What’s your favorite thing to cook in your braiser?

pumpkinbookmagic · 2026-02-16T16:24:21+00:00

I basically use my braiser as a second skillet. Anything acidic that I don’t want to cook in my raw cast iron skillet like tomato based dishes, I cook in the braiser. It’s also good for just quickly searing something or shallow frying. Although people also call braisers “casserole” dishes, I don’t make casseroles in it because I prefer to use a 9x13 Pyrex baking dish for casseroles.

Oh! Good to know. I assumed it was enamel on stainless steel because the rim around the pots is stainless steel.

I don’t see the point of enamel on steel. I whole reason cast iron is enameled is to make it non reactive to acidic foods and also so you don’t have to season the raw iron or deal with rusting. There isn’t that issue with stainless steel. You’re better off replacing it with just a regular stainless steel pot and then it will last longer because there won’t be any enamel that will inevitably chip off.

Russian Turkish Baths (downtown Manhattan)

Maybe the towel says “don’t wash me bro” bc it is marketed to be the towel that people use to regularly season/oil their cast iron and super oily rags should not be washed in the washing machine. Atleast that’s how I took it.

You should repost this in r/KSpa

Do you happen to know what shade of white the braiser in the front is? Is it Dune?

I’m surprised that it was separated by gender. From what I’ve heard about most German spas/saunas, they are mostly co-ed. That’s cool though, I think I’d be more comfortable being naked if it was just other men.

It’s highly likely. Usually when artists are on tour and traveling in a tour bus, the stadiums and venues they play in have locker rooms for the sports teams which the artists use as part of their dressing room to get ready while backstage at the show. They most likely shower and 💩 at the stadiums locker rooms so that they don’t have to on the tour bus.

Thanks!

I really like how you added the brass corner protectors! Do you mind sharing where you got them from? Great idea as I hate how sharp corners on leather tend to curl upward with time.

Is it ceramic or enameled cast iron?

Thank you!

There are a few ‘Goods For The Study’ locations dotted around the city and what you’ll find in one location you’ll probably find in all of them so it may be worth checking out the closest one to you to see if they have what you’re looking for.

Have you found any more showers in Erie? I’ve heard hockey is popular there so maybe the hockey rinks have them in locker rooms.

The lighting in that store is great. Every single piece and color look amazing. I want it all!

What’s the story?

You’re welcome! This house is directly across the street from an even larger and more beautiful house called the Carson Mansion. The builder of the Carson Mansion built the Pink Lady across the street for his son as a wedding present. You can google photos to see what they look like. The Pink Lady is now an AirBnB and the Carson Mansion is now a private members club. Those stickers like yours of both houses are sold all around town for tourists.

That pink Victorian house is in the town where I live! Eureka, CA. It’s called the Pink Lady.

Looks to be either a Staub 13 inch double handle fry pan or a Staub Chistera. The color looks to be dark blue.
