  6. I use one of those 3M green abrasive things on my steel pans after every session to scrape off excess "seasoning". Keeps it slick

    DARTO pans

    A spanish tortilla is more like a fritata. Layered potatoes and egg mostly. Jose Andres famously makes one with hydrated potato chips.

    Dinner 2018

    I chill/dry them by sitting on a plate in the fridge. I get a great sear if I fry them in butter. Probably some milk protein in the sear...but they look good and aren't overdone

    Ramps: The Topic

    My ramps are done with the arrival of hot weather.
  18. It needs to be food grade and rich in triglycerides (from which come the fatty acids)...so from plants or animals not petroleum.
  19. For a baseball glove?
  20. I have used Pam to put a thin layer on my Matfer for seasoning. Five cycles...non stick. This discussion reminds me of me of all the hocus pocus regarding oiling baseball gloves when I was a kid. Neatsfoot oil was the thing. From the shins of left-handed she-calves if memory serves. Sold at the sporting goods store in small cans with a dropper top. Worked-in nightly , then the glove was shoved under the mattress with a hard ball in the pocket every night to "set" the pocket. Done reverently. Haven't thought about this in half a century. Lol.

    Pasta Inserts

    I boil pasta in a small volume of salted water. Its faster and safer...no lugging a big pot of scalding water to t he sink. It cooks as fast and as well as the slow-to-boil and dangerous big pot and makes a more concentrated starch soln for thickening sauces. I either pour it into a strainer or fish it out with tongs.
  22. I just season right over the old imperfect finish. @Porthos has talked about massive refinishes for hideous pans, but this ain't that.
  23. I agree. Or doing a batch of fried chicken.
