At least one Stainless pan, long life. Then if you need specific use, copper (best heat) but don't use acid food, cast iron with good care can last long.

A la braise!

We have Allclad stainless steel. Heat it right and is basically nonstick. Cleans easily.

You might need more than one type, it's better to ask your wife exactly what she needs. Eg: the saucepan from stainless steel, cast iron for heavy-duty duty (Le Creuset is the best in my opinion), and so on. So ask Missus how you can make it right. 🥂

Ceramic coated ones are good, I don’t mind the stainless ones or the cast iron pans, both are great Or if you want, you can get a cast iron pan and poilish it to a mirror finish, you’ll have a two in one 😁

Pro move (wife peace speedrun): Get 1 good stainless steel pan, 1 cast iron, and 1 nonstick for eggs-only. You’ll cook better, argue less, and nobody cries over scrambled eggs 💜⚡️

Damn you live dangerously!😂 The best pans #worththesats are the ones your wife picks out when you take her pan shopping.
