How to use it
Pressed and wrapped in three steps
- 01
Wet the mold
Dip the mold and its lid in cold water and shake off the drops, so warm rice slides out cleanly later.
- 02
Fill and press
Half fill with warm cooked rice, add a teaspoon of filling, top up with rice and press the lid down firmly.
- 03
Turn it out
Lift the lid, turn the mold over onto your palm or a sheet of nori and ease the rice ball out.
Close up
Four pieces, two sizes
Large mold
The bigger triangle, for a filling rice ball in an adult's lunch. Ribbed walls let you see the rice level through the plastic.
Small mold
A smaller triangle for a child's lunchbox, a snack plate or a bento with several fillings.
Press lid
Each mold has its own lid. It sits inside the walls and packs the rice down evenly when you press.
Dimpled face
Rows of small raised ovals cover the face that meets the rice. Wet it before each press, the same as the mold.
Compared
Mold, bare hands or plastic wrap?
Hand shaping is the traditional way and worth learning. The mold is for weekday lunches, when you want six the same size in a few minutes.

Questions
Japanese short grain or sushi rice, cooked and still warm, holds a triangle shape well. Long grain rice such as basmati is too dry and loose to keep its shape once it cools.
Shortly before eating if you like the seaweed crisp, or straight away if you prefer it soft. Until then, keep the rice ball wrapped in plastic wrap so the outside does not dry.
Wet the mold and lid with cold water before every rice ball and dip the spoon too. Rubbing a pinch of salt onto damp hands before you lift the rice ball out helps as well.
Anything firm and not too wet: flaked salmon, tuna with a little mayonnaise, pickled plum, cooked chicken or seasoned egg. Keep it to about a teaspoon so the rice closes round it.
