A quick rinse over with cold water right away is a good way to warp pans, if it's long enough to materially cool them. I'm not saying that my dislike of doing dishes is entirely rational, but I think "use dishwasher to wash dishes" vs "take gloves and sponge to work" isn't much of a stupid life hack. I also use a washing machine.

You'll gently caress the pan up. Even a thick pan. Let it cool down to a reasonable temperature before putting water on it, and then hot water. Not cold.

It is more of a niche that has to be filled because parents excepted TV to raise their kids and TV expected parents to raise own kids. I blame a capitalist culture that rewards companies that don't pay a living wage, thus forcing family to have two sources of income just to survive. So I applaud these brave YouTubers for trying to save society from itself all while making a profit. The system works. Shwqa has a new favorite as of 07:28 on Aug 14, 2015 |

Hey dipshit, wake up to the flatmate lifestyle. Lay down the law or get trampled into the loving doormat. Your dishes were in the sink? Well guess they must be on the floor now then did you check there? Your laundry on the couch? Did you check out the loving window where it belongs, you piece of poo poo? Your food, in the fridge? Ate it. #LifeHack

That said I've been using the Victorinox knives I got for culinary school for many years. They're a good point between "good knife" and "cheap enough I'm not that hosed if it gets stolen/ruined by an idiot classmate or housemate".

I throw them back on the burner to dry them and then give them a wipe-down with bacon grease. None of them have warped. Cast iron is just as susceptible to cracking as any other metal, but cast iron skillets and the like tend to be much thicker than normal pans so it's less likely to happen. Running cold water over it probably won't cool it down fast enough to cause the metal to crack, but definitely avoid completely submerging a very hot skillet in very cold water. Also, bacon grease can go rancid if you let it sit for long enough. just use normal canola/vegetable oil after you clean it to prevent your pan from rusting. pienipple posted:Victorinox are good for a stamped blade, but it's still a stamped blade and doesn't hold an edge as well as a forged blade. Fibrox knives hit that sweet spot between initial sharpness and low cost, which makes them great for consumer-level cooks. I only use their boning knives in kitchens, though. chipped the blade on a bone? gently caress it, it cost $15 and I got a year's worth of use out of it. huck it and buy a new one. ditto with bread knives.

I've got a fibrox santoku, bread, paring, and the huge chef's. They are sharp as gently caress and weirdly light. You'll get used to and appreciate the lightness. The edges do wear really easily and you should hone religiously if you don't want them to get all chippy. The paring knife is my least used but fastest worn of the bunch. It may have been abused by roommates though.

Take a tablespoon of bleach and dilute it in a gallon of water. Wipe down your knife with it. Now you don't have to put your knife in the dishwasher (which you shouldn't do anyways. Bad for the handle and the blade.) #knifehax

In the rare case poo poo gets baked on my cast iron skillet (From my grandmother of course), I use steel wool, then reseason it immediately.

Plinkey posted:What? How else do you scrape the poo poo off of a 70 year old cast iron skillet? Boil some water in your gnarly pan for a while, then let it sit until the pan and water is cool enough to handle, but not cold. Drain, pat dry, then scrub it with coarse salt (kosher or rock salt should work) or a sugar cube. You'll still probably have to re-season but you won't scratch off anywhere near as much of the seasoning as you would if you hit it with steel wool.

I cook my food inside the cans it comes out of. The only thing I use my cast iron pan for is a tool for murdering stray dogs. It's the only way to keep the government's tracking devices installed in their fleas from attaching to my retinas so they can stream my visual data to their North Korean supercomputer complex. They know I know they know our secrets and I am the only thing that can stop them, all I need is some more money and some more rope. I always need more rope.
