How do you get rice to NOT burn your hands when making rice balls? I put butter and salt on them like I've seen web sites say, but I still burn my hands to death!!!!! Is there any ways to make them not burn when making them? <3

Rice ball Mould? sweatdrop

Ive had the same problem with them (also have trouble getting them to stay together but thats totally off topic i guess)

Maybe some type of kitchen gloves would work...though I dunno if they actually have those..

The butter is probably helping to burn your hands. When I was making onigiri a few summers back, I had a little paper fan (storebought, not made out of looseleaf or anything) that I would use to cool down the rice until it was tolerable to hold. I also used cold water on my hands, and then sprinkled salt on them to keep the rice from sticking. I just think that the oil from the butter would cause more pain than anything.

Have you tried putting semisweet baking chocolate into your still warm onigiri? Oh man, so good. It's all melty and wonderful. 4laugh heart

I actually bought a rice ball mould and it helps a bunch.

They are pretty cheap but I had some trouble finding one originally so ended up buying one off ebay.

I put plastic sandwich bags on my hands because I don't like rice sticking to my hands. I haven't had a problem with the heat but I suppose you could use thick latex gloves. In fact I recal seeing some at the store on special awhile ago: silicone gloves designed for use as oven mitts! I bet that would work great!
