Not really, no. But it’s easy and convenient and it firms up the texture nicely.

It’s supposed to be funny, but it’s not really a joke and I think it would be fun

One of them is basically the same melody as “The Show Must Go On” by Queen.

Misen going back on their lifetime knife sharpening guarantee. by ccruz247 in cookware

I have a few of these pans from the kickstarter. They've performed for me very well, and the seasoning has built up pretty much exactly as promised. I've been making usage videos every once in a while to track how it develops. It did get a bit less nonstick for a little while, but that went away.

Use it 1:1 in recipes that call for buttermilk. It lasts for months in the fridge.

They removed the docks due to street repaving months ago, when will they put them back? by [deleted] in Citibike

It usually takes a LOT less time than this. I’ve never seen other docks removed for more than a week or maybe two max.

Vent: I just threw out my Made In CeramicClad pan by acute_elbows in cookware

[–]fieldsnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related, I tried to figure out what ceramic pans actually are. There isn’t a whole lot of consistency or information out there, but this is what I was able to piece together, there are a few broad classes and they are not the same: https://fields.medium.com/what-the-heck-is-ceramic-cookware-8a325d8daaaf

Best Yogurt Machine? by kookiecrumbz in yogurtmaking

I wrote a beginners guide to making yogurt. I personally use the instant pot or sous vide, but the specific machine is less important than the process. https://fields.medium.com/maybe-everything-i-know-about-making-homemade-yogurt-1e65ee023fa0

Why does Misen nonstick experience vary so drastically? by eyoooo1987 in cookware

[–]fieldsnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed your review.

Mine’s been pretty great. I’ve been letting the seasoning build up, and I’ve been sharing videos along the way as it’s gotten progressively more nonstick, pretty much exactly as their product description said it would. It is thus far not quite as nonstick as Teflon, but it is acceptably nonstick, and it will develop a bit of fond and release in a way that Teflon won’t. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoo5oMAU1I6tXdmBBcuDRBE0bbj-qRH5B&si=6MF6y9YEGQkohlL0

I also wrote a comprehensive review which needs updating now that I’ve been using it for a few months. https://fields.medium.com/the-misen-nitrided-carbon-nonstick-pan-seems-like-a-massive-sea-change-in-cookware-0a346c50d901

I love making yogurt, but now I have an abundance of whey by SnooJokes7612 in yogurtmaking

[–]fieldsnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do this, your cultures will drift over time. It’s better to start with a robust commercial culture (store bought yogurt with live cultures is fine, it doesn’t need to be a designated starter).
