I spend a Saturday morning seasoning my cast iron stuff by heating the oven to broil and wiping the pan down with vegetable oil and heating it upside down (use a cookie sheet on the lower rack if you are concerned about drips) for 30 mins, let cool, and repeat three or four times. Takes a couple of hours but it will stay good until you son leaves it soaking in a sink full of soap.

I don't really janitor my cast iron pan and it's been fine. I do some light scrubbing with a soap brush every now and then but usually the sink sprayer gets it clean. The notion that soap strips the seasoning is a total myth.quote:The Reality: Seasoning is actually not a thin layer of oil, it's a thin layer of polymerized oil, a key distinction. In a properly seasoned cast iron pan, one that has been rubbed with oil and heated repeatedly, the oil has already broken down into a plastic-like substance that has bonded to the surface of the metal. This is what gives well-seasoned cast iron its non-stick properties, and as the material is no longer actually an oil, the surfactants in dish soap should not affect it. Go ahead and soap it up and scrub it out. https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/11/the-truth-about-cast-iron.html Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 00:12 on May 3, 2019 |

Chainmail scrubber is the greatest invention for cast iron (or stainless steel, etc.) cookware cleaning.

I'll second the Wusthof knives. I bought a bunch of their classic line about two weeks ago and love them. Way better than the random assortment of hand me down knives I had been using since college. I also have a set of stainless steel cephalon pots I like too. In addition to my cast iron - I tend to use my cast iron skillet more.

Vegas is hot as poo poo in July, so I guess spend a lot of time in the pool? I like the pools at the Mirage a lot, for whatever that's worth. As far as food on the strip or within a $10 uber ride: Momofuku and Milk Bar for your fancy pants eating, get some cereal milk ice cream. Ramen Sora is the best ramen I've ever had in my life. Lotus Thai is awesome for thai food. In N Out obviously, Bruxie is a good sandwich, but you can get them in LA so it's not that big of a deal. I cant think of anymore good ones off the top of my head. This guy is a fat Vegas poker player, and you can basically trust that anything he recommends is probably gonna be worth eating: http://jimmyeatsvegas.com

You can pry my fibrox knives from my cold dead hands. Best knives in the world until you hit triple figures. I'll have to look at that chainmail scrubber though. I usually just use hot oil, kosher salt, and some paper towels to clean my cast iron. It's kinda wasteful.

The only good time to be outside is after dark, and it's still hot as balls until just before dawn. To do: you probably won't find a bad show to go to, honestly, just pick one from a billboard and go (Blue Man Group is pretty safe). The Stratosphere has a really good view of the Strip that you can pay to jump off of. Red Rock Canyon has great hiking, but again, hot. To eat: Capital Grille over by Wynn is one of the better steakhouses in the area, with a really good house pineapple martini. Hash House A Go Go in the Rio for sheer gluttony. Fuente lounge in Caesar's for the best mojitos in the whole city. Also everything I quoted.

I just got a 8” and 12” lodge cast iron. Pretty proud of the seasoning. Some things can be tricky, especially eggs & pancakes. When I’m bougie with a kitchen island and, well, actual kitchen space, I’ll have an assortment of pans. I won’t do Teflon and there is an interesting amount of different non-stick type materials they’re using these days. A bit overwhelming, tbh. I’m really missing something with raised etches. Might get a dutch oven and wok at some point. Instant pot is terrible for rice. I’m getting pretty good at stovetop, but might get a small dinky rice maker. I have a handful of knives including ceramic. I actually quite like the ceramic ones for certain things, but I got a nice $60 Santoku knife on amazon and it’s all I ever use. I have a nice regular kitchen knife ideal for meat but I’m not doing a lot of meat prep Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 03:10 on May 3, 2019 |

For more Vegas stuff, what are you into? How many nights? Are you driving? What area are you staying? The shows are incredible and even the cheap ones can be fun. The food is good pretty much everywhere on the south half of the strip, I highly recommended any of the tourist food places, ESPECIALLY Hattie B's and July, just stay inside. If you're still gonna walk, the bus pass is a really good deal because it's a 25 hour transfer, and it takes you the whole length from downtown to Mandalay Bay. The monorail on the east side of the strip kinda sucks but takes you most of the strip (MGM to SLS), and there's a free one that stops at Park MGM, City Center/Crystals, and the Bellagio. Crystals at City Center has FREE valet, and that valet deal is directly underground from the FREE tram platform, with mall exits going directly to Cosmo, as well.

Hattie Bs is based out of Nashville. It's good stuff. Kinda surprised they haven't opened up shop in Memphis. Not gonna lie, I'd see Britney if the timing was right and the tickets were cheap/free. Would not waste my time on Gwen Stefani. Not for all the bananas in Panama.

It was the equivalent of a chubby guy/girl standing next to a fatter person to look better by comparison. At some point in life, it would be nice seeing toby keith walking around singing by animals at a rodeo and get kicked where his balls are supposed to be by a horse. I got a Cubs world series, come on universe, make this happen.

Yes, for clarification that was a joke. That place sucks. It's like a Hardee's that's 3-4x the price. The one time I went I was in uniform. It was a nightmare.

When I went, one of you recommend White Castle over In-n-Out and I just wanna say for the record that is one of the hottest takes I've ever tasted. In-n-Out>White Castle. Also lol at Toby Keith. There's one at Gillette stadium and it's the tackiest looking place I've ever seen. Wasn't too surprised to see it in Vegas since half that city seems to cater to the lowest common denominator.
