What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Stainless — Highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and staining. Non-reactive with food. Professional kitchens rely on stainless for a reason — it lasts a lifetime.
·Glass — Non-porous and non-reactive. Borosilicate glass (Pyrex-style) resists thermal shock. Tempered glass is 4-5x stronger than regular glass.
·Key stress points have been strengthened with additional material, stitching, or rivets. Look for reinforced seams, corners, and attachment points — these are where cheaper products fail first.
·Made by Snow Peak in Japan.

·Stainless — Dishwasher safe. Preheat before cooking to prevent sticking. Use Bar Keeper's Friend to restore shine.
·Glass — Dishwasher safe. Handle with care — glass does not flex on impact.
·⚠ Modern "pyrex" (lowercase) uses soda-lime glass, which is less thermal-shock resistant than vintage PYREX (uppercase) borosilicate. Don't take modern pyrex from freezer to oven.

Sustainability

·Snow Peak is recognized for sustainable practices across their product line.

Cost Per Use

·Stainless — A $150 stainless pan used daily for 20 years costs about $0.02 per use. Non-stick alternatives need replacing every 2-3 years.
·Glass — Glass food storage and cookware lasts indefinitely. No staining, no flavor absorption, no chemical leaching.
·Snow Peak is known for products that hold up over years of use — which typically means a lower cost per use than cheaper alternatives that need replacing.
·Priced around $275 (midpoint of $150–$400 for Recreation). At ~6 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 3.8 years — and falls to roughly 76¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
