Carbon steel. You should be able to find one in a Chinatown. Easy to season.

How do you season it? I tried to season a carbon steel pan (a de buyer clone) and that did not work. Looking at the carbon steel subreddit like, half the posts are people asking why their seasoning didn't work.

Jabroni...

Its as easy as washing whatever the factory put on the pan, burning oil in it, drying it up with a rag, then cooking with it...

Which of those steps confused you ?

The part where I do all those things and my food still sticks.

Food will stick for a while for sure, after a few weeks of use though, its gonna be perfecto. Also do you make sure the pan is pre-heated ? I hope so.

Make sure you don't scrub it with anything too tough too, because youll be taking off the oil from the pan.

Maybe you left on a bit too much oil too.

Yes. However, I'm a stainless steel ubermensch from now on. Except for perhaps woks.

I got a decent thin cast iron wok from Superstore/Loblaws that worked well but was heavy.

Generally easy to season though, and cooking at high heat helps with the non stick factor.

There's a good asian market here that sells the real McCoy so I think I'll pick one up.

Best approach.

Gotta say that a good stainless pan is just as good to cook with and tou obviously need one too.

Look for the roundest bottom possible for a work

I just did my mid-cut 3-site body fat measurement, and here are the results.

This morning I weighed in at 91.7kg (down from 94.1), My body fat percentage is down from 22% to 17.72%. My lean body mass is up from 74.4kg to 75.4kg.

Sounds good though I don’t understand the communist measurement system

Kilograms are best measurement systems for make represent glorious mass of proletariat!

Excellent new study that further shows us what we already know: The more plant based foods you eat instead of animal based foods, the less likely you are to die.

Everyone has a likeliness of dying of 100% without failure

Obviously, but every day you wake up is a day you can either die or not die.

Yes, but 230 lbs is 104 kgs

 

[Mrb1p]

Yes, but 230 lbs is 104 kgs

But 230 is more convenient than 104!

When I get to 242 ill move over to 110 kg.

From the article itself:

Higher adherence to a healthy plant‐based diet index was associated with a 19% and 11% lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality and all‐cause mortality, respectively, but not incident cardiovascular disease (P<0.05 for trend). No associations were observed between the less healthy plant‐based diet index and the outcomes.

News Flash: Eating healthy reduces health problems!

Note that they didn't include any data for a healthy non-plant based diet.

Conclusions

Diets higher in plant foods and lower in animal foods were associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a general population.

Having a plant-based diet can be healthy, we agree. I don't think anybody here disagrees.

The fact that the unhealthy plant diet shows no association over the outcome compared to the general population shows it's not just about eating less meat.

I wish they included people which have a regular consumption of meat but otherwise eat healthier than the general population. Then your point would have more strength.

Yeah, but then they wouldn't get the result that they wanted.
