I can't drive a stick shift, but maybe I'll learn to sometime. I just think it's more of a man thing, TBH.

I also started using parchment paper a few months back because I got on a kick where I was having stuff from the freezer on a daily basis and using foil that much didn't sit well with me. I can get about three uses out of the same piece of parchment and that's totally worth not using foil. Unless I need to bake something covered like a casserole or something.

I believe it was you who mentioned to me a long time ago that aluminum foil is a bad idea and parchment is better...
Maybe I'm misremembering. Somebody did, I know that, just not sure who. Gotta tell you... The first few times I used parchment in place of foil, I knew my life had changed for the better, forever. I avoided it for a long time because I didn't understand the difference between parchment and wax paper. Obviously wax paper melts... parchment doesn't, and it's such a better material for cooking on. I love the way the paper browns, and the food crisps up on a whole other level, you'd never get that finish with foil.

Just landed some pretty sweet cast iron too...
I may give updates about how that goes, as a new cast iron user... Apparently it takes like 30 meals to build up the initial seasoning, even with pre-seasoned pieces. It's a huge process, but the whole idea is that the cookware lasts a lifetime. I feel like I will intuitively develop my own personal cast iron process, but I could be wrong. We'll see how it goes. I cook often enough (daily obviously) for the base to form pretty quickly, and once that's done, it should be solid for years to come. I've done A LOT of research about it and the general consensus is that you should season your cast iron in the oven twice yearly. But I read something lastnight that made a lot of sense to me... Basically the guy said that regularly cooking with it IS seasoning it. If you clean it properly (NO soap and minimal water, in fact it's best to just deglaze the pan while it's still hot as soon as you're done cooking, not to mention you can pour it on the food for extra flavor), then clean stuck on bits with salt if needed, put it back on the burner and heat it up, coat it lightly with oil, and put it back on the burner again til it just barely smokes, dab off excess oil, and then it's ready to store... Apparently if you follow those basic steps and cook with it regularly (like daily or at least a few times per week) the seasoning straight up takes care of itself. No use of metal utensils is permitted on cast iron, really wood is the only thing you should be using. I dunno, it all makes sense to me.
It was probably me.
Im misremembering to. Umm sorry.
It probably was and ummm sorry.

I didn't listen to the advice at that point, but such is the nature of ignorance.

That's the thing though... you say shit to try and help people, it sticks in their brain, and eventually when they find the right way to do shit, they look back on what you said and retroactively appreciate it.
Then faces poor fuax which not comes with filth.
