I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

    Pretty much all kitchenware is worth getting the good stuff if you can afford it, even if cheap versions will work.

    Probably safety-related items.

      I feel like there are too many exceptions to this rule. Maybe dont get the cheapest but you dont need to spend a lot to have a very good:

      • Cast iron pan
      • Carbon steel pan
      • Enameled cast iron pot (seriously, look it up, I see people saying how much they love their Le Creuset all the time but I got one from KitchenAid of all brands at 50 euros in my local supermarket)
      • Baking tray
      • Cooling rack
      • Baking bowls
      • Spatula of any kind
      • Peeler
      • Electric mixer
      • Kitchen scale

      I could go on but I believe Ive made my point.

      One exception is one particular chef knife. Most cheap knives you get what you pay for. But there is one, the Victorinox Classic Chef Knife, that is around $30 but is competitive in comfort and sharpness with very expensive knives.

      Edit: I was incorrect on the model, it’s the Fibrox Pro 8" Chef’s Knife.
