Great basket! Holds at least 2 cups of rice, maybe 3. Bottom is solid; you tip it to let water drain out of the small perforations opposite the side with a lip, so you can keep a good grip on it. The holes are nice and small. No worrying about any rice grains slipping through. I can think of plenty of other things you can rinse with it, veggies as well as grains like quinoa, etc. I like the oval shape. Much easier to manage than a round sieve, and it holds more than even a large sieve. (Which is what I had been using.) it's good, solid plastic, not too rigid, and easy to wash.
