Cast iron skillets.

If you season and clean them the right way they will outlive you.

I'm using the same one that my parents owned for 30 years and hope I will get another 30 years of usage out of it.

Unless you put them in the dishwasher

If someone puts my cast iron in the dishwasher the cast iron will still outlive them

Thats the beauty of cast iron though. Even putting it through the dishwasher doesnt ruin the pan permanently. You just have to re-season it.

As long as you don’t use a heated dry it’s pretty much fine tbh. If any rusts you just wipe it down or sand it and re season
