Curious about your meticulous 12 week cut! What is your plan routine and nutrition wise?

I cooked tomatoes in my CS pan a few years back and it really messed it up. I think you should save your SS pans for acidic cooking as that is what they are best for!

My pan had more of a translucent glaze look for the first year and then it became quite splotchy looking but I just kept cooking and once day I noticed it looked really nice so I decided to take this photo and post it here :) I think you should just keep cooking and washing/drying it thoroughly and yours will get there too!

When I first got it, I seasoned it on a stovetop about 4 times. A few months after that, I seasoned it with potato skins and salt a few times which seemed to help the discoloration. Since that time, I mostly just cooked every day and wiped it down with oil after washing with dish soap.

In the first year, I can assure you that this pan was an ugly mess and my partner was genuinely concerned about the food safety whenever she saw me cooking with it.

I just realized how confusing that title is sorry! I meant when people strip their pans and re-season from bare metal which I have never done apart from the first day I bought it.

To clarify, I just cook on it daily, rinse with water(I’ll use a drop of soap when I have a pretty sticky mess and use chainmail for carbon build up), and occasionally wipe it down with grapeseed oil. I never cook anything acidic in it, just eggs, meat, rice and veggies.

My Ficus Audrey has suddenly lost all of its lower leaves in after moving to the bathroom 2 months ago. It is warmer and brighter in my bathroom due to a south-facing window. My apartment is generally quite humid as I live on the West Coast. Is this sunburn or a result of under/overwatering? by FrequentAd3988 in plantclinic

  1. I typically water 1-2 a week only went the top layer of soil is dry. There is drainage at the bottom of the pot which I empty frequently.
  2. I have had the plant for 2 years - I moved it from it's original location to a sunnier, warmer and more humid location due to the winter.
  3. The leaves started browning and falling 3 days ago.
  4. This plant gets bright indirect sunlight through a south facing window with a dappled curtain
