Stainless Steel Water Bowls

Keeping a bowl of fresh water in the refrigerator (or freezer) is common in Thailand. When guests arrive, cold water or ice is always available for them. 12 years ago when Jerry and Yaowalak got married, a relative gave us stainless steel water bowls exactly like this. We've used them almost daily, for everything. They're lightweight, durable, and convenient. Our kids have used them for watercolor painting, we use them as cereal bowls, ice cream bowls, anything around the house, on camping trips, digging on a sandy beach, and more. They look the same today as they did 12 years ago.

This bowl also offers a simple alternative to the electric rice cooker, as we found that it produces perfect steamed rice just like it was made in old times (see pictures and our street vendor video below). Also see our recipe for Khanom Chan using the water bowls.

The bowls are made of pure stainless steel by Zebra-Head. Each bowl is 5 3/4" across, 2" tall, with 3 cup capacity. Product of Thailand.
$12.95 Set of Two.
Using the stainless steel water bowl to prepare perfect steamed rice. The old-fashioned method.
Just put 1/2 cup of dry, unrinsed jasmine rice into the bowl, top with 1 cup water, and place inside your stacked steamer. The stacked steamer has two levels and you can put one bowl on each level if you prefer.

With the base level at least half-full of water, bring it to a rolling boil and let it boil for 20 minutes. Remove from steamer and enjoy the perfectly steamed rice. There is an "artisan" feel to making rice this way. To give the rice a lovely flavor and aroma, we love putting about 1/2 teaspoon pandan paste into the water in the base level of the stacked steamer.
