I haven’t posted anything or really commented but I always upvote!

I should start posting though. It’s practically summer here so maybe I’ll try some melons.

Candied pecans

Yes, they are originally from here.

I would say it’s primarily for people who are interested in growing vegetables.

No Dig by Charles Dowding

A vegetable gardening book emphasizing the merits of no dig growing.

I’d just give it a scrub to remove any rust then apply a light coat of oil and put it in the oven to season.

Or you could try the stove top method for woks.

The food looks great and I’ve been wanting that griddle, or the smaller version, for a while! Looks fun to use.

Do you have to go with an induction stove top? Could you get a ceramic instead?

Yes, bacon first to render the fat and use it to cook the eggs.

I had to scrap off the pan and wipe down before cooking the eggs because this bacon must have some sugar, or something, that was getting stuck to the pan. Since it usually makes the eggs stick too.

Yes, it use the rendered bacon fat to fry the egg and add flavor.

Pineapple juice.

Last summer I experiemented with seasoning my cast iron in direct sunlight.

I would start the seasoning the pan in the oven/stove top for 30 minutes and then place it in direct sunlight.

I usually left the pan in direct sunlight from ~9am to ~5pm.

The pan would be too hot to touch barehanded so I know that it was hot enough to do some polymerization.

From what I read online somewhere, polymerization happens at relatively low heat. We just speed up the process by increasing the heat.

I also read that UV also polymerizes the oil. Which made me think leaving it in direct sunlight would help the process.

I did this for a few days and it worked.

Obviously don’t leave it outside in humid or rainy conditions. Or when it’s very windy. You’ll end up with things landing on your pan.

I also placed the pans in direct sunlight upside(so things would not stick to the inside) down with oil on the interior of the pan to see if it would polymerize without preheating in the oven/stove top. I did this for one day only.

Polymerization did start to happen. The oil became sticky but I estimate it would take 1-2 weeks everyday for the oil to fully polymerize.

I’m going to do it again this year to experiment more.

I figured the sun is free so why not let it do the work.

Edit: I did this on days that were over 90°f.

I believe that’s on Lemmy’s end.

Google is no longer a search engine.

It’s a storefront.

I only see a pen and part of a spiral notebook.

That’s mostly it. There is a sauce, made from stock, mustard and brown sugar that’s added before it goes into the oven.

I didn’t have shallots or the exact pears that they called for, so I used an onion and regular green pears.

I think next time I’ll marinate the pork chops in some apple cider vinegar and a blended pear for at least an hour. The center of the pork was slightly under seasoned.

It was very good! I will definitely make it again.

Bacon and green beans sounds like a good idea too!

Don’t get Yellow Paper Wasps confused with Yellowjackets or Hornets.

They are also not the same thing.
