Don’t buy hexclad if you use any cooking tool made out of metal. The pan itself will chip and will stick. There’s a reason you never see their products in restaurants.
I had them and eventually shifted everything to carbon steel or cast iron.
DeBuyer is good and reasonably priced. Properly seasoned, they will outlast your lifetime.

I'm surprised you don't have a private chef.

It's one of the luxuries that I think everyone should have once you can afford it. It elevates your living quality by an order of magnitude.
No more arguing who does this or that and no more wife bitching that you never help on things at home.
That's why I can't wait for Tesla bots. It's a day 1 order for sure. Quote:

Plus, I truly enjoy cooking and go great length to do them on things like BBQ or Molecular gastronomy. Centrifuge is something one must have if you can find them for cheap. I got mine from a bar bankruptcy sale. The sauce and/or cocktail you can make with that thing is out of this world. Best 1k equipment for kitchen if you are into sauce and/or cocktail. I got mine for 500 and would buy at full retail if it ever breaks.

Their steak knife and fork is what Argentineans use for having BBQ. And Argentinean are the most serious BBQ ppl you can find, bar none.

I don't know jackshit about it, but two jobs again we had a bunch of Argentinians and Brazilians on the team and while it was friendly, there's always some kind of bickering and one-upman-ship going on between the two groups.

You should pretty much never use a metal tool in a pan while cooking anyways, regardless the pan, there really isn't any reason for that.
At most, metal tongs in a cast iron are fine, but really most cooking tools should be wood/rubber/plastic anyways.

Not sure how many restaurant kitchens you’re in but I cooked 25# of lingcod in one yesterday and it didn’t break for about the 25th time, although I wasn’t using a hammer to flip the fish so that probably helped.
FWIW at home I only use a lodge skillet for everything. Nothing sticks to pans if you’re doing it properly, but the hexclad stuff is fantastic if you aren’t doing things properly, which is perfect for the average household.

We use a knock off HexClad. I don't know if it's good or bad or if it will give me cancer (probably yes.) It works well and no issues. And no, we don't use metal utensils on it.

Are we just learning that you can't use metal on coated (whether silica-ceramic or teflon) "non-stick" pans? People actually believed the hexclad marketing BS?
I love cast Iron.
I've got 2x 6", 1x10" and 1x12" skillets and 2x 10" griddles.
I have one 8" lagostina silica-ceramic non-stick that I only use for scrambled eggs.

As long as the metal of the tool is softer than the pan, it should be fine. No tool you use will be harder than a carbon steel wok
Iron, definitely take care with that

I don't remember where we found it but I think it was some Asian housewares store in Markham. (Sorry, that doesn't help you.) I've seen knock-offs at T&T but your mileage may vary.

Brazilians generally don't eat the whole cow/pig/goat/lamb but just certain parts (mostly meat). Some region do cook intestines/organs (achura) but it's not a reflection of the general Brazilian BBQ culture. Blood for example is big nono.
Argentina, otoh, eat pretty much the entire thing on their BBQ. Heck, the true traditional way of doing a whole cow BBQ goes with the skin/hair on. You take them out at the end, but like nothing is really off limit when it comes to eating animals. And EVERY organ/intestines are cuts that you can find them at BBQ restos/butcher shop and not a particular regional cuisine to find them. Blood for example, find their way into making morcilla (blood pudding kinda sausage) and it's available in every BBQ spot in the country, no exceptions.
And it shows. Argentina consumes 49kg (no1 in the world) of beef per capita per year. Brazil is a distant second coming in at 39.
