What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)
What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)
This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.
Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:
Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool
Old Thinkpad Laptops
Mag lights
Toyota Hilux

Rice cookers.You can get really simple ones that just work and due to little components they will last a while. IMO they're really worth it if you cook rice often or can't for the love of god not mess it up while cooking. They're really cheap as well.The AK-47 is a specific product from the class of assault rifles, whereas “rice cooker” product class, not a specific product of a class.
Ah right, the post confused me a bit.
I recently bought a zojirushi rice cooker because of their reputation for making perfect rice and lasting decades. So it's the AK of rice cookers. Or more like the AR because it was $200.
My man... 200 for a rice cooker, does it at least give you a reach around?
It even plays a happy little tune while it does it.
Okay, I'm sold.
To be fair there's probably almost no moving parts in a rice cooker. Someone mentioned cast iron pans. I think that's a fair example.
Other people are saying "cast iron" or other broad brands/categories, but this is the only one that doesn't fall under OP's request?? Nonsense.
