So the idea of “buy it for life” is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment
What are some of the top items you recommend for this?
Carbon steel pans. You season and treat them like cast iron, but they develop a beautiful, smooth, non stick surface. I just made two over easy eggs in mine. They’re basically all I use anymore - no PFOx, no muss.
I thought I bought two from a French company that started with an ‘M’ but I can’t figure out which brand 😂
Matfer Bourgeat? I love my Darto plans and have also heard fantastic things about DeBuyer.
Yes! That’s it - Matfer. I think America’s Test Kitchen recommend them and I’d follow ATK off a cliff on kitchen advice. So far, the pans have been fantastic, but I can’t imagine there’s a whole lot to go wrong with a carbon steel pan.
Are they induction compatible? I’d love to get something like that that’s induction compatible.
Sure are! They’re all steel.
Nice, I heard they need to be magnetic and the easy test is to use a magnet (naturally). I know my stainless isn’t magnetic so I haven’t tried to use that. I’ll look into these, thanks!
I have a carbon steel wok that I love.
