I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

    I kinda regret buying my 3d printer. Not because it sucks, it’s more because it reminds me I don’t have any free time to do something this time consuming.

    Another one is the cast iron wok. I love my cast iron pans, but the wok is just to damn heavy and it you can’t really use it like one would use a normal lightweight wok.

      I think most traditional woks are carbon steel, seasoned similarly to a cast iron but much lighter. You could give that a try?

        Yeah I asked my family for a wok a few years ago and got this beautiful one that was cast iron and way too heavy. I ended up getting a carbon steel one which was about a third the weight

        I thought about that a few times, but my wife doesn’t want another wok that’s taking space. So would need to fine a new home for old one, which doesn’t seem to easy.

            I recently got a glazed ceramic pizza stone for $2 at my weird kitchen stuff thrift store and have been having a blast with it.

            Might be a good idea. I hope I find one in my area. Thrift stores aren’t that common here.
