Whether you’re a sushi-making pro or an amateur, having a few basic tools to enable your experience can be of great help. Besides making the perfect rolls, making sushi at home is also a great bonding activity.
Look for a rice cooker with a non-stick inner pot and settings for sushi rice or sticky rice.
Bamboo rolling mats used to roll maki provide the necessary structure and pressure to shape the rolls neatly.
A flat, non-metallic utensil used for mixing and handling rice, the paddle’s gentle handling helps prevent damaging the grains.
A long, thin and sharp knife specifically designed with single-bevel blades which allows for precise cuts.
A large, shallow bowl of wood or plastic is ideal for mixing sushi rice with vinegar because they don't react with the abrasive ingredient.
