What kind of processing is the 'sandblast' mentioned in the beer mug description?

After seeing the description that the inside of the beer mug is sandblasted, one wonders why the inside of the glass was deliberately made rough.

What is the reason the holes in the rice washing bowl are perforated in a mountain shape?

The phrase "mountain-shaped perforations aligned with the flow of water" appears in the product description, and I am asking because I am curious about what role this actually plays when washing and rinsing rice.

hmmm editorial answer

It is an arrangement designed so that when the bowl is tilted to pour out water, it aligns with the flow of water so only the water drains smoothly while the rice remains.

I would like to sanitize the glass seasoning container thoroughly, but is it okay to boil it in boiling water?

Since it is a glass container that holds food, people often try to sanitize it with boiling water before the first use. It is necessary to check whether boiling water sanitization or dishwasher use is possible for both the glass and the lid.

hmmm editorial answer

The container body is not heat-resistant glass, so it must not be boiled in boiling water, and as for the dishwasher, only the glass body excluding the lid can be placed in it.

Is there a reason why the ladle head is oval-shaped instead of round?

Seeing the oval shape, which is different from typical round ladles, makes me wonder what advantages it offers when cooking.
