Focus on longevity + daily use
Pans are one of those things you feel every single day. I’ve lived in a lot of shared houses, cooked in tiny kitchens, worked from home, and over the last 10 years I have cooked a LOT. Baking, batch meals, post-gym hunger chaos, big groups ect… These are pans I trust with real daily abuse.
