Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I hate to see NFL owners cry about Jerry Jones, the greatest marketing genius the NFL has ever had.

Take a walk down Cherry St or a stroll through Vestal.

Tour the industrial area of E Knox!

You've never used one regularly or have never had a good one. Best pan I own. Buy one and I'll gladly season it for you for free.

Qualities:

Heat retention
Non-stick, but safe
Oven safe at temps most pans would be leaching chemicals into food.
Durable (mine is maybe 60+ years old)
Low cost

Thought the same thing. We use our cast iron pan a ton. It was my husband’s grandmother’s pan and we got it when she passed. It’s a huge pan- like a Dutch oven. Cooks evenly and is so perfectly seasoned it’s a non-stick pan now without the chemicals. It’s probably at least 70 years old now, and was a highly coveted item.
Weird to say about an appliance, but it’s one of the things his whole family remembers from childhood about her cooking up all kinds of things.
Cooks so evenly, as much as my expensive Le Creuset, and so heavy it could easily be a weapon, too, in a pinch.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

no, he's just wrong. a lot.

difference is, I dont pretend to know anything...check my stats.

He was right a lot too. His problem is he is very optimistic and never seemed to realize that some kids, their families or handlers would lie to your face to maximize what they could get from as many suckers as they could under the old big booster bagman system.

Will always love a good cast iron for camping, but will never understand folks using them regularly at home either. Not the best and not the lightest. Just the sturdiest, if well kept, making them great for daytrip outdoors shenanigans. Obviously not backpacking with one either.

It depends on what you’re cooking. I wouldn’t even try to make cornbread in anything else but you are not going to be able to do a lot of tosses with cast iron.

Great to hear!! Cast iron is the only way I cook now.

I have learned how to take old Iron’s and refurbish and re-season.

September 13, 1969
On Saturday morning, September 13, 1969, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! premiered. Fraidy dog Scooby-Doo (or Scoobert, his formal name) was joined by a team of four teenagers: confident leader Fred, accident-prone Daphne, bookish Velma, and hungry-hungry slacker Shaggy. The five crime-solvers formed the team of Mystery, Inc. Visiting haunted houses, ghost towns, and abandoned amusement parks, the teens investigated sightings of witches, ghosts, and even monsters. Invariably, the "monster" would turn out to be a greedy human in disguise, trying to scare away people for his own profit. Of course, the villain would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for those "meddling kids"!

Only wrong answers...



Snort coke off the sunsphere and drink mimosas at market square.

Which one you was this guy?

 

[Orangeburst]

There's a half dozen ways to do it. No one way is more correct than another. I used to use salt but found that if your pan is seasoned properly you aren't going to "heavily soil" it. Stuff shouldn't be sticking, but if it does a good plastic or silicone scraper will get it without scratching the non-stick coating (salt is abrasive enough to scratch - which can then cause more sticking).

As far as the seasoning, it's chemistry - heat a very thin layer of oil/fat (long chain of carbons) to its smoke point and it will form a polymer sheet and bind to the metal, turn black, and form a nonstick coating in the process. Basically doesn't matter if its vegetable oil or shortening as long as it's smoke point is high enough for the carbonization process to occur.

I have my Great Grandmother's 130 year-old National frying pan. It is more non-stick than non-stick and I would not trade it for anything. People who don't like cast have pans that are not done right, cast is washed with a paper towel.

My grandad, dad, were both Chevy guys and me too.
The young girl I fell in love with(and married 47years ago in October) her family was all Ford. One day I asked my future father in law why, he said “Fords were easier to turn over with a hand crank”
I took the L

I made the mistake of buying 2 new Fords, a car in the 80s and a minivan in 2001...and I swore I would never touch one of those sorry piles of runny again.

Both were absolute lemons that fell completely apart in less than 3 years...just problem after problem after problem.

I am a Toyota guy now.

Such an cringy ass.

Reminds me so much of those nerdy dads at games that were never good at sports or played but their child does and they talk s**t to you through their child’s talent and success hiding behind it like they got it from them genetically…..

”like yeaaaa bud what’s little jimmys batting average?..he couldn’t even catch a pop fly with the Milwaukee brewers mitt logo if it were real..meanwhile (Nerdy dad’s second response) ole yaa well my Johnny “3 base 1 plate” bench over here is an 8th grader being scouted by the damn New York YANKEES…BY GOD were going to the leagues baby! GO STATE!

Me and my wife own three. All are slightly different sizes. They have been in my family for at least 70 years and they will be passed down to my son's family at some point. The three main things we use them for are cornbread, beef stew, and fried corn from the garden cooked up with some bacon grease.

Well, well mister All American driving a Japanese product. It's okay though all individuals like different manufacturers of automobiles. I've driven Ford's all my life and NEVER have had an issue with them. Maybe I'm the lucky one.

I used to love messing with my mom about washing her pan with dishwashing soap, . Good way to get the heck beat out of ya.

I specifically recollect playing pool, and this guy
came up to me and said 'this is a Pike bar.'

And that we weren't welcome. Not sure who sent him on that errand, or what the motivation was there. Or if he was expecting rest of Wheelie and Chopper Bunch to have his back. His buddies were too busy chasing the one girl in the bar.

But, just went on about our game.

I was a Mopar man for forty years. My son convinced me to trade my 1986 D100 for a Tacoma. Best truck ever.
