Info about the first instance of this project is posted on Instructables and is entered in the "Engineering in the Kitchen" competition, where I can hopefully win some money which I will use to fund my future projects 

Lid Holder for My Rice Cooker - Instructables 

BIG UPDATE: The project won the Judge's Prize in the contest that I entered it into and I was awarded $300! I can't believe something I designed and made myself was considered inventive enough to win a prize. I already used the money to upgrade my work area with hardware, electronic components, and PCB equipment (multimeter, helping hands, screws, heat-set inserts, wire strippers, etc.) This has only inspired me to work on more projects and share them in hopes that they catch the attention of more people : )

I recently got a new rice cooker, so I had to design new attachments to hold the lid and the spoon. They have heat set inserts for M4 screws, which allow them to be fastened to rice cooker body. A lot of measurements had to be taken, a good amount of time was spent in Fusion 360, and I went through quite a few design iterations, but the practicality made it worthwhile.
