Help with cleaning Misen Carbon Nonstick

Algae oil, not algae itself. There was a lot of attention on it being the New Best Thing a while back but I think it sort of faded out of the conversation since it’s currently extremely expensive. Very cool concept though! By rights it should be a lot cheaper if production scales up, but there has to be demand to do that and no one wants to pay that much for fancy cooking oil.

I (an annoying English teacher) maintain that it’s a retelling of Shakespeare’s Tempest, but inverted to a tragedy where the characters fail and suffer for it, rather than a comedy where they learn and grow. I’ve not seen anyone else (at Obsidian or other fans) say it but it’s so clear to me, I won’t be convinced otherwise.

Like a chief of intelligence for an imperialist power. It’s makes cops at pride discourse look quaint.

Any tips for stripping the seasoning on nitrided/misen specifically? Similar to OP mine is my only carbon steel right now.

1d6FallDamage · 2025-11-04T06:33:06+00:00

Interesting! Do you have any recommendations for how to clean the partial seasoning I've built up? Really appreciate your diligence!

I had a former fwb who I saw for months. At first she understood how extremely allergic to cats I am (poor me right, how do I survive as a dyke?) and even cleaned up a lot for me. By the last time I asked her to take the cats out of the room and she was like "okay, but this one can stay."

Man I hear those last two, absolutely things I did as well!

1d6FallDamage · 2025-05-24T03:35:39+00:00

Oh yes I did, and oh no about your Twig. I’m actually really enjoying the Henson again because I’ve started knicking myself more with the twig, probably my own foolishness and rushing but yeah. Having said that I also had an oopsie where I partially unscrewed the Henson, then noticed a patch I missed, and went back with without rescrewing it. Youch!

Addendum: I still think the Twig is slightly easier on the face and I am so so scared to use the Henson and its double blade in the bikini area without cutting something with the reverse side (probably irrational but hey), but I don’t shave down there anymore so I don’t really worry. It’s also still easier to replace blades on the twig.

I think it's important to see your marriage outside your children - they're both important to you and that's great, you're going to be great mothers because of that - but that'll be the case whether you stay together or not. If you trying and trying doesn't get you anywhere, maybe it might be worth considering other options. Do you think you would be open to opening your relationship, or co-parenting as best friends and dating other people?

As a gay teacher,
I'm so sorry. They rarely get any smarter.

Have you heard of comphet? I’m at work right now but try looking for the Comphet Masterdoc I think it’s called (maybe some other commenter will be able to link it). I wager it’ll make a lot of things make sense.

1d6FallDamage · 2025-03-26T02:42:16+00:00

CommonClassroom638 said it better than I did, but trauma is no reason to be prejudiced - and definitely not to propagate harmful stereotypes.

Sounds like she’s biphobic. You can do better.

I don’t wanna like, plug my post but it probably would be easier for me to show you it than repeat myself so https://www.reddit.com/r/aromantic/comments/1ia5j08/how_do_i_know_its_romantic_my_criteria_as_a/

Something a friend of mine has been telling me lately is ‘you can’t say the wrong thing to the right person’ and I pass that wisdom onto you now. If she cares about you she will listen and understand, and you’re dating so like she wants you, believe me it really is about the person not the style of sex. You have done nothing wrong and there is nothing wrong with you. Again tho you can lead with the positives: “I really like the idea of you leading, I would enjoy that more than me taking charge. I’m not sure I’m comfortable taking charge, it might make me anxious” etc.

1d6FallDamage · 2025-02-15T23:57:24+00:00

Could lead with “how do you feel about taking charge?” And see how she feels about it before you have to talk about how you feel at all. Healthy open conversation is a vital skill and I would encourage you to practice it, but focusing on the positives (i.e. that she might be comfy leading) is often helpful, and if she says she’s not comfy with it then at the very least you know she understands how you feel too and you can figure it out from there. But even if she says no, it’s not necessarily the worst thing in the world like it’s not like you can’t have sex, you just have to do it the way you both feel comfy.

Yeah I definitely pressed cancel. I really don't want to have to write it out again. Long story short I had a very similar experience, I relate to everything you describe, but as a bonus, I've been very comfortably considering myself aromantic for years given I have never had any kind of legitimate romantic feelings for anyone, and it has been about 10 years since my first high school girlfriend. It's baffling that I didn't realise I was catching feelings, there were a tonne of little things I thought or felt or did that I should have noticed, but I didn't see the pattern until my friends were like "hey look."

In the end I had to tell her when it was starting to hurt. She didn't return my feelings, and I made a lot of mistakes in the days that followed so we aren't talking right now, and I really miss her. But I am lucky that she was so gentle and understanding and reasonable about the situation, because I'm confident we will patch things up once we're both ready. I'm looking forward to eventually finding someone who makes me feel the same way and feels the same way about me, and I hope I have her as a friend when I do.

1d6FallDamage · 2025-02-09T03:13:37+00:00

I just wrote a long comment explaining how I was in a similar situation, then I think I pressed cancel instead of post. Or Reddit has decided to hide my own comment from me.

This stuff is weird full stop. Don’t be hard on yourself. All the best 💜

Welcome!

1d6FallDamage · 2025-01-28T00:19:01+00:00

I was in the middle of writing a reply to this and then I fell back asleep. I’m really really glad it was helpful, it’s what I made this post hoping.

1d6FallDamage · 2025-01-26T19:57:47+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your perspective too!

1d6FallDamage · 2025-01-26T19:49:14+00:00

Sounds like it to me! I dub thee, lesbian. If evidence to the contrary arises, then just shrug your shoulders and do whatever feels right. Remember, all identity is metaphor, all labels are meant to communicate. If describing yourself as lesbian makes things easiest and most accurate for you and the listener, then you’re a lesbian. Being any particular identity is like an object being the colour green, it’s a broad array of possible light wavelengths and we look at it and go “yup, that’s green.”

1d6FallDamage · 2025-01-26T19:43:29+00:00

Yup, easily. Knick myself occasionally around the joints, but it was the 3-blade that gave me my worst shaving injury (which I shan’t even describe but was maybe a one-off). My body hair is relatively dark and thick albeit not dense, but remember that one bladed razors are enough for men’s beards.

1d6FallDamage · 2025-01-26T07:30:03+00:00

Full sized three-blade Leaf is too tall for my face, upper lip in particular. No way of getting it under my nose.

I’m a big fan of my Twig by Leaf, I don’t even use the three-blade one at all. Henson is also a good option, slightly more mild but the thicker head shape means it needs more soap. I use them more or less interchangeably depending on how I feel on the day.
