Buffalo stainless steel rice cooker
Yeah but it has nonstick coat which scratches so easily after awhile. I got the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy already and no matter how I was careful with it, wash rice in another bowl, use the silicone paddle, still scratched

What’s the BIFL item that you love but everyone around you thinks is ridiculous?
I’ve had a fair amount of zojirushi products and they’ve all worked incredibly well. I had the neuro fuzzy and it was amazing, but it got lost in a move. Now I have a cuckoo (South Korea’s zojirushi) and it cooks rice 95% as good for half the price, plus it has a GABA rice feature which cooks brown rice to just a slightly chewier texture than white rice.

Uniqlo basic tees and their selvage jeans are good everything else is sub par quality. Muji has better quality shirts. Charhartt wip are pricey but worth it. Work boots. If you can afford redwings those are amazing. If you cant, wolverines are good intro boots. Ive had a pair for 10 years and counting ive only had them repaired once. Watch I chose a seiko automatic not too expensive but reliable easy to maintain and relatively stylish. As someone that walks as a main mode of transportation there are NO BIFL sneakers/shoes so buy whatevers comfortable and just trust that youll need to replace them after a year (or 2 max) and since everyones foot is different youll need to find a shoe that you have tried before buying. Rain coat columbia is the best IMO. North face is literally the heaviest out of the rest. Patagonia is OK but theres something about it im not comfortable with. Backpack. Waxed canvas. Just remember to check the wax on it regularly. No specific brand in mind its more of the upkeep I have literally 20+ different insulated tumblers ive only used 2 on a daily basis. One is a standard 22oz silver one with no paint coating. Its all beat up but it has character and since it doesnt have paint my ocd doesnt get triggered. The second one is an old hydroflask back when they were just starting and not a money grab company they are now. Its an open top cap one for coffee. Lunch box, zojirushi lunch jar. Yes this is pricy but as someone who is well in his 30s and brings lunch to work this is awesome cause it keeps food hot for 8hrs (warm till 12hrs) ive had mine since college. This thing is pretty indestructible im pretty sure it would out live me. Also since im also part asian zojirushi rice cookers are built to be handed down generationally. Right now im out of what else to recommend but let me know if youre looking for a specific item ill let you know my thoughts on it. Yeah other people would recommend the best most expensive but on an actual practical level im a pretty safe bet to ask.

Can someone please rec a drip coffee maker that won't rust on the base where the pot sits? Bonus if it is 6 cups or less. Even being careful, mine always drip and rust.
On the advice of America’s test kitchen I got the Zojirushi Zutto, it’s a simple 6 cup machine but it brews really good coffee. The only downside is that it takes the 4-6 cup Melitta cone filters and you have to fold them along the crease to fit but it’s not too annoying.

Someone asks for drip coffee maker i always recommend my zojirushi coffee maker [zojurushi YTC100](https://shop.zojirushi.com/products/ecytc) Ive had the same one for probably 8 years now - still works as if it were brand new. Thermal carafe > glass carafe. No hot plate to worry about rust or glass shattering. The best part is they sell or will replace individual parts so you dont have to buy a whole new machine if you dont need to.

A list of BIFL not made in the USA
Rice cooker - Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 Neuro Fuzzy (Japan)
View on Redditopen_in_new - #14Jan 6, 2025
What is your favorite category of BIFL products?
I am not saying electronics can't be BIFL but most aren't because we want "feature". We have maybe 6 pieces of electronics that made it past 10 years that we still use regularly. Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker Zojirushi Micom Water Boiler & Warmer Vitamax from Costco years A Bothers Laserjet/Scanner combo GE Cafe Series Fridge from like 2013, no Wifi nothing special other than it boils hot water DD-WRT based gigabyte router (no wifi) The common thing these 6 things all do well is that they do their primary function extremely well and based on well established protocols. There no bell and whistles on top.

Zojirushi v.s. Tiger Made in Japan rice cookers
I have the tiger and I regret it. It’s a very nice machine that cooks brown rice perfectly. For white rice, the tiger made the rice nicely but the issue is that the warm function is entirely too hot and dries the rice out quickly. If you take all the rice out after cooking this shouldn’t be an issue, but I keep a pot on all day to have nice warm rice. Make sure you get a Zojirushi neuro fuzzy model. Those a made in Japan.the micom version is made in Thailand or somewhere else.
