Have you ever tried cooking an omelet on a warped pan before? It's horrific. It's also what I did for years, since in my head, buying a new pan seemed frivolous. It still cooked the omelet — it just added a little more stress to the process.
That's where my husband came in. "These things do have a shelf life," he said. By "these things," he meant the old pots and pans I had carried around with me since I first got my own apartment years back. I guess I never thought about it before. Much like pillows or sheets, pots and pans are something most people don'tnaturallythink to upgrade. But when they do, their quality of life goes up tremendously. Why deal with a wobbly pan when I don't have to?
The truth of the matter is, I'm not just heating up Campbell's soup these days. As I've grown up, I've actually expanded my cooking knowledge . I'm not a pro by any means, but I'm an adult woman who's often responsible for making multiple meals at once for my family. I deserve to have the proper cookware to get me there. And possibly good stuff that's more reliable. There's never a day when I'm not cooking.
