Notes -
I went down this rabbit hole previously. It's probably not a huge concern. However, I went carbon steel a few years ago back, and I find them far superior for taste and durability. Previously I bought the best teflon pans I could find, but they only lasted a couple of years at best before they began to fall apart (I cook a lot). The carbon steel pans had a small learning curve with regard to seasoning, cooking, and maintenance, but now its habit. The seasoning no longer requires any special care. I have a few De Buyer mineral b pro's with factory seasoning, and added more season at home. I cook the vast majority of my stuff in the 32cm fry pan. It'll live for decades if not centuries. Most people find it comically heavy, but it doesn't bother me.
