Reply to What’s a great leather wallet and pen? by jacobiscool09

I have quite a few Cross pens. Some I got from my grandpa that he had for 30+ years and I can still get refills no problem. I’ve also had a Louis Vuitton bifold wallet that I’ve carried 15+ years and it’s just now showing a bit of wear but nothing that affects the look or function.

Reply to comment by OutlanderMom in Just bought an All-Clad D5 Stainless Steel frying pan for the first time. Just cooked eggs in it and they slid right out. Wish us luck! by femifist26

I have the D5’s, and you should know that they are quite heavy, but not as heavy as cast iron. I’ve seen many comments that the D3 are much lighter, if that’s helpful.

I’ve only had sticking issues when I first started cooking with them, until I got a feel for my temps, as I was using cast iron exclusively before trying stainless steel. I much prefer the AllClad now, and only use the stovetop cast iron to sear beef.

Unpopular opinion coming.

Cast iron.

And it didn't wear down.

It wore 'me' down.

And I look it as either I failed it. Or it failed me.

I really got tired of dealing with it. Seasoning it. Tossing it in the oven. Or just seasoning in general. Done with it. it's also heavy. And bulky. just find an Allclad is just easier haha. I haven't used my Cast iron pan in 3 years. The Allclad D12 is what I use everyday.

For like 99% of what I used the Cast iron pan, I much prefer the Allclad. Lighter. Easier to clean. Easier. Quicker.

In essence, you can say the Cast iron pan got replaced. I would have no qualms donating it honestly.
