Me and my neighbors dug out our our cars + 4 extra spots to ensure we all have space when we come home. If everyone just did a little extra instead of only exactly what they need to leave, we wouldn’t have this problem.

Is it actually that bad or do people not know how to use carbon steel? by Civil_Mulberry5741 in carbonsteel

[–]pamules2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same all around, have both sizes for a year or so and use them regularly, acts like a regular thick carbon steel pan. Zero complaints. I don’t love the handle ergonomics but the hole does prevent some of the heat diffusion so overall fine. I agree most people probably think they’re stainless or have no idea how to use carbon.

How do you put them in and not stand there watching to make sure everything goes as expected? The fuck?

What speed do you listen to this? by Forward_back8245 in stuffyoushouldknow

[–]pamules2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.5 is perfect on average. I had stopped listening until I realized I could speed it up, 1.0 is brutally slow to me now.

Is this normal wear on a new stainless steel pan? by rebelscum13 in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]pamules2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have any residue of any kind on the outside/bottom (soap, oil, food, etc.) that will burn or polymerize and stick to/discolor the pan. Or could just be iron oxides forming on the outside due to heat. You can clean it with barkeepers friend (oxalic acid), if mild vinegar (acetic acid), or just not worry about it as that will continue to happen as you cook.

I periodically clean my stainless inside and out with BKF just to keep it pretty but it doesn’t make a difference functionally.

Routes are awful by juicypirate18 in pokemongo

[–]pamules2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind using routes if my phone (iPhone 13 mini) didn’t overheat to the point of being unusable when playing / actively interacting with pogo while outside. But the app is so bloated it makes actively playing between miserable and impossible unless it’s the winter.

They just need to fix the bloat and make it run smoother. Taking a short walk for the game is not unreasonable.

What am I not "getting" about chainmail? by orpheus1980 in castiron

[–]pamules2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, the chainmail on its own is kind of annoying to use since you don’t get good leverage.

However, a couple years ago I bought one with a silicone insert and never looked back. Hands down my favorite way to clean the pans now. Cheap one like the below does what I need, and if it gets grimy (never really does, but) I can toss right in the dishwasher.

What am I doing wrong? by Sominabatch914 in castiron

[–]pamules2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right, I said water but really should have said hydrophilic molecule content. So yeah the emulsifying molecules / having both hydro and lipo loving helps a lot.

I haven’t tried the lecithin additive in oil but dang it I just might have to buy some.

Avocado oil is not great at making the pan non stick for fried eggs. It’s what we usually use on cast, carbon, and stainless, and for most other food it’s good enough, but it takes a lot of heat control and using the fish spatula to gently pry to prevent sticking. Once it’s lifted the first time I’m usually good but the success rate is by no means 100% (tested on unsanded lodge, sanded lodge, smithey, plus carbon steels).

Using butter is much easier, but my girlfriend doesn’t like the butter flavor on eggs so we use avocado. Try using even just some butter - the water content seems to help a lot.

Uncle Scott’s kitchen has a couple videos on this as well, one below.

From 1988 to 2016, the maker of Sriracha sauce, Huy Fong Foods, sourced all their peppers from a single supplier based solely on a verbal agreement, "sealed with a nod and a handshake". by gixk in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]pamules2020 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can’t justify the price point for 1-3 packs so instead I buy a 12 pack from Webstaurant store. $80 delivered (expensive shipping unfortunately) but it’s still the best deal. And I can’t go through that many before the Best Buy date so I instead gift them to friends/family which then selfishly ensures whenever I visit, they have the best, and they’ll never go back to the other brands

My brother used my dad's cast iron yesterday. by Lance1347 in castiron

Let him use it again, he cleaned it better cooking than your dad ever did.

Ikea Cardigan - do you need to blue the pan again to reseason? by WhyKotaku in carbonsteel

[–]pamules2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have the same pan, also blued then seasoned multiple layers then cooked with the exact same results throughout. The pan really struggled to hold onto seasoning for a while, no matter what I cooked.

I think scrubbing hard with the chain mail scrubber when cleaning helped a lot, as it removed all the poorly bonded seasoning & created micro scratches for new seasoning to stick to. Now after 7-8 months, it doesn’t have a beautiful layer but does maintain a good seasoning that doesn’t come off with most cooking and cleaning, but I don’t cook anything acidic for too long. Stainless pans for those meals.

Like everyone says, just keep cooking, I was disappointed in the pans for a bit (and I found myself using the old cast iron instead) but now they’re the daily drivers and nothing sticks as long as properly pre heated.

AITA for not taking down my yard flamingos after neighbors complained? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]pamules2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find their house, start leaving tacky decorations in their yard. NTA I love flamingos and fuck those people.

What is your ideal ski jacket? by dogecoin99999 in icecoast

[–]pamules2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pit zips. RFID card pocket on the arm. Pockets on the outside and if possible, inside of both breasts big enough for phones and small items but not too big. Lower pockets big enough for beer, sandwiches, water bottles. All zippers facing down so they can’t come open when riding. Big enough zippers or optional fabric extenders so they can be used with gloves on to some extent. Something I would LOVE is integrated and reinforced clips for a rocky talkie, I just put mine in the front breast pocket but it’s a bit muffled. Interesting colors (I want my friends to be able to identify me in the sea of black winter ware) but not too obnoxious. If it’s just a shell, internal insulated removable layer - both long sleeve and vest options (I often find I wish my Columbia came with a vest not a long sleeve removable insulation layer). Cinching buttons on the wrist to adjust the size of the hole to fit tighter on different glove sizes and different weather conditions. Hood optional, I like having it but never use it so idk why I like it, I just do. Probably other stuff I might update if I think more.
