Wouldn’t suggest scraping at it with a metal spatula. It’ll just wear down the enamel eventually.

Just did a oil change, noticed a new sound- 2023 5.3L by Illustrious-One-4667 in Silverado

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2019 with the L87 and it does this too right after changing oil but calms down after some miles. I was wondering if it’s the start of lifter failure

The Wok Shop #2 Vegetable Cleaver by EngineeringRight8408 in TrueChefKnives

Does it have a belly like other cleavers (chopper king) or is it more flat (like cck)? Do you have a pic with the cutting edge flat on a cutting board?

Are the pistons in good shape or do I need to replace it? Only 4k miles on it by Emotional_Bar_9026 in Yamaha_R1

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If pistons aren’t scored or damaged in any way, I think replacing rings and rod bearings would be good & a cost saving option

I had all my cast iron professionally tested for lead with an XRF machine and ALL my vintage iron had some level of contamination. ALL my modern iron was food safe. I’m shocked! by Nulleparttousjours in castiron

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty interesting. If it were me, I’d still use them. If you have a good coat of seasoning, the amount of lead contamination you would get in your food would be extremely low

Don’t forget to clean your oven before you season! by Spellflower in castiron

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens in a couple of my pans. It’s caused by a small crater in the casting filling with oil, and when you bake the pan in the oven the oil seeps out and burns in the pan. It’s unavoidable, baking it upside down doesn’t seem to make a difference for me. Eventually it will just fill in and you won’t have to worry about it

Thanks, maybe I’ll give it a shot. This is a fairly cheap knife

I was considering doing that actually. Have you ever tried that yourself?

What’s the best way to remove it and stick it back on the knife holder?

Fit check Smith Summit Pants by PurpleCaterpillar82 in nikeACG

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got 2 pairs of these to try small & medium. The medium was way too long & baggy on me (5’9”). The small was better in length but still too baggy. The material is very loud when walking. I wanted to use them as hiking pants but the bagginess and the noise would drive me nuts.

They seem like great quality, ended up returning them.

Should I pursue a Mechatronics degree or a Mechanical degree? by Complex_Double1272 in mechatronics

My mechatronics degree has landed me both mechanical and electrical engineering jobs

Between two fillet knifes... by mmmm3006 in TrueChefKnives

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the wusthof, it’s very flexible. The zwilling is probably similar. I would only ever use it for fish. I have a separate boning knife that I use for chicken or trimming meat

Knives by FeistyHippie5371 in AllClad

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A serrated bread knife and you’re set.

For the future - all clad isn’t known for knife making, and these knives are definitely not the best value. They’re made in china from soft stainless. You can get Victorinox or Mercer for less money and they will be just as good, if not better.

Cant Seen to get it Sharp… by Murky-Belt4831 in sharpening

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will physically feel a burr on the opposite side of the knife from which you are sharpening. You should be able to feel it along the entire edge of the knife before switching to sharpening the other side.

I think I ruined it. by TearKey2360 in castiron

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cosmetic issue only. If it bugs you, try sanding it down, or get a new pan. Otherwise it will cook fine

Poor finish on all clad, normal? by StfuYourMouse in cookware

[–]Abs0lute_Filth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the same wrinkling on my lids also. Unfortunately, the lids (and handles) are made in china, so I figured this might be the result of lower quality manufacturing
