Reply to comment by scipper77 in BIFL suggestions for cookware? I already have a cast iron skillet. by TrialByFireAnts

  • AllClad D3 pots and pans (D5 or copper are overkill IMO, but you won’t go wrong)
    • A container of BarKeeper’s Friend
  • Zwilling Madura non-stick skillet (not quite BIFL, but they last better than any other non-stick I’ve found)
  • Staub or Le Creuset enameled Dutch oven
  • Wustof knives
    • A 1000 and 4000 grit reversible water stone
  • KitchenAid mixer
  • Vitamix blender

This is the real pro tip; this stuff will get the pans looking as good as the day you got them (arguably better if you acquired them second hand). And as far as I can tell, the product itself isn't particularly harmful to metal so you can clean them on a fairly regular basis without wearing them down.

Seeing Zwilling as a German brand there, I’d add Fissler… bit more pricey but they are working forever. https://www.fissler.com/us/

I'm not familiar with Fissler, but based on the link their non-stick isn't much more expensive than the Zwilling Madura Plus line.
