Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of? (lemmy.world)

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.

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.

Could you maybe share a link?

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.
