Aren’t you the one who knows cool animal facts?

I might have to try this next time. Might just stick to the King Arthur Flour ratios I like to use, but no oil. Trick is probably not to overmix.

Of course the only reply to this is a “srs leftist” who immediately proclaims you an enemy for shit you didn’t say

We can’t have leftist unity because the right has never run short on useful idiots

No oil in your batter? I wanna know more. Doesn’t that make the pancakes too chewy?

A stainless or carbon steel pan will take to the cold oil method first time. Cast iron will depend on the quality; some come preseasoned, but the quality of that varies a lot too.

I got my first nice CI skillet about five years ago and daily driving it. I talk a good game about steel pans but I just don’t enjoy them as much. You build their seasoning, it works perfectly once, then it’s gone. There’s no relationship, no satisfaction in getting a fried egg to slide freely about the pan.

Sometimes I forget others haven’t accepted tea towels into their heart. I’ve got a dozen or more cloth towels around the house for mopping up. It all comes out in the wash. Cotton ones won’t burn readily, so they’ll dry out a hot oily pan no problem.

Paper towels work fine. Just make sure they’re pure paper and not mixed with synthetics or weird scents or whatever.

It’s an emulsion, butter is basically cheat codes

Hell yeah buddy

I want to shun you but it seems like you’re struggling enough 😑

It’s the simplest thing in the world with a stainless pan. Bring up the heat, add in some oil, wait for it to smoke, wipe it out with a cloth, in with cold oil, add in your food. It won’t stick.

Maybe? I’ve never touched one and I’m not rich or idle enough to buy into an entirely new paradigm. My desk is the size of a coffin as well, so I’ve got to fill it up with something. Might as well be a huge keyboard that sounds like a box of staplers falling down the stairs.

My experience is like a mirror opposite; nearly all mechanical keyboards are less than 100%, and my productivity would nosedive if I had to hunt and peck numbers.

You might not be wrong overall, but I thought it was funny that my anecdote is fully the opposite.

The US is, what, 40% farmland and another 13% wilderness. Add to that the 13th amendment and the most imprisoned populace per capita?

The US is absolutely an agrarian slave economy.

It doesn’t matter, you send multiple body doubles who are playing coy and could actually be the real one. Schroedinger’s autocrat.

A ritual excommunication? I wish we had a transcript. Were you abjured?

Real sus to casually pretend not to know what feet are when you want em that bad. Arielle was a freak

That’s n-

You know yeah okay yes, good point

We are outnumbered, as usual.

A 30cm offset serrated bread knife? At least the base is vaguely flared.
