i got a stainless steel frying pan from made in a couple years ago, and it is holding up very well so far. i suspect it’s going to last decades, maybe even a lifetime (it comes with a lifetime warranty for whatever that’s worth).

despite many early cooking attempts that ended with a burnt pan, it still looks nearly as good as it did on day one.

all that’s needed is a little baking soda and vinegar and all food burns/discoloration disappears.
