itrytobei really like cooking, and while i enjoy the concept of making do with what is available to me, i also very much appreciate having the right ingredients and good tools. some of the favourite things i've bought or been given are things like a huge cutting board, an excellent knife, large pans, a rice cooker, but even small stuff like comfortable chopsticks or a simple wooden spoon. however, i don't have a large home and i'm trying not to spend too much money on kitchen equipment that i don't strictly need. but it's hard.
caidaos look so cool. i really want a caidao! but i don't need a caidao, i already have a perfectly good santoku so i have no need for another all-purpose kitchen knife. but they look so nice... and yesterday i saw caidaos in the Asian supermarket! there were €20 ones that may be cheapo knives, but also €70 CCK knives!! that brand is so famous that even i recognise it.
€70 wouldn't be that expensive for a high-quality knife, if i needed one, but since i don't need it, it is kind of a large sum. €20, on the other hand, is less than two paperbacks so not as big of a deal, but i don't know if i want to spend money like that on something i don't need and don't know if it's even good quality...
edit: i saw a 6-piece knife set in lidl for €5.99 so i guess €20 isn't quite a cheapo knife after all
