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 like my glass measuring cups but the printing on them has really disappeared over time. Does anyone have a measuring cup that they love?

Hey, no big deal!

Mostly we use the singular measuring cups. We can't seem to keep them for long because kids are right on stuff. I'm not really sure if I have a full set of cups.

Also, when we cook, it's pretty loose to the recipe. The exception is baking.

Gotcha, yeah makes sense . Thank you for answering candidly-cooking is one of those things, the more I learn the more I realize how different everybody is
