A: No, the Panwa basket is intended for storing and serving sticky rice, not for steaming or cooking. Q: Will the food safe natural dye bleed through and color my sticky rice. A: If you don't use the provided liners for the hot rice, it's possible that in the first few uses, the dye could bleed onto the outer edge of the rice. If you don't want to use a liner and want to prevent this, simply drop the basket into simmering water for a few minutes and the dye will bleed out. Caution as this will reduce the vibrancy of the colors as well. Q: What should I do if the basket has an odor? A: There is no such thing as bug free grasses and reeds, all reed materials can contain small harmless bugs. For export, we insure there are no harmful chemicals used in sterilizing the reeds, they are placed in a wood fired oven that heats the reeds and sterilizes the material. If you experience this, place the basket outdoors and let it air, the wood smoke scent will decline and disappear. Up in the northern country many people still fill the baskets without the liner, in this case just give it a quick rinse with water and then let it air dry in the sunlight or simply wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry.

Products made in Thailand are generally (but not always) shipped from Thailand, not through another country. 🌱 Freshly Crafted: Bring out crisp new flavors in your old recipe, with our beautiful fashioned serving basket. As these sticky rice baskets are hewn by a fire to dry the reed stock, a faint hint of the charred scent is innate to the fabricated cane sedge and that fragrance enriches the rice grain contents. 🌱 Simple to clean: Rinse and air dry in the sunlight. Please note: These are serving baskets and not meant for steaming/cooking sweet rice; steaming will cause the plant dye on the exterior reeds to bleed through and tint the rice.
