Yeah, I don't see the issue as long as there's enough butter. I'm fine with mayo too but in a cast iron I'd go heavy with the butter and it'd be fine.

And Huskies are hard to give pills to. You really just have to be an rear end in a top hat and shove down their throat.

Ted and Black Books are amazing and the IT Crowd has some good bits, but glinner's contribution to them is severely overstated: he's good at creating a part that fits a specific comedian, but most of the really memorable stuff from Father Ted and Black Books comes from said comedians ad-libbing and growing into the characters themselves.

I will bite in the sense that I hope everyone who uses a cast iron knows you can scrape any stuck poo poo off with like a chisel if softer methods don't work. Try a spatula first.

Whoops, it's a mixing bowl.


When you make fettuccine alfredo from scratch, you need to pour the hot noodles into a mixing bowl containing the butter, cream, and parmesan cheese.

I took the noodles off the burner, turned the gas off, and then went over to the sink to drain them. I then went back to the mixing bowl, which I moved, without thinking,to the still hot burner because I didn't want to pour the noodles over the kitchen island, or something. The base of the mixing bowl melted into the metal thing that goes above a gas burner.

Could be worse, years ago I was making mac & cheese on a gas stove, I had just pulled the macaroni off to drain & was about to start the cheese. Noticed a couple noodles fell under the metal grate/cover on the gas burner & like a loving idiot, grabbed it with my bare hand to lift it up & get the noodles. Yeah, that one hurt like hell & left 3 of the fingers on my hand blistered, it was a nightmare.

As opposed to wiping down teflon with a wet paper towel. The whole point of grilled cheese is that it's quick and painless.

Also worth pointing out that for Father Ted, his co-writer was Arthur Mathews* and Black Books it was Dylan Moran, whilst he was the sole writer for The IT Crowd and I think it's clear that these guys added the real magic to those shows.

quote:

Mathews has contributed to many sketch shows, including Harry Enfield and Chums, The All New Alexei Sayle Show and the Ted & Ralph segments of The Fast Show. However, it was with Father Ted (three series, 1995–1998) that he and Graham Linehan made their biggest impression. It debuted on Channel 4.[1][2][3] The writing partnership had previously co-written the comedy Paris[4] (one series, 1994), also for Channel 4. Both Linehan and Mathews worked on the first series of sketch show Big Train, but Linehan dropped out for the second series. Mathews has also contributed to other British comedies such as Brass Eye, Jam, Black Books and later Toast of London. H

I make my grilled cheese on aluminum foil on top of my car's engine. Like a man.
E: And before all you bitch about it I only use aluminum foil because my old lady was around. Best not to get her angry. Ifn I had my choice it'd be directly on the block. The grease gives it a smokey barbecue flavor.

Fair enough. I wasn’t actually telling you to gently caress off, I thought it was funny. I was just wondering why the one guy got told Don’t for making fun of Lowtax when it’s all anybody has been doing in every thread.

Edit: and if you saying “roll with the punches” wasn’t a lowtax related quip, then I rescind what I said about it being funny. That’s what made it funny. Dunno why that makes me a dumbass. Maybe work out your anger elsewhere.

I saw this advertisement on TV about a pan made out of ceramic or something and even baked on cheese just slides right off. We should all buy one of those. And we should all buy Pizzazs as well.

The slapchop is actually pretty flimsy and disappointing. The magic bullet is okay, but not really better or any different than most other blenders. Cleaning it sucks about equally.

I think there's a difference between making fun of a domestic abuser and making fun of domestic abuse.

It's the same thing, it's just a silica based nonstick agent instead of a carbon based one. "Ceramic" nonsticks have been around for a while, they're maybe a little more durable than traditional nonsticks in exchange for being slightly less non-sticky. The ones advertised on TV are the absolute worst though.

This is a stupid discussion. Both cast iron and nonstick pans are great.

Get yourself some cheapass T-Fal nonstick pans. Purchase some Lodge cast iron pans. Purchase a chain mail cleaner. Season the gently caress out of the cast iron with a high smokepoint oil (someone on the Internet did a "experiment to the point of absurdity" on seasoning oils, go find that). Proceed to cook anything you like in either, excepting tomatoes in the cast iron and real high-heat stuff (or oven-baked) in the nonstick. Eat the food, rejoice that you live in the modern age where you can have raw food delivered and cook it easily. Clean the cast iron with the chain mail under hot water (a minute tops), the T-Fal with soap/hot water/brush or just a paper towel if you insist. Now you can get back to shitposting about Logan's Run.

The end.

If you're accusing someone of making fun of domestic abuse you should be aware that a lot of people don't like that. I will say that the current everything situation has everybody on edge though

Le creuset is covered in an enamel, you don't need to worry about seasoning it because the enamel is already acting as a protective coating. Cast iron doesn't distribute heat quickly and evenly, but it does retain heady extremely well so when you throw your cold food in, the temperature of the pan doesn't plummet and then need to come back up.

I grabbed a ceramic non-stick cheap-as-poo poo possibly-from-TV pan at Walmart when my last non-stick went M.I.A. It worked well for a while but you get what you pay for. Which was a great pan for two weeks and probably complicated rare cancers in 30 years when the new chemical intermediaries turn out to be deadly.

A range of the cast iron pans are just enamelled on the outside. Only my casseroles are enamelled all over.
