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:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I've had a super cheap, simple rice cooker for ages and it's awesome. IIRC, it was only $10. The bowl is removable and easy to clean and it's so super basic, there's very few points of failure.

The brand is Ouyou or something like that. Not home rn to see.

Edit: Oster. That's the brand.

+1 for cheap rice cookers. Dead simple cooking mechanism, no seals or gaskets that get super gross, it's great
