Tub Use & Care
The
Sushi Tub plays an integral role in the flavour and quality of the
sushi rice produced, so it deserves a little respect.
Treat
your Sushi Tub with care and it will reward you with many years
of delicious sushi rice!
|
|
|
Always
dampen the Tub before use to prevent sushi rice sticking to
the dry wood. This also helps keep the rice cool and fresh after
preparation.
|
Leave
the Tub to dry in a cool airy place. |
 |
| Wipe
out or rinse the Tub immediately after use before the left-over
rice grains dry out and become stuck. |
Store
in a cool dark place away from direct drying heat which may cause
the timber to shrink and separate. |
|
Do
not soak the Tub as this
may cause deterioration of the timber and separation at the base.
If rice is stuck, place a damp cloth over grains or rinse the tub
to re-wet and leave until dried rice grains soften.
|
The
timber of your Sushi Tub will darken and become seasoned with
use. This means your sushi will taste better and better with each
batch.
|
|
| Hand
wash only in warm soapy water with a soft sponge or cloth. Do
not put in dishwasher.
(nor microwave nor oven) |
The
copper binding hoop will darken and tarnish with use. This is normal.
|
|
| Do
not use harsh or caustic cleaning chemicals as this will react
with the copper binding hoop and cause staining of the wood. The chemicals
may also taint your sushi rice. |
If
you are using your Sushi Tub in a commercial kitchen we suggest you
take the care instructions on the next page and place in a prominent
place so your co-workers do not mistreat your Tub. |
|
| Do
not use pot scourers which will roughen the wood especially against
the grain. |
