Let’s say excluding major appliances (stove/refrigerators, etc...) and renovations. I bet there are some of you out there with just ridiculous numbers. Might be an amusing conversation. This is inspired by a post by @Michi in another thread.
I’ll start, with some general estimates.
Expensive(ish) stuff — Mixer, SV machine, Thermapen, Breville Toaster Oven, Vitamix, Coffee Machine, Coffee grinder: around $1400
Pots and pans — 3 cast iron, 1 carbon, 5 stainless, 3 nonstick, 1 dutch oven, $500, say
Knives — Catcheside nakiri, Mizuno KS, Uraku stainless gyuto, Uraku 150 petty in W#2, Mazaki 180 petty, Shun paring, crap paring, Tojiro $15 bread knife: around $1400
Stones — King 300, 800, Gesshin stone set, Chosera 800, Gesshin 3000 s&g, small aizu: around $500
Cutting boards — one endgrain, couple edge grain, hi soft and one plastic: $250
Cooking and table utensils — maybe $150 total?
Assorted cheap stuff — waffle maker, food processor, mini food processor or spice chopper or whatever, pizza stone and peels: $200ish?
All the stuff I’m forgetting: $200?
Total: around $4500?
Anyway, that was a fun exercise. Maybe I just wanted to know my own numbers rather than all yours. If you want to figure out your own numbers too, feel free to use this thread for motivation!
