LOVE my good set of knives and I will inherit some good crockery and plate one day because I am the only family member known to cook regularly. The siren call of a good pan or dish is real...
I don't have good plates because I used to have a tendency to get high, nod out and smash them. I also don't have great cutlery. It's a hodge-podge collection of mostly good old stuff I bought at jumble sales and charity shops, so it's a lot better in quality than you can buy today, but none of it matches.
I'd never really noticed this before but I'm not really interested in the stuff I use to eat from/with, yet I'm really obsessive about the stuff that I actually use for cooking. So I've got great saucepans, skillets in cast iron, stainless steel and carbon steel and I've got great knives. An espresso machine with an E61 group head and a Mazzer mini. I used to put a lot of effort into finding great cups and saucers, but like the plates, I break 'em.
But I don't own a microwave or an air fryer. I might own those things if I had a bigger kitchen, but ours is small so I have to prioritize.
