Oh, and can you please cite your source for this claim:

I have, and no, I didn’t.

Yep, understood. I just wanted to clarify that in my experience as long as a pan is very well seasoned even acidic foods shouldn’t be much of an issue. In fact I prefer cooking acidic foods on cast iron because any microscopic amounts of iron the acid leeches out is actually a great source of dietary iron which is an…

I gotta ask: Where do you live?

It is true that acidic ingredients can, over time, eat away at the seasoning. That would take quite a long time however. A well seasoned pan should have no problem simmering an acidic sauce for quite some time. I have done tomato sauces in my cast iron many times without issue. I always follow up with a very quick…

“I am asking a genuine, logical question”

I don’t understand what physics you’re using to base the assumption that cast iron “soaks” up spices?

Yes I do. It’s an HDMI+USB type KVM switch that controls access to my PC, my server, and my two laptops.

A properly seasoned cast iron skillet should essentially *be* non-stick.

I gotta disagree. My cast iron pan gets used more often than all my other pans combined, and I have quite the collection of stainless steel and non-stick pans.

I’d rather pay the extra money for these:

I have this exact thermostat that I use in conjunction with IFTTT recipes to automatically turn the temperature up and down based on how far away I am from my house.

In the limited testing I’ve done in my home, I’ve found a correlation with closing my unused bedrooms vents and a lower electrical usage during the periods those vents are closed.

I was thinking of exactly this parks and rec episode when I read this article.

It’s not so much an age issue, IMO. If I’m at home where I have speakers, sure I’ll watch a video... But if I’m reading this on a plane (Where the text and images were auto downloaded for me because I won’t have wifi) or at the office, or in a waiting room somewhere... You just can’t play a video in those situations.

I have probably about a dozen myself. I have literally never taken a vehicle to Jiffy Lube and had them *not* fuck something up while it was there.

Oh I wish mine would beep like that. I always *try* to open it as soon as it’s done, because otherwise my plastic containers are just filled with water. If I open it right away even the plasticware dries out pretty well.

What drives me nuts about stuff like this is that people don’t catch the “160 degree” part. 160 degrees (F) will cause THIRD DEGREE burns in under 0.5 seconds... That’s HALF a second.

I believe *all* “modern” dishwashers now have water heaters built in given that it’s more or less government mandated (At least in the US) as it’s required for energy star certification.
