Cast iron is great but for some reason I find I gravitate towards my carbon steel skillet more. It may be because the carbon steel pan is smoother and a little lighter in weight. It also heats faster but still has great heat retention.

I dunno man, I have 2 that we’re my great grandmother’s so seems more like BIFM(multiple)Lives :)

Yeah bud, like I said - they're not for everyone.

I'm not American though, and it shouldn't bother me that you've made that assumption - but it does. So, ahem. G'day I cook with cast iron and think it's the tits, it cooks the quickest sanga you ever wrapped your laughing gear around, yeah nah bro something something cv^t.

I used to be a believer of having one nonstick pan for eggs until I got this de Buyer carbon steel crepe pan. The smooth rivets are a nice bonus. Despite the low sides, I can cook up to 6 scrambled eggs in it with no sticking (I have the 9.5" one). It is surprisingly versatile, and I've used it for other things like pancakes, crepes, quesadillas, grilled cheese, toasting walnuts and pecans. Followed the America's Test Kitchen potato skin and salt seasoning method and it has been just as slick as the nonstick pans I used to use, but I expect this pan to last a lifetime and more.

Yeah it's strange, you'd think people would be able to understand something as simple as "toys are for fun, not kids"

Because that's really what toys are, a source of enjoyment, passion, and even artist expression depending on what you do with them, they aren't for kids, they are for whoever wants to play with them.

ahh memories of the early 1960s....

It needs the most love for sure, but it's nothing I can't handle, I'm pretty capable at fixing things.

I'll make it seem almost like new soon enough.

I don't get why this is seen as weird by some people. I'm 17 and I collect Hotwheels. I get weird looks from people when I'm looking at them in stores.

What's the problem? Who gives a shit.

I’m going to say no. I have a handful and 2 of them I opened the zipper part too far and it tore them. I do like them for storing small items but not so much for food items.

Yeah I still play with toys, normally rc toys but I enjoy playing with regular big trucks too.

I'm 17.

The bull dozer has seen some shit

Ive made a post about it a few weeks ago.

Pyrex has alternate lids available sometimes that are I think silicon and glass. GAMECHANGER.

They’re way more durable, don’t warp or break, and they actually make the container not jean in my bag. They’re not available on their website right now so I don’t know what the deal with them is, but a Pyrex with one of those is damn near perfect

I have a set of rectangular nesting Pyrex with lids 20 years old. The lids disintegrated and I got replacements on Amazon.

Whatever you already bought that’s the appropriate size.

Forget darn tough, you have to send them back to get them warranted and they make you pay for shipping. Check out cloudline socks. Lifetime warranty and they don’t make you send your old pair back. All you need is your order number and tell them what happened. Here is 25% off if you wanna give them a try. http://rwrd.io/ec57f7y

I've had mine for a couple years now and they're as good as day one. They're pricey, but better than any other silicone bag I've tried out and we no longer use any disposable bags at all. We use them in tandem with glass freezer jars and they also work for SousVide cooking.

They clean perfectly in the dishwasher.

Right? How else are they supposed to deliver their hand drawn memes? By hand?

Or Staub!

I think they are worth it but I still try to find them on sale. The feel and quality seem better than other brands that I've tried and they wash and dry wonderfully in the dishwasher.

Great for when you don't want the heavy weight of glass for things like fruit or chips.

I wouldn't recommend cooking tomatoes in cast iron. It really isn't a great combo, and also can mess with the flavor of your dish. Also, don't cook them in aluminum.

I wash my cast iron with hot water and soap regularly; after every time I use it. However, I do it quickly. It doesn't take the seasoning off, but my pan is probably seasoned quite well. It's incredibly non-stick. Fresh potatoes for home fries do not stick. That's generally a pretty good test. Techniques also play a part, but my cast iron is almost as non-stick as my actual non-stick pans.

Pyrex is the generic answer,but the lids wear out over time
