Sunpentown SC-10 22-Pound Rice Dispenser Review
I bought this rice dispenser because I go through a lot of rice...obviously. About a 20 lb. bag a month on average. Which, if you're Asian, is enough to feed one person. My mother has something similar in her household, but it holds 50 lbs. br /br /So if you're a family of semi-casual rice eaters or a regular rice eater in a household of one, this might be the perfect sized dispenser for you to ensure you have an easy way of dispensing rice without letting it sit so long it becomes stale. br /br /The plastic box is fairly sturdy and is of a slim enough design that I've been able to tuck it away in a small corner. While the openings aren't triple sealed...it's been enough to deter household critters since I haven't noticed anything unsavory in my rice in the year that I've owned this dispenser. The top is easy to load, the see through window lets you know when it's time to refill, and the 22 lbs capacity allows you to refill with a 20 lb. bag (which most rice can be found in) without totally running out. br /br /The dispenser dispenses a perfect cup, but it's perfect by rice cooker standards. I've found that a push of this dispenser releases just enough rice to fill a "standard" rice cup found in most Asian rice cookers...which just happen to be smaller than the typical American one cup serving size. Great for me since I have a Zojurishi rice cooker and don't feel like fiddling with the measuring cup that came with the cooker, but maybe not great for those who are expecting your typical amount.

I go through a 50 lb bag of rice about once every six months. Even though that's a decent amount of rice, I wasn't sure if a rice dispenser would be all that useful for me.br /br /However, I've loved this product from day one. No spilled grains from scooping from an open bag. No struggling to get grains from an almost empty bag. Looks a lot better than an open bag.br /br /I do need to put away the half bag after the first fill though, so I stick the half-empty bag in a closet. You might want to stick with the 20 lb bags of rice if you don't want to do that, but I like the extra savings you get with the 50 lb bags.br /br /I also got a coupon for leaving feedback so the final price could actually be really cheap.br /br /btw, when they say "1 cup" they mean the small cup. The amount dispensed is actually 2/3 of a cup. I have no problems with that though since I've made enough rice in my life that I just eye the water levels.
