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.

Cuckoo. It's a Korean brand, probably better than the Japanese brands imo. If you have an H-mart near you they'll have a couple models on the floor you can look at, but I bought mine on amazon. It's big, fast, can cook all types of rice with special settings, and everything that comes in contact with the rice pot is removable for cleaning. It's been going strong for about 5 years and I use it at least once a week.
You can also cook anything in there. It comes with a steamer tray too for vegetables or sweet potatoes. Apparently mine can cook a whole chicken but I have yet to try that. Oh and it talks too, plus it makes a cute choo-choo train sound to signal it'll vent steam in a second.
Citation? My Japanese one is > 8 years old and still going strong making perfect rice. My in-laws have had theirs longer. I've never used a Korean one to compare anything, but no complaints with mine.
lol, you wanna fight? Mine is better than yours, source is your mom. I made her rice when she was over last. She was impressed. :::
What kind of response is this? If there were actual facts to present, then it would be useful to the thread and the concept of this community.
Maybe do your own research? I was the only person to mention a non-Japanese cooker. It does more and lasts as long. Go look it up.
