To some extent I agree, but if the pan is a cheap thin one with hot spots
the food can burn and stick.

You analogy of a good cook making a good meal with cheap cookware is partly
true, but better tools certainly make the job easier. Please don't
denigrate the rest of us due to your lack of cooking ability. You won't see
a brain surgeon using a pocket knife even though it is cheaper than a
scalpel. True, I suck at brain surgery no matter what tools I try.
