lightweight, BPA-free, and compact enough to hang on a hook after use — a small tool that removes one of the most repetitive annoyances from everyday meal prep across Nairobi homes and East African kitchens.

Also known as: Rice Washer, Rice Colander, Rice Drainer, Grain Strainer, Kitchen Colander

• Leaf-Shaped Perforations Hold Grains In While Water Drains Out — The precisely spaced slots across the leaf body are sized to let water flow freely while keeping rice, lentils, beans, and small grains securely inside — no more cupping hands over a sufuria or losing grains down the sink during rinsing.
• Built-In Pot Clip Holds the Strainer Firmly on Any Bowl or Sufuria — The white clip attachment at the base locks onto the rim of a standard pot, bowl, or sufuria, keeping the strainer in place while you pour — freeing both hands and removing the balancing act that makes traditional draining awkward and wasteful.
• Multi-Purpose — Works for Rice, Lentils, Beans, Pasta, and Vegetables — Beyond rice, the strainer handles washing and draining kunde, dengu, small pasta, quinoa, and light vegetables — one tool covering multiple daily prep tasks without a bulky full-size colander taking up drawer space.
• BPA-Free Food-Grade Plastic Safe for Everyday Use — Made from non-toxic, food-grade BPA-free plastic that is safe for direct contact with all food types — no chemical leaching, no rust, and no degrading with regular washing and daily kitchen use.
• Hanging Hook Built In for Easy Storage After Use — A loop at the top of the handle lets you hang the strainer on a hook, rail, or peg after rinsing — no hunting through a cluttered drawer, and no moisture trapped under a flat-stored tool.

This strainer is ideal for anyone who cooks rice daily and wants a faster, neater way to rinse and drain without spillage or waste. It suits small Nairobi apartments where a full-size colander takes up more space than the kitchen can spare. It is also a practical addition for anyone who regularly washes lentils, beans, or small pasta and wants one compact tool that handles all of them without a dedicated colander for each.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this strainer fit on a standard Kenyan sufuria?

Yes. The clip attachment is designed to grip the rim of standard cooking pots and bowls. It works on most round sufurias and mixing bowls of a typical household size — simply clip it onto the rim, tilt the pot slowly, and the water drains through while the rice stays inside.

Q: Can I use this for washing beans and lentils or only rice?

The strainer works well for rice, dengu, kunde, small lentils, and light pasta shapes. For very small grains like sesame seeds it is not recommended, as the slot spacing is optimised for rice-sized grains and above.

Nairobi gets hot. And when it does — whether you are hosting guests on a Sunday, chilling a fresh juice after the market, or dropping cubes into a cold drink at the end of a long day — the last thing you want to fight with is a stiff plastic ice tray that wets your hands and sends cubes flying across the kitchen. The Household Ice Cube Maker fixes all of that with a single satisfying press. One push of the centre button releases all 30 ice cubes at once — no touching, no twisting, no mess. The transparent base shows you exactly when the ice is ready, and the whole unit stacks flat in your freezer so it takes almost no space at all.

• 30 ice cubes released in one press — no hand contact needed — a centre push-button mechanism pops all 30 cubes loose simultaneously so they drop cleanly into your glass or container, keeping your hands warm and dry and the ice completely untouched and hygienic
• See-through base shows you exactly when ice is ready — the clear transparent lower section lets you check the freeze progress without opening the tray, so you know at a glance whether to wait another hour or serve immediately
• Airtight lid seals ice for storage after pressing — if you only need a few cubes at a time, the solid coloured lid snaps back down to seal the remaining ice inside, preventing freezer odours and bacteria from getting in between uses
• Stackable design saves freezer space — multiple units stack directly on top of each other in the freezer so you can make 60 or 90 cubes at a time for a party or event without sacrificing shelf space for other frozen items
• Food-grade BPA-free materials safe for all drinks — made from PP, PET, and ABS materials that are non-toxic, odourless, and food-safe, suitable for use with water, juice, cocktails, and even for moulding jelly or chocolate as an alternative to standard moulds

This ice maker is perfect for households that entertain guests regularly, anyone who loves a cold drink at home but is tired of wrestling with a traditional ice tray, and home bar enthusiasts who want clean, uniform cubes without the mess. At KES 950, it is a small, once-off kitchen upgrade that makes a noticeable difference every single day the sun is out — which in Nairobi is most of them. Available in yellow, teal, and cream colourways.
