I haven't seen such a mod pile on since Trolls on ECF!
I just took a trip down memory lane. That was fun! :laugh:
yup... How do I become a mod??? we need to bring back the asterisk too ;)
You need to apply. Funny, I was just talking about the asterisk and how some missed that little feature. ;)

sorry i just dont get the frying pan thing

you can do lots more damage with a cast iron skillet

and it will not bend or break so re-usable again and again

Pssst, I wasn't really gonna use it. ;)

Oh interesting... what are all the various thresholds and various default titles? and how do you customize your own?
I'm not sure what the tiers are. I do know to customize you need to be a Supporting Member. It's one of the perks. :)

I actually consider them all frying pans if they are skillets. Cast iron is great. I used to have a 7" and 10" and used them all the time. My wife has arthritis and they are a bit heavy for her, specially the bigger one so we switched to no-stick pans. After getting tired of them not lasting long I just bought our first 10" SS skillet.

After using the SS pan a few times I have to say it would be my first choice of 'blunt instrument' if I was in the kitchen and needed one. Cast iron is too heavy to be maneuverable and the balance is all wrong to boot.


Now, who has the bacon again or should I head into the kitchen ?? :2cool:

Found it!

Nice thanks. I can't wait to be in the sweet spot right between 260 and 299 posts (inclusive). During that 39 post time, you understand the universe, are one with all-ness, and have the zen and chi to win all ECF contests, giveaways, and respect. Too bad that its just such a short window of opportunity and enlightenment!

I like the convenience of no-stick pans but I don't like the short lifespan of Teflon. I read up on ceramic coatings and they don't seem to last any longer.

Then again, working with a SS fry pan can be a challenge, but I've only used it a few times so far and am still learning. Solid meats like beef, pork and things like bacon are easy, scrambled eggs require low heat and longer cooking times but work out OK.

I have one fried egg dish I make that involves frying cheese on the surface of the pan under the eggs and I have not been able to make that work at all so far. Fish is also tricky if you want to brown it a bit on the surface. The good thing is SS cleans up really easy even if it has a good layer of burnt on food stuck to it :thumb:

Going to hang in for a while and try different things. If I find I just can't make some recipes I like I might buy a ceramic pan just for them and see how that goes. Until then I'll continue to enjoy the challenge of SS frying everything :)
