Anything cooking related. It all the same shit you already had but this time it's plastic, harder to clean and only does 1 specific thing.
Can you give a few examples of older stuff worth getting? Iโm looking to update my kitchen soon :)
Old mandolin slicers. The plastic on one's produced recently cracks in a year for the cheap ones, or five years for the expensive ones. My grandmother had one that was solid metal. I'm sure it's serving my cousin as well today as it served my grandmother 50+ years ago.
Nah because my kitchen is full of plastic junk ๐
I'd suggest a stand mixer, but even those have gone down hill, even brands like kitchenaid have gotten worse.
Maybe some old pyrex, if you can find some. The new stuff is bad, can't recommend that.
