Product Overview

The 5934 rice paddle is designed for small portions and confined spaces. Its 40 mm-wide head fits slim lunch boxes and small rice molds, with a shaped tip that combines a corner and a curved edge for placing rice where a broader paddle is awkward.

Fine embossing helps rice release from the serving face. A small molded foot on the underside supports the paddle when it is set down, keeping the working end above the tabletop between portions.

This Japanese-made polypropylene paddle is sold individually. The compact size is useful for filling a lunch box, working around a rice mold or placing a little rice on nori for a hand roll. Wet the head before use and clean it after serving.

Fill lunch boxes and small molds

The narrow head can move inside a slim lunch box without needing the space of a broad rice paddle. The tip combines a corner and a curve, giving you different edges for guiding rice into the container.

Place small portions first, then spread them gently to the shape you need. The same compact face is useful for adding rice to nori when preparing a hand roll. Bowls, lunch boxes and molds are sold separately.

Rest the head above the worktop

The small foot molded into the underside supports the paddle when it is laid down. This raises the serving end from a flat tabletop between portions without requiring a separate rest.

Set it on a clean, level surface with the foot underneath and the head clear of surrounding tools. The underside photograph shows the support and the recessed handle profile so you can see how the resting position works.

Wet before serving, wash after use

Wash the paddle before first use, and dip the head in water before portioning rice. After serving, use mild dish detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly before storage. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or scouring powders that can scratch the surface.

Keep the paddle away from flames and heated pans. Do not leave it inside a rice cooker, where prolonged heat can deform it. The paddle is intended for rice preparation and serving rather than stovetop cooking.
