One of the most valuable lessons I learned after moving away from home was the importance of having a nonstick pan in the kitchen. Did I get one right away? Absolutely not. I was 19 and had no idea what I was doing.

By my mid-twenties, I had finally learned my lesson—I couldn't keep up my habit of eating out all week. So, the nonstick pan entered my life in a big way, and honestly, it's still a staple.
