Reply to Can anyone suggest a durable non stick cook set? Preferably one which doesn't break the bank by revnhoj
Nonstick coatings scratch and peel over time, so they're inherently not bifl. Cast iron or carbon steel can be seasoned to create a natural polymer coating that resists sticking and can be reapplied as needed. They are susceptible to rust though, and you can't cook high-acidity foods because it will dissolve the seasoning. So your best bifl bet is a good set of stainless like allclad, and just get used to cooking with them. If anything does stick, you can deglaze the pans, and in dire situations, they're basically indestructible, so go to town with whatever scrapers and scouring pads you need while you're learning. After getting the hang of them, they cook much better than nonstick anyway because you can't develop a fond on nonstick.

What if you have grip problems and can't lift or handle cast iron without injuring yourself? Yeah it's amazing stuff, but it's also heavy af.

It's completely clean. That's what pitted cast aluminum looks like, fyi.

I’ve had my Tumi wallet for 10 years and it still looks new.

It would be perfect if you could adjust the hood for non hard hatted heads.

Go to a thrift shop and buy some cast iron. Scrub the shit out of it and YouTube how to season it properly. It’ll last 400 years.

I am sorry for the failure of your tool, but I think this item in your family is worth fixing.

I have that exact coat in grey. I bought it in maybe 2016 off the clearance rack at tractor supply for $40. One of the best coats I've ever owned for durability. I have sheep cows and pigs and wear it all the time. It gets abused and holds up to the abuse.

I've never had a bad experience with e-readers they are consistently long lasting and because features don't update so quick, stay relevant for much longer!

My parents still use this or a similar model. I can still smell the scent of the warming plastic... but man, it did its job!

Look at Patagonia workwear. Expensive but I’ve been very happy with my pants and coat.
