So the idea of “buy it for life” is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment
What are some of the top items you recommend for this?
I tried to buy a BifL non-stick pan and found that it doesn’t exist. Everything marketed as non-stick has some coating that will wear off and become useless. “But what about {brand that says it’s not PTFE, PFOA, or PFAS}?” Yep them too. Look up sol-gel non-stick coating if you have ceramic non-stick. If you don’t want to have to buy pans over and over again, you have to go stainless, cast iron or carbon steel. Cast iron enamelware is pretty good too, but isn’t really non-stick. I’m in the process of finding stainless/cast-iron replacements for all my non-stick pans.
