Want to add that I have no idea how bad Teflon is for your health (seems not great to have bits of plastic into your food just going by gut feeling, but who knows) but the reason I switched away from it is because I got tired of buying a new frying pan every two years. It feels like such a monumental waste of materials just to avoid the inconvenience of having to learn how to use a normal frying pan
I dunno I think with stainless steel it’s probably better for the pan to put it through the dishwasher than going at it with a scourer. Using the dishwasher also saves water over hand-washing, somewhat counterintuitively
You don’t even need to go that far ime — if it’s just a bit damaged you can season right over the top. If it’s flakey (which is probably because you over-seasoned it in the first place) scrubbing it back with a wire scourer is enough. There are people on the internet who take it all the way back to bare metal with electrolysis, but there’s just no need imo
I do season once in a blue moon (as in, I rub in a tiny bit of sunflower oil before heating the pan) but only when necessary. And it is possible to fuck up the seasoning in my experience, but the nice thing about cast iron is that you can always fix it pretty easily. And to be honest the easiest way to fuck them up is by following one of those insane reddit seasoning routines lol. If you fry with plenty of oil at least some of the time, there shouldn’t be a problem.
For the hob/burner: Stainless steel is pretty versatile and you can put it in the dishwasher. I also have a cast iron that I use for things like eggs that need a bit of ‘non-stick’. You have to hand wash it though and take care not to damage the seasoning.
For the oven: Stainless steel or pyrex if you want something that retains heat. Some people love their enameled cast iron but that stuff is so expensive that I’ve never bothered with it.
Additional notes on cast iron care: There are a lot of guys out there for whom caring for their cast iron pans is their entire identity. They buy special oils and have their little routines for caressing their special little cast iron baby and you should pay no attention to any of them.
Maybe this means different things in different places, but ‘farmer’s market’ to me means ‘bougie weekend market where people go to buy overpriced organic veg and artisanal honey’ as opposed to a market where you’d actually do a grocery shop
God help me I clicked on this in earnest
‘the dissolution of Israel as a Jewish state’ i.e. universal suffrage
So the manager is allowed to have children and nobody else. Good system.
My first thought is that it was a needlessly exact transcription of something he said at a conference, but then… it’s attributed to the NY Times??
Cursed solution to a cursed problem 🤷
Not the most important thing, but what terrible grammar lol
Special guest star Better Call Saul is coming inside the House (banned by censors)
I can’t believe the guy who sent someone to prison for a tweet would do this smdh
This is like in the 00s when every comic book artist was obviously using 3D modeling software but none of them would admit to it. You can’t expect artists to be honest about this sort of stuff because they’d just be putting themselves at a disadvantage to the ones who lie about it. Furthermore, it doesn’t really matter, does it
Gonna stick my neck out here (in response to some of the replies I’m seeing) but there’s nothing wrong with having your air conditioning at 27°C (unless you have some very particular health condition I guess?) and if we were to do things right as a society, that would probably mean rationing resources like AC so that everyone could have access to them
Not every criticism of Israel is motivated by antisemitism, but this is the queen of England we’re talking about so I’m gonna say it was definitely motivated by antisemitism
Not only that, you could probably buy yourself a bit of a place at the new table. Some people have no imagination smdh
Yeah for sure — the learning curve is learning how easy it actually is
