A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

You probably don't want to use plastics if you're concerned about bacteria.
Plastics can be put in the dishwasher. But then you also have to deal with microplastics.
I'm talking more about the micro abrasions plastics get.
Right I’m of the mind that silicone and metal are for me since those tools can be chucked into the dishwasher.
RIP your knifes
What is happening to the knives in this context?
Knives go dull much faster in the dishwasher. If you want to keep your knives sharp, you should be hand washing as soon as you’re done with them.
Also, get a damned knife block; Having your knives rattling around in a drawer is just asking for dull knives and accidents.
Yes. And they get sharpened until they die. They go in the dishwasher because my tools serve me, not the other way around, and they are adequate for what I do.
