Buy it for Life

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.

Instant Pots aren't a fad anymore, either, so you can probably pick one up used cheap or on a buy nothing group.

I don't use my instant pot for rice because a saucepan is simpler and easier to clean, but I'm happy with it and I'm sure it would work just fine for rice.

I use mine for rice, and it works well. No issues with cleaning, just throw it in the dishwasher.

I use mine for rice but it also gets used as a slow cooker and steamer (also, soft boiled eggs are super easy) when necessary
