reaching a certain age. But theirs was an intentional business strategy.<\/p>\nApple just got busted for making their phones slow down and drag after they reach a certain age — trust me, I know what it’s like to slow down and drag after reaching a certain age. But theirs was an intentional business strategy.<\/p>\n
They did it because it’s great for sales (until people find out, that is). After all, what if you made a product that you could use for a ton of things, was super useful, and just never went bad? Ever.<\/p>\n
You’d sell one to a person, and be done. Forever. That’s a terrible business model. Hence, their strategy.<\/p>\n
[cue segue to iron skillets]<\/p>\n
From a business perspective, this would be exactly the opposite of the iron skillet.\u00a0I seriously use mine every day: to sautee, fry things hotter, or stick it in oven with a lid or without!<\/p>\n
It works for everything. And now I’ve had it so long that it’s super slick and works just as well as the non-stick versions, although my immune system does miss the Teflon endocrine challenge.<\/p>\n
Iron skillets are amazing because A) they never go bad, B) you actually get iron from cooking with them, and C) they can be used in almost any capacity!<\/p>\n
No going bad. No planned obsolescence. And they get better every year you use them — not worse. I don’t know, maybe I need to put on a turtleneck, some tennis shoes, and get up in front of an auditorium and say, “You’ll not looking people! It’s a pan. It’s a pan that lasts forever. It’s an Infinity Pan!!”<\/p>\n
I think we may be on to something.<\/p>\n
