My wife is from the Philippines. You can be damned sure we have a rice cooker. :)
Jo Koy has a bit where you can always find the dark kitchen in a Filipino house. Aim for the red light on the rice cooker. Also, that video taught me to cook rice. My wife was laughing her ass off because it’s perfectly true.
I pour the lead in silicone molds which I have from making resin doodads. Made a Han Solo in carbonite! Also have a Death Star, an octopus and a little pyramid. Takes a long time to gather enough for even a small project. I got the melter because I was going to try my hand at making bullets for my black powder guns but I’ve since soured on that project.
