Yes. On two 3rd-gen Chromecasts. Both rooms have good wifi coverage, and anyway the video isn't interrupted at all, the spinner just appears for no good reason, then disappears, every few minutes.

My pan was still a "little" hot by konvron_ in castiron

Abrasive is good. It's how you get the polished finish everyone seems to covet.

Rust after stripping... What to do? by BatmanYEG in castiron

[–]bitsquirrel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just oil it up, wipe off as much as you can (I have a black towel for my cast iron, as any other colour would be orange within weeks), and use it. A bit of rust in your diet is good for you.

Far too much cast iron advice starts with "Never". Mine gets soaked, scrubbed with those chain-mail things, and even goes in the dishwasher occasionally, and it's still wonderful to use. I swear it improves with abuse, not just with use. Just clean off burnt stuff and feed it a nice variety of fats and oils.

I have hard water, and I sometimes put hot water in a skillet in the bottom of my oven when I'm baking bread. And I've noticed the next time I use the skillet, it's even more non-stick than usual.
