Twinkies are America's contribution to baking. Are they art?

baking was already a thing...but the twinkie is just one form of that thing. I'd say the comparable would be: unnatural, highly-preserved, immortal packaged baked confections would be the true American contribution that includes the Twinkie.

...and yes, that is true art.

I don't know what I'd do if I found my vintage cast iron in the dishwasher. Probably something horrible.

It's really not the worst thing that can happen. Just scour it down with tons of salt and water, go through re-seasoning process.

You can certainly restore a hundreds+ year old completely rusted-through cast iron pan, so no reason a run through a dishwasher would do irrecoverable damage. ...pain in the ass, sure, but whatever.

For a new Lodge, sure. For a 112 year old egg pan that's been worn pretty thin, already racked up some neglect before I was born? I'd be worried about pitting leading to structural integrity issues, not just losing the obsidian like surface I've carefully nurtured with flaxseed oil for years.

I've been low on time and used oven cleaner before, but I prefer the battery charger and sodium carbonate method. Lets me do science with the kids, helps me instill a sense of pride and value in kitchen tools, which in turn leads to those tools being used and cared for properly. That's my hope anyway.

So how do your farts smell? I mean, I'm just assuming you sniff your own farts because that might be the most "I only eat perfectly prepared gourmet food for all meals, I'd never eat that trash they call food at 3 star restaurants, I've never eaten fast food in my entire life its so disgusting" type of self-fart-sniffing talk I think I've ever seen on here. Second question, do you fart into a wine glass and swirl it around to "aerate" before sniffing them?

Wow.

I don't even know where to begin. Is taking care of antique, highly sought after items with sentimental value that alien to you? We weren't even talking about food. You may have a fixation here you should address.

Did someone beat you with a cast iron pan when you were little? Need to show us on the doll? I won't ask about the fart focus, my interest in your little episode here doesn't go that far.

Not to mention that a carefully taken care of cast iron skillet is one of like, two kitchen utensils you need (alongside a good knife).

I use mine daily (or more). I use my skillet more often than my car. I clean my skillet more often than I shower.

Heh. Darkswordsman17 should be along shortly to quiz you on your body odor now. We probably shouldn't bring knives into this, he might start questioning your choice in toilet paper or something. I'm not going to hold it against him, I see the timestamp of his post and think it may be indicative of 'after hours relaxing.'

Absolutely right though, taking proper care of the essentials is no vice. I've done camping trips with 1 blade, 1 skillet, and one mixing/prep bowl. Ok and a cooler, but that doesn't count(?)
