Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fucking teflon lobbying wins wtf
Stoneware ftw. Couldn't pay me to go back to Teflon.
Cast iron FTW. Seasoning makes it non-stick, and it's so much easier to clean compared to other cookware, not to mention it holds a fuckton of heat to give everything a nice sear, and I can put it in the oven.
I've never used stone pans, though, so IDK how they compare.
Ah, yep. All my camping gear is cast iron (except the compact stuff for hiking/light camps.
Honestly, the most satisfying part is reseasoning. "Yeeeeah. Get in there you deliciousness. So long as we got each other, you don't ever have to worry about rust. Now let me shove this lamb shank in you and drop hot coals on your lid. I'll see you in three hours for cleanup and some more oiling."
Do tell. Stoneware as a brand name, or material?
Granite and ceramics. Can't go back. Cook an omelette in a stone pan and your mind will be blown . Super even heat, obviously very tough (yeeeeeears of life), and that egg will slide onto your plate without leaving a trace. Teflon and steel feels like those things humans do where we invent something despite the real solution having always been there all along.
I'm more of an enameled cast iron enjoyer myself
I own some enameled iron but find it's only good for things like spaghetti sauce that attack exposed iron, and deglaze stuck material on their own.
Otherwise everything sticks to it terribly compared to regular seasoned iron.
Do you have a trick to avoid this? I've tried all manner of oils as well as lethecin spray, nothing seems to work for me.
Not really, it is quite terribly sticky. But it will outlast you, and heats up more or less uniformly. Also it's great for stuff that is better served warm because you can make a huge pot of it and the thermal inertia of the pot will keep it warm for a while
Also idk if you know this already, but I found that usually, heating some water in it for a while (a good 30 mins, you don't need to bring the water to a boil either), will help a fair bit with the cleanup of some sticky residues.
