Ok INGO, help me out here.
We are in the process of replacing some of our cookware. Now, My fiance hosted a Pampered Chef party not to long ago and with all the orders she got qualified her for some pretty hefty discounts for pampered chef stuff. Now I think the stuff is over hyped and WAY overpriced myself but her discounts actually bring them into what I consider the reasonable price range. The do have a lifetime warranty but I'm not sold on them as being worth the money.
Thursday was my 28th birthday and my brother knowing that we were going to replace some of our cookware, gave me a 12" Lodge cast iron skillet. He knows I want to make the switch to cast iron. I know that cast iron will last a lifetime with proper care and we can pass it on to our grand kids, are nonstick with proper seasoning and maintaining of the seasoning. But she is concerned about the weight of them. I do 90% of the cooking anyway. So her concerns are unfounded I think.
So I'm dead set on cast iron and have been wanting to make the switch for a while now. She wants the more modern ligher weight Pampered Chef stuff.
Which would you choose and why?
