Cookware

Pans that improve with age and outlast the house.

Cast iron is the original buy-it-for-life material: a skillet handed down through generations, the seasoning improving the whole time. Stainless covers what cast iron is worst at, anything acidic and anything you would rather not re-season, and has its own page. Neither has a coating to wear through.
