THE ERA OF TRUMP

[C-Mag]

Yeah, its only superior for folks that enjoy the process of cooking and that sort of thing.

I love to cook - I cook dinner almost every night. I just find the cons outweigh the pros on this cookware.

Cast Iron is actually pretty easy to deal with, Cowboy Kent has ya covered.

Weird. We rarely reseason ours. Might have to do it more often.

Our Secretary of Energy, ladies and gentlemen, on why fossil fuels are good.

“From the standpoint of sexual assault. When the lights are on, when you have light that shines, the righteousness, if you will, on those types of acts… fossil fuels is going to play a role in that. I think it’s going to play a positive role.”

Besides being the most insane pro-fossil fuel argument I've ever seen, it's also apparently, not true:

Conclusions This study found little evidence of harmful effects of switch off, part-night lighting, dimming, or changes to white light/LEDs on road collisions or crime in England and Wales.

Street lights don't matter folks.

Do you ever feel ashamed for being such a shill?

Now you're arguing against the efficacy of street lights because Ricky says they're good.

cast iron is a PITA and the learning curve is steep. I simply don't care enough to figure it out. What's the point of getting one now if they take generations to get seasoned properly?

Fake news.

Buy a lodge, and spend five minutes reading how to care for it.

Here's the crash course. You put oil on it.

Not necessary. Just wash by hand, oil it every few months, always keep it dry. It’s much easier to clean than any coated pan. You can use steel wool, paint scraper, whatever.

The main benefits are durability, evenly-heated cooking, easy cleaning, and durability. Ask yourself how many flimsy pans you’ve bought.

Using metal will wear the coating faster. It's way easier to clean when it's hot. Keep it oiled and clean it when it's hot.

The experts advise that after every cleaning and fully drying, to put the pan back on the stove, get the heat high and re-season it with oil before putting it away. Once I'm done cooking and cleaning, I don't want to spend any more time at the stove. Too time consuming.

Also, you can't soak it, say the experts.

It's not that complicated. I was very meticulous with my first few pans, but I'm way more lax these days. I've got a couple dozen pieces now. Hit em with hot water when they're hot, get the food off, dry em off, and once in a blue moon apply some oil.

You aren't using soap on them, are you? Tell me you're not using soap.

[Okeefenokee]

Soap ruins the pan, TC. Cast iron fucking sucks. With enamel its nice, though.

Soap when it's needed isn't a death sentence. Sometimes I leave food in them and have to use a little soap. Once every now and then is fine. It won't ruin them. Just don't make it a regular thing.

People who only cook in cast iron and have no problems laugh at these horror stories.

[Speaker to Animals]

You know what I do? I put my stainless steel pan in the dishwasher, toss in a packet of detergent, close the door, press start, and then walk away..

[TheReal_ND]

Cooks fine.

[Speaker to Animals]

I have a dutch oven that is made from cast iron with an enamel surface. I love that thing. But for most cooking, I use my stainless steel pieces.
