It depends on what you're optimizing for.
When I was in college, I'd boil some water, make some pasta, and sear some chicken for every meal. Estimated pan cost: $10 (maybe free, actually, as I got it from a departing senior).
Nowadays, I like to eat out a lot, with food costs at least $25/meal (SF Bay is ridiculous). I get healthier meals if I cook at home but I also want my food to be delicious. Approximating subjectively: I think I get 90-200% of restaurant deliciousness depending on recipe and restaurant, 25-50% of restaurant sodium intake, and 50% cost with this device, which is a fixed cost. Given this, it'll pay for itself in less than two weeks.
- JonLim 12y agoI guess the difference is that I enjoy eating out, but I much prefer cooking at home. Even with my $10 frying pan, I can cook some delicious things, but I assume the target market is for people who haven't been cooking as much as I do. From the viewpoint that this pan makes cooking a little more accessible to new cooks, I think it's fantastic. I was just trying to find value for someone like myself, who might be a little more experienced and have a few dishes, we can make without recipes, under our belts. :)
