Stainless steel cookware

Pans with no nonstick coating to break down

Stainless, cast iron and titanium-clad pans, used by people who would rather not cook on a coating that degrades with heat and scratches. The trade is that food sticks unless you preheat properly and use enough fat. They also last decades, which is not true of nonstick.
