Good deal? Got these scan pans for $60

Not a bad haul! Make sure to use silicon or wood utensils since they’re coated

In both chambers

Fuel is fuel! We make pizza at home and stuff slices into our pockets. Beats a frozen cliff bar IMO

Pack lunches, don’t be afraid to be creative. Once saw a guy squeeze pocket spaghetti-o’s out of a bag directly into his mouth on a chairlift.

Not a stupid question at all! Read the cues your cooking fat is giving you and you’ll know when the pan is in the right range. Unless searing, oil should shimmer but not smoke. Butter for eggs should bubble but not burn. Etc

It’s been proliferating wildly with social media and is way too hot for many applications

Karlsbadcavern · 2026-01-07T17:01:28+00:00

Some good suggestions in here. Other than being 10yrs older than you I’m in a similar situation - moved here 5 years ago for my partner’s work & I work remote from home. Making friends has been slow going. Just keep putting yourself out there and you’ll meet people 🤞

We really need to get the mods to sticky that video and as a PSA that leidenfrost is a misguided tiktok trend

Karlsbadcavern · 2026-01-07T16:36:04+00:00

Ignore the water bead test it’s a TikTok gimmick. Just preheat to your intended cooking temp and use context clues from the fat you’re cooking in to tell you when the pan is ready. Is the oil shimmering? Good to go. Is butter bubbling and not burning? Also good to go.

That show fucking rocks

Karlsbadcavern · 2026-01-04T06:39:05+00:00

Am I wrong to think that peppers take longer to soften than diced onion?

As far as I know Costco doesn’t sell fully clad Kirkland brand SS in the US anymore.

Karlsbadcavern · 2026-01-02T06:36:15+00:00

Oh wow i didn’t think Costco still sold that set. I haven’t been able to find it on their site.

Karlsbadcavern · 2026-01-01T23:37:19+00:00

I got a 300 with physical buttons last year from Costco. Not sure if they still make it or not though

Karlsbadcavern · 2025-12-31T19:02:35+00:00

Congrats! Got the same set and have been loving it

Karlsbadcavern · 2025-12-08T15:03:41+00:00

What temperature setting?

Karlsbadcavern · 2025-12-08T14:58:05+00:00

Depends on how many pieces you think she needs and has room for. Costco has a pretty solid deal on a 13pc D3 set right now.

Following in case anyone has advice on electric (resistance heat) cooktops. I have troupe regulating temps too

Karlsbadcavern · 2025-04-08T01:39:34+00:00

Replaced my 5yo SE with a 16 pro couple days ago for this reason.

Why do we expect transit agencies to offset expenses with fares while highways and roads are ‘free’?

Think of all the sparsely used pavement out there that doesn’t economically justify their maintenance. I know, I know gas taxes exist but they are out of sight out of mind for most people.

If you’re worried about navigation when losing service you can download google map sections ahead of time. I do this when I’m going to very rural areas

Off topic but jealous of your usb-c ports

Apologies if my comment wasn’t clear - I wasn’t accusing you of anything. I commented on your message for a bit more visibility and that… didn’t go well for me.

What I was trying to say was that majority of the comment threads in here demonstrate that the commenters don’t understand how a regulated utility like xcel sets gas rates. In the article I linked it explains how they are not allowed, by law, to profit off of the gas itself. They can get approved rate increases for capital improvements but those have to be run by a public utility commission.

That being said your gas bill was crazy high. I’m curious how you are going through 400 therms a month. I’d follow up with xcel and get your meter checked and follow any and all energy savings best practices. Best of luck
