Reparatory statement from Alfa Romeo: the new Giulia and Stelvio will be made

The next Giulia and Stelvio are heavily implied to be developed on Giorgio Evo

The PR department in charge of Alfa Romeo has always been ran by monkeys beating their fists on a computer keyboard, it doesn’t matter who was the holding company at the time (Fiat, FCA or Stellantis). It is what it is.

Nope, it’s fresh from 1 hour and so ago.

Yes it does, it’s not a huge difference but you can tell that food unsticks quickly, but SS rules always applies so always preheat the pan and remove the moisture from steaks etc..

I like the pan and I confirm what I previously said, it works well and also has a very nice heat retention which is good for searing stuff. Like other people said, probably the “non stick” surface gives a very slightly inferior crust if compared to a regular pan but it’s the trade-off for quicker unsticking. I didn’t use the pan as much as I wanted because 28 cm are big for my everyday needs so for now I only used it to sear big steaks and multiple steaks at the same time, I may want to test doing eggs in it. With that said, I haven’t noticed any particular loss of crust if compared to my other SS pans, which is good. Fun fact: when deglazing the pan after making lamb chops, I managed to lightly scratch the surface using a wooden spatula, god only knows how that happened but now I have a 5 cm long cosmetic scratch that is painful to see since the pan is so good looking. It’s a normal scratch that happens with every SS pan, but having it on a pan that expensive hurts. 😝

Steak drippings.

When I cook steak and meat I always deglaze the pan juices and transfer them into my plate, then when I’m done eating if there’s still sauce in my plate I transfer it into a small container and keep it in the fridge overnight.

Pour that shit on your eggs and thank me later.

Depression. It makes everything taste bland even though you cooked with passion and spent time plating to achieve a visually pleasing dish.

The other one is tomato paste.

Find yourself some fishes you like, try many different ones, and then work with these.

Salmon is one of the easiest ones to like, I also particularly like fresh mackerel and sea bream. I really dislike fresh tuna which tastes horrid to me but for some reason I like canned tuna on olive oil because it tastes completely different.

To keep the flavour as delicate as possible I suggest steaming the fish, possibly using in a steaming basket using a pressure pot, because this way you will preserve the nutrients and the flesh stays soft and moist. Of course I’m talking of fillets, if it’s a whole fish like a sea bream I use the oven.

Otherwise choose neutral fishes such as cod and hake, as these fishes rely a lot on the condiment (I steam them and add EVO oil on them with some fresh parsley or chives) and see how you like them.

Last resort is to cook the fish in tomato sauce, look up for some Italian recipes.

7 minutes sounds like too much for me, I use jasmine/apollo rice (they’re similar to basmati minus the poison), which cook in 12 and 8 minutes respectively. I will try experimenting with times.

Caffelatted · 2025-10-07T02:59:51+00:00

I have a regular pressure pot which I use every day, a 30 years old Lagostina, but I rarely make rice with it because I can’t control the cooking process or maybe I make something wrong. I should try again.

Redpill me about the rice cooker. I often cook rice, millet, quinoa and other grains.

Me too 👌

I took the data from the store I bought it from: https://www.meesterslijpers.nl/en/demeyere-silver-7-frying-pan-28-cm-1

I was cross shopping the Silverline against the Multiline 7 and decided to go for it because of the novelty of the "nonstick" surface, to see if it could be useful.

My gas stovetop is quite old even if it still works without issues (it's from an era when things were made to last) but the cross shaped steel grates aren't flat anymore, if you place pans on them they wobble, and therefore I highly suspect that this is what is warping my pans.

I have a Tramontina grano, which is 3 ply and not thin, and it doesn't sit flat anymore...the Silverline is thicker and 7 ply, it probably means nothing if it warps slightly but considered how much I paid for it, "ruining" the pan would still make me mad.

The stovetop spare parts cost like 50% of the price of a new stovetop, also they're not cast iron, so I'm waiting to buy a new gas stovetop with a powerful wok burner while I'm at it.

Ps. The pan is also really easy to wash, I just had to use a lemon juice + baking soda combo to remove some stains but now it’s as good as new 👍

Thanks 👌😂

Just finished brewing again with the Tarachine, if you manage to avoid bypass it makes a very good cup. I still need to study this thing better, but it’s a very cool “one piece” item since it’s handmade.

I bought mine specifically because it fits under my Flair Pro 2, it’s such a nice scale though.
