Brilio.net - Rice dispenser has become one of the important kitchen appliances in the house. Its function is not only to store rice so that it remains durable and long-lasting, but also to protect it from contamination by lice or other pests.
Rice dispensers are available in a variety of choices and can be easily found in supermarkets, supermarkets, and traditional markets. Various unique designs and shapes add to its appeal as a kitchen appliance.
In addition to buying in stores, rice dispensers can also be made yourself using used items at home. One example of this innovation was shared via the TikTok account @ rudi69.bosantampan, where a man managed to modify various simple materials into a tight and anti-lice rice dispenser.
As reported by brilio.net on Saturday (22/3), at first glance, the appearance of this rice dispenser looks simple. He seems to be using a used gallon for his rice container. However, if you look closely, it turns out that the gallon is upside down.

So, the used gallon filled with rice looks upside down. However, the part has been perforated and given a gallon funnel. TikTok user @rudi69.bosantampan admitted that this funnel functions as a place to refill rice that will be stored in the dispenser.
So that the rice would not spill easily, he used another used gallon. So the gallon had been split in the middle. Then the gallon lid was given a hole and attached upside down.

How it works, the gallon that has been split will be attached to the rice dispenser. Because the lid has been attached upside down, the lid can be easily installed on the dispenser. Then the rice can be poured directly through the open gallon cut. Then the hole in the gallon lid will make the rice go down into the dispenser.
If so, the used gallon can be removed. And reinstall the gallon cap on the rice dispenser. Well, this time, the cap is really tight and has no holes, yes. This makes the rice inside not easily contaminated by lice and insects.

To remove rice from the gallon, TikTok user @rudi69.bosantampan used a used water dispenser, PVC pipe, and a stopcock. He admitted to using a water dispenser that was broken and unused. Therefore, the inside and the engine were completely dismantled.
Well, this gallon filled with rice is turned upside down and the end is inserted into the top of the water dispenser. Then the end of this gallon appears to have been given a PVC pipe and a stopcock connection. According to TikTok user @rudi69.bosantampan, these three parts can be connected using glue.

If you want to take out the rice, just turn the tap. Don't forget to place the rice container right under the tap. When the tap is opened, the rice in the gallon will come out and be directly collected in the container. If so, turn the tap again until it is closed. That way, the rice in the dispenser will remain hygienic and free of weevils.
