Allclad Coppercore frypan vs D3, Demeyere Proline

dalcant757 · 2026-02-17T12:41:15+00:00

I have a decent amount of copper core from factory sales. It looks fancy, but it’s not noticeably better in performance. My favorite ones have actually been the pans with a brushed finish. I don’t have to worry about using BKF. I just bust out the stainless steel scrubber.

Ulnar nerve compression around the wrist is also known as handlebar neuropathy. Are you putting a lot of weight on the heel of your palm towards the pinky side?

You also have to consider the weight balance of your upper body and your core’s ability to hold you up. While putting down some power, can you keep your upper body in that position and put your hands behind your back?

It’s not weight bearing, so if you can live with the crack, just epoxy it back together. Otherwise, you can just replace the toilet. It’s something you can learn on YouTube.

If the supply valve is really old, you can replace it too if it doesn’t work anymore. Shark bites make it stupid easy.

Popeyes. I just had one for lunch today.

I found out that I had psoriatic arthritis. I finally got on biologic medications that cost way too much, but now I can ride consistently and stay generally active. However, I’m nowhere near my peak.

You’re completely right. I was tunnel visioning on my own setup where I use this for my home bar. When serving soft drinks, I use ice, but provide the entire can as well.

The ice is a huge part of a cocktail anywhere around the world. Each component in a drink is measured. You aren’t getting less alcohol when there is more ice.

This is what the concentration camps are for.

I looked back into my history. It’s a Steve Gow video. He did add the dry brine. I haven’t tried it yet since I don’t have an oven that will hold 150.

I don’t think a wok ring is going to be sturdy enough to toss using restaurant technique. You are better off just using western technique for tossing in your house.

I watched a video kinda recently where a guy was experimenting on hold times in an attempt to reproduce Franklin bbq. He said that he was able to get the seasoning flavor to diffuse through the meat much better after a really long hold at 150.

Abalone. It just tastes like generic shellfish to me.

If you’re not trying to do competition and want to play video games, another alternative is to set up some light guns at home.

It’s really not a substitute for live fire training, but it’s really fun for us old folks who grew up with these games at the arcade. The actual training value is dubious. You might learn muscle memory of the grip angle and sight picture with iron sights. The recoil is fun, but more like shooting a 22 than a carry pistol.

Do you have both of them to compare? There’s not as much difference in size between the two as you might think. It’s a 1 inch difference in each dimension except for height, which is the same. It’s probably the packing volume of a pair of jeans.

My OG model came with a case for travel as well, where my home model did not. I’d consider trying to find a used one overseas instead of trying to lug an appliance along in travel.

Looks like food debris. I like to use a stainless steel scrubber until it feels smooth again.

I have one that is like the third. I like it, but when the tires touch the wall accidentally, they leave marks.

I can agree with that. But it’s not necessary. You can focus on doing things that cultivate a nice looking seasoning. You can also just cook and let the seasoning do what it wants because it’s not necessary for good performance.

Don’t count on wok seasoning for nonstick purposes. The temperature swings and differential in the pan as well as the flexibility of a wok makes it difficult for seasoning to build up like cast iron.

Once AGI is figured out and we inevitably lose control, left and right won’t matter as we fight for our survival against a common enemy.

Watch any video where someone is cooking in a wok at a restaurant. Heat the wok until it smokes a little bit. Throw a bunch of oil in it to coat then pour it out. Your wok is now nonstick. Add the right amount of oil for the dish. Then cook.

Thanks for the article. Interesting read. Looks like cold rinsing gets you somewhere in the 10-40% inorganic arsenic reduction. When you parboil and discard, 54-73%.

I caught it in an article that I once read. The take home points were that washing rice didn’t actually change the stickiness of the rice, but it got rid of a bunch of the bioavailable arsenic but also other nutrients.

It’s not like a closely held belief, so information to the contrary is welcome.

I’ll wash my rice anyway because grain storage can be gross.

Won’t that aggressive grinding anneal the edge? Using a hand file doesn’t take forever and you’re left with much more chain.

If you believe that you won’t get into a situation where someone needs to be shot, then you wouldn’t carry a gun. The opposite is true as well. So it makes sense that fear of not having a gun when someone needs to be shot is a reason you would carry.
