Extra virgin olive oil is perfectly fine to fry in, unless you're seeing black smoke, you're not hitting the smoke point.

As a general rule of thumb, anyone who says you need to baby the pan and that the seasoning is "delicate", is wrong. If it can't stand up to ordinary dish soap and even a bit of salt scrubbing to get out burnt bits, it is not

Woks are typically made from carbon steel, not stainless steel.

Dish soap is not dishwasher detergent. Please don't put your pans in the dishwasher, not matter what they're made of.

The wisps you see from olive oil on a frying pan is steam, unless of course the pan is crazy 10/10 hot, at which point any cooking oil will burn. I fry most things in either extra virgin olive oil or butter. The olive oil stands up t

There's a whole nonsense mythology that has been built up about how to treat cast iron (and carbon steel). I think one of the biggest reasons is that people want an easy shortcut, when in reality the best thing to do is simply to use t

Been there, tried that. It's based on faulty observations and conclusions, and results in a fragile seasoning that flakes off easily. Matfer Bourgeat and De Buyer both recommend frying up a batch of potato peels in plenty of oil and to

Then you haven't had the stuff that really crawls into your nose and sinuses. It's a diffent kind of hot to chili spicyness, but the burn is absolutely there. Or is this some kind of "nothing is too spicy for me" one-upm

We did have had horseradish and mustard, so not completely devoid of spicyness, but certainly not as pervasive as today.

And is much harder to govern, the biggest reasons being the harsh geography and climate, and how thinly the population is spread outside of western Russia.

The influence of private corporations are the reason why NASA was stripped of funding, because of lobbyism and having politicians in their pockets. It's the same old game, lobby for politicians to reduce funding to public agencies an

by KozmoNau7 5y ago
The entire reason NASA was down-prioritized and had finding stripped is because of wealthy private interests, who wanted that pie to go to them for profit, rather than to a public agency. And because the US only cares to do anything if ther

He's really trying hard to cast billionaire space hops as something with the same scientific and societal impact as the space race. But what he and Branson are doing has none of that R&D that defined the space age, where innovation

It would be horrendously hot, so maybe only use it as a winter coat.

Every single time I express the opinion that these global scale criminals be brought to justice, this happens. Cue the trolls with hot takes. Either they're ignorant or they're too invested in the current fossil fuel status quo, a

Absolutely on the nose and a fair assessment. Fossil fuel executives are criminals, their crimes are global in scope, affecting the entirety of the biosphere. Unfortunately our legal systems are woefully unprepared for crimes of this magnit

Only if you insist on microscopically looking at every single individual action, rather than the collective actions taken by society and corporations. And some individuals have an extremely outsized effect on climate change a pollution, nam

Shaming individuals for the crimes of an entire society and corporations, is so disingenuous and lazy, but it pops up in every single discussion on this subject.

Plenty of 4channers read HN, and of course they'd mass flag a story putting them in a bad light.

What choice do we have, realistically? How would you even opt out? Everything carries a fossil fuel burden with it, the change cannot come from individuals.

by KozmoNau7 5y ago
Do we actually have a choice, a realistic way to opt out? Not to mention the massive advertising and marketing machine manipulating us for centuries into desiring the products of the oil and gas industry.

Consumer demand ceased to be primarily based on natural demand a long time ago. Pervasive marketing and advertising have successfully manufactured demand, by manipulation and creating a consumer fear of missing out on the latest and greates

I will accept my less than a millionth of a percent of guilt, if all the fossil fuel companies fully accept their enormous guilt past, present and future, and actually do something to end their pollution and destruction of the environment

What's the alternative, what choice do we have, realistically? I ride my bicycle or walk for as many trips as possible, and take public transit. I don't own a car, instead I rent one when I absolutely have to. I buy/use as li

Society's past acceptance or ignorance of crimes does not absolve the gross polluters of responsibility for current and future crimes.

For those rare cases, it really isn't a problem to look at my work calendar on the work PC and my personal calendar on my phone and do a quick comparison. In general, if I have a personal appointment, I'm not going to forget about

Be default, my work calendar is strictly work and my personal calendar is strictly personal. I only duplicate personal events to my work calendar if they overlap with my work hours. Everything outside of work hours goes in my personal calen
