Right. Thank you. I’ll get a proper one so and bin this.

Mostly just using the air fryer these days anyway. You can do a fuck load more with it than the other.

I have a 12-inch and 6-inch cast iron pans and use them for so much. Worth the extra cleaning trouble.

The underside of it doesn’t matter that much. It may not have had it when you got it, but I’d bet good money all of that used to be a non-stick coating. Look how it goes up the walls of the pan and none of that has been scoured off with cleaning.

i bet if dime took some barkeeper's friend and a rough sponge to that he'd find out it's stainless steel. either that or it's carbon steel.

either way, dime's throwing off a ton of radioactive material every time he burps or craps.

Not being funny. That would go a long long way to explain my health travails of late.

I’ll dump it and get a new one. Thanks lads.

Doug's getting stressed...

Get a Gordon Ramsey hexclad, dime. Isn’t he Irish

I’d like to try one of those.

No he’s very very English. Londoner. Even worse

What’s a hexclad?

I bought a mildly expensive stainless steel pan to cook steaks in and on first use managed to burn it so badly its all but fucked now (used my single burner thingy that I didn't know got so damn hot). So then went and bought a cast iron pan that I am far more careful with. Cooks a mean steak, and I love doing Eye Fillet roasts in it (brown in the pan and then put the whole pan into the BBQ to roast with lashings of garlic/rosemary butter on top).

Easy as to keep clean, but I'm yet to re-season it. The wease method sounds simple enough.

Also have a cast iron camp stove that has only been used a few times, but to excellent effect.

One of my cast irons is a small one, I think meant for camping. But it is the perfect size for a pancake, and when I pour batter in, it goes to the edge and makes a perfectly round pancake every time. I feel like an iron chef walking to the breakfast table serving everyone my perfect pancakes.

this sounds super inefficient if making more than one or even a few. why not cook several at a time in a pan with a larger surface area?

Never question a man’s usage of his cast iron. Especially an Amish man.

Don’t be an idiot, wease. A pancake can be eaten as quickly as one cooks. A pancake gets colder even quicker.

Ruddo so damn proud of his perfectly circular pancakes, no one has the heart to tell him they’re starving and want hot flapjacks.

Does seem kinda labour intensive just for one pancake at a time

the amish love labor intensive and life is slow paced

Are they the ones with the godlike hot guys?
Or is that them Mormons?

Whichever. They can make me pancakes any morning. Slow as they like.

Yeah it isn’t practical. I assume it’s for a solo camper or something like that. I picked it up at a yard sale years ago

Was about to say bringing a cast iron pan camping ain’t practical either but it would be handy if you had to fight off a bear or a wolf maybe.
