It’s called seasoning you uncultured swine.
These people would try and polish a cast iron pan.
Or cover it in aluminum foil before they cook with it.
Or clean out a broken in tea cup
I like the creamy fermented bits at the bottom of a well used coffee mug myself.
That first cup after a vacation is divine.
My father had this tea cup he never washed out. He would leave floaters in it and go out to camp for a week.
One week while he was gone I washed this thing. I swear to god it had mould floaters in it. Fuck he hit the roof when he came home and saw it washed.
This is the first time that one of your comments made me physically gag and dry-heave. I feel delighted to finally join the club of people who have felt disgusted by your heinous humor.
I don’t know, after seeing one of those pans with a proper shine on it in a meme, I’d love to see the colour changes from oxidation when you re-season it
Cast iron oxidizes into rust so I don’t imagine you’ll see a nice patina like on copper cookware.
Aye but that micron thin oxide layer that it gets looks magnificent, if you put it in an oven at the right temp you could get it coming out almost goldlike
cover it with foil, brand new pan every time
Parchment paper
Alzheimer’s when
Wait till you find out about the PFAS in the non stick pans
When grandma starts covering the used tinfoil with more tinfoil…
There’s at least another 700 years of use left in that pan.
Future archeologist trying to carbon date my pan:
“WTF is this thing!? There are so many different layers of carbon!”
I honestly wonder if it’s possible to see what all got cooked on that thing by analyzing it in a lab.
“About 80% seems to be Totino’s pizza rolls.”
It’s for ritualistic burnt offerings of course.
Why? What’s wrong with it?
Ignore it. This is BIG Pan propaganda.
Keep your pans. You’ll be needing them. We’re about to enter into a recession.
About to enter?
We’ve been in a recession for years
We’ve had one, yes but what about second recession?
If the US does kick off against Greenland. You ain’t seen nothing yet
We’re long past recession, we’re about to enter full blown depression if not already, supply chain collapse and more! Get to know your neighbours, share food, community garden and buckle up!
By ‘let it go’ you mean simply clean it? Why would you throw it away?
That’s when it’s most useful because now it’s nonstick.
And an unsuspecting seasoner! 😋
And it takes longer to season aluminium!
The phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is in order of most-to-least good for the environment.
you can take it from my cold dead hands
You tell em Taco!!!
Naw that one heats up faster
this pan will outlive me
what? it’s still perfectly good.
just throw some bartenders friend in there and very lightly scrub it, it’s not the pressure it’s the action, and you will see metal again in no time
And remove the seasoning?
nah bro that shit an artifact from 100 BC
No. Fuck you.
But the pan is really just a hot place to put parchment paper, so who cares.
