Yeah I just kinda accept that even a really good a non stick is gonna eat it after a while but I’ve found with proper care they’ll last a long time. That means no metal cooking tools and I even avoid really hard plastics. Definitely never use the dish washer and will opt for a long soak type of clean where I don’t have to do any abrasive scrubbing. And then also just not cranking the heat ultra high. Someone else in this thread mentioned the thermal expansion thing and I really think that’s true.
