Thai Sticky rice cooker

Traditional Thai Sticky Rice Cooker (Huad Set)

A Thai sticky rice cooker is a traditional and specialized tool used to make sticky or glutinous rice, a staple in Thai cuisine. This essential cooker allows you to achieve the authentic, fluffy, and perfectly sticky texture that distinguishes traditional Thai rice.

The unique steaming method, a technique also common in Lao and other Southeast Asian cuisines, ensures the rice cooks without becoming overly wet or mushy.

Key Components and Functionality

The cooker typically consists of two main, specialized components:

1. Aluminum or Stainless Steel Pot (The Base):
   • This metal pot forms the base where water is boiled to generate the necessary steam.
   • It is designed to create a secure fit with the basket above it.
2. Bamboo Basket (Huad - The Steamer):
   • This is a traditional, cone-shaped woven bamboo basket known as a Huad.
   • The Huad sits directly on top of the pot and holds the pre-soaked sticky rice.
   • The bamboo material and woven structure are key: they allow the steam to circulate completely around the rice, cooking it evenly and preserving its characteristic sticky yet fluffy texture.

Traditional Cooking Process

The traditional cooking method involves two simple steps:

1. Soaking: The sticky rice must be soaked in water for several hours prior to cooking.
2. Steaming: The soaked rice is placed into the bamboo basket (Huad), and the steam from the boiling water cooks the rice to perfection.

This dedicated steaming method is the secret to achieving the ideal texture for authentic Thai sticky rice.
