Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

      If you ever go to India, take an extra suitcase that you can fill up with Stainless Steel cookware. The price is amazing, and the quality is so much better than what’s available in America. We spent about $85 on what I estimate would have cost $400-$500 in America.

        Oh, I don’t really recommend copper as someone that cooks.

        Like, you can accidentally poison yourself or possibly give yourself early dementia. They are a pain to clean unless you are willing to buff them constantly to keep the shine… Do yourself a favor and get like a couple decorative pieces if you really want copper but cook with steel/iron

          I think you’re just supposed to avoid heavy acids with them. And it’s one of those ‘lifetime risk’ dealies.

          I have a cast iron pan, but it is more about the refurbishing proces. I want to try relining it with tin.

          From my understanding about them it is generally safe when you have intact lining.
