So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

I heard that the bumps were there to help the seasoning stick. Actually, looking it up and the point seems moot - with people disagreeing as a matter of preference. So there is a bit of nuance there.

I actually have a Lodge that has gone smooth just from the daily use of repeated oiling and scraping and of course carbon buildup.

I had a lodge that I didn't do anything but cook on, didn't have any issues. The ex got that one. Had an old crappy one that I couldn't get to non stick the way my lodge did, then I sanded and seasoned it well before next use. By far my favorite pan years later.

It's kinda funny just how strong folks' opinions are on this.

I've also done rock salt scrub + reseason in oven, and that's completely turned around whiny pans.

There seem to be a thousand ways to get the pans to behave like we want, but the most important being continual use.
