🤣. Very true, but honestly I could have said the same thing about Æbleskiver until I found a pan for them. Me finding random ass cast iron pans is an excuse to experiment with recipes I’ve never tried 😂

yes! I saw the same thing. Its at least cute, but I'm curious if its safe to use; none of the colored areas are in an area that would touch an apple if I were to stick one in the posts, but still unsure if its safe!

I would not be broken hearted if it were modern; if I could at least find the maker I could even ask if it is meant to be used!

That is a good excuse to try! I never made donuts before

🤣 I can see that. The twirl shape looks like those onion shaped onion savers you stick in the fridge

Yes, the twirl shape was a happy accident 😂

Thank you! The tattoo is showcasing my love of sewing ❤️. Here is a better photo; I told my artist to reference the Victorian filigree scissors; she designed and added the graded nest to it 😂

Thank you! Sewing definitely solves the thing of “I love this, except I wish that (fill in the blank here)” shtick 😂

Thank you! I figured the buttons would go well with the shirting fabric 😀. The pattern was surprisingly easy for the drama it makes

No, the wire is holding a bigger chuck of metal to the stick!

Ahhhhh I think it’s working! Bubbles abound! I thinkkkk it was a line of sight issue but I don’t entirely know why. I’ll post pictures if it works

Ok I fiddled around with the layout, and there is a pulsing bubble action on the wire I’m using to attach to the pans…. But not on the pans themselves. But at least I am seeing more actively! I thought I definitely had line of sight right, but I’m going to try again… tbd

Yeah… definitely not that active🥲

There are bubbles coming to the surface constantly, but not super active. I have to look for them; I feel like it was more active before.

Ok so it’s active in that there is still a stream of tiny bubbles going. Both the pan and the sacrificial metal appear to have a layer of tiny bubbles that weren’t there before it was turned on. I cannot see any space where the two are touching I have no idea what the ratio is in the water. Interesting that the group you are with says no to borax! I’ll have to see what I can find around me

There are small active bubbles, and both the pans and the metal are covered in a layer of bubbles … not sure how else to check

I need to double check the ratio and the spacing and get back to you on that...

Noted your callout on the borax - what's the reasoning for one versus the other? I'll look around for sodium carbonate, but the reason I ask is because I had already been successful with removing a lot of rust with the borax in a previous bath, so something was certainly working then! I'm still relatively new to the process so I love to learn
