what is Tampah?


    Tampah, penampi, or nyiru is a tool used for winnowing, namely cleaning rice from husks or other grains of cereal from the skin. Tampah is generally in the form of large round trays (approximately 65–80 cm in diameter) made of woven bamboo tree trunks.
    Winnowing rice with winnowing is generally done to clean rice from dirt before washing and cooking. Winnowing with winnowing can be done by sifting manually by hand, then the dirt will be automatically removed. In addition to winnowing rice, winnowing is also useful for placing snacks commonly called cake winnows. Tampah is also used as a base for tumpeng, and also for drying crackers or gendar. This tool is still widely used by the people of Indonesia because the winnowing is a relatively inexpensive and practical tool in use.
