    This Lodge cast iron pan has followed me through multiple moves and is at least 15 years old now and I feel like it's just now getting broken in

    Cast iron pan 10 or 12" — Lodge is really affordable and available at Target

    Just buy individual Lodge cast iron pots and pans. You're not just buying for your life but also your kids and grandkids. Cast iron will last hundreds of years

    15 years is cool and all, but itll work the same in 200 years as long as you keep it oiled
