Do we expect the lifespan of Chinese iron to be less than American iron?

Maybe youcanbiyitforlife can also lean more towards stuf that's more affordable. Just because a $600 blanket is available to be purchased doesn't mean that I can buy it.

Because that whole sub would either be mass produced items that most people already own (like the Martha Stewart pan).

The reason I bought my Lodge pan is because I appreciate the hard working Americans that put their time and effort to develop a good product.

I don't want to send my money to the CCP

I’m sorry are we really arguing over whether a Martha Stewart CI pan is an example of high quality and BIFL? Come on. I’m just saying, that’s a pretty inauspicious start for the sub.

I think acknowledging that most cast iron is BIFL, and that branding maybe doesn't matter very much, sets a good tone for the sub. What if someone really likes the styling of that specific pan? I'm not going to pretend it is going to break just because the name behind the pan is Martha Stewart lol

Fair. But you said it’s for high quality items.

Believe it or not a high quality item can occasionally be made in china. I’ve got years of experience with this pan and it’s done just as well as my four lodge pans.

I’m not denying that high quality products can be made in China. I’m saying anyone who knows cookware will tell you that is not one of those items.
