  This.
  But it’s bad for capitalism bcs it’s a good product that can last you a lifetime & private capital can’t profit from you beyond that one purchase.

    It also kills my retail therapy that keeps my depression in check.

    I’m only half joking there. I don’t want disposable things to fill the hole. I have a stainless steel pan, a carbon steel pan, cast iron, and enamel cast iron. I’ll never need another pan in my life. Whoever gets it after they die likely won’t either. One of my cast iron pans is over 100 years old and works great. Looks almost like new.

    But I do want something to fill the hole some days. I just keep buying old world craftsmanship so I never have to replace shit so I never get my retail therapy.

      I suggest drugs. You get your hole filled spending the money, then again using the drugs. You get double the hole penetration

        The thrill with illegal drugs is the chase. Actually getting them. The money is nothing.

      Just buy things worth supporting, something that isn’t killing people or nature that much.

  Got a brand?

    The beauty is you can just go and get one (which may have no brand name whatsoever) for $20 at a restaurant supply store.

    If you want one that'll look nice in your kitchen, you could try one from De Buyer.

      I have 2 De Buyers myself and they really are so much better than teflons. The instructions that came with it literally said: “The pan is usable unless it has a hole on it”. The cheaper ones tend to be much thinner so they won’t retain heat as well and can bend under heat and stress. Those De Buyers will go from generation to another.

    Misen is the gold standard, but unless you are rich or a pro chef, the Merten and Storck pan is just as good.
