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.

Aroma stainless steel for a cheap rice cooker that will last forever but will make bad rice if your water rice ratio is off by a little, if you wait too long after it finishes, etc.

Zojurishi for top of the line premium quality for a premium price.

There are some other Japanese and Korean premium rice cookers that make rice just slightly worse than zojurishi but have a much cheaper price (relative to zojurishi). Tiger and Sakura are two of them.

We own a Tiger and it's fine. Does what it's supposed to.
