There's no free lunch with cookware.
On balance, I really like Misen's nitrogen cooked carbon steel clad (w/ aluminum core) pans.
✅ light enough for wife to use daily.
✅ no coatings, yet fully nonstick.
✅ decent heat distribution, retention.
✅ less iron leaching than cast iron.
✅ less iron leaching than carbon steel.
✅ works on all heating elements.
✅ easy to clean.
The big tradeoffs with a pan like this is (A) it must be towel dried after to prevent rust and (B) it leaches elemental iron (100s to 1000s of mcg) into each meal.
Women's menstrual cycles are effective at eliminating elemental iron, but with men it can build up in the body and cause metabolic dysfunction.
To manage that, (1) consume milk🥛 alongside food cooked in this pan, which will reduce iron absorption, and (2) track iron labs and donate blood as needed.
This is my goto breakfast pan. Excels at fried eggs, scrambled eggs, and omelettes. Gentle heat without losing nonstick vibes is very doable.
Should last for decades.
