(!buyitforlife)

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?

We use Fika pans at home and I believe they are ceramic. Will that wear off too? We've been using them for almost a year now and they have been great. It's a low bar though because prior to that we've always used cheap non-stick pans. lol

With ceramic coatings, it's not so much that they wear off, it's that repeated thermal expansion can cause extremely small fractures in the ceramic. These fractures create a surface that food or oil in the process of polymerization will stick to. Making sure you don't crank the heat too high is one way to keep your ceramic coating intact for longer.

Good to know, thanks! We're always conscious of the heat levels and make sure not to crank it up too high or keep it that way for prolonged periods.

They'll last you 5 - 8 years with care. Eventually they'll start sticking.
