Food 2: Chew Harder • Page 102

what nonstick frying pan does everyone have and like? I tried a pre seasoned carbon steel pan and truly everything I’ve made cooks so unevenly, but it was cheap so I’m wondering if I just need to invest in a better one?

 

I recently got Misen's new Carbon Nonstick pans, and so far I've been happy with them. They aren't quite as non-stick as like a teflon pan but pretty close and they aren't coated in a toxic material that flakes so supposedly will last forever. We will see how long their durability is.

Otherwise if you want an actual non-stick, then I would just get a cheap one. They all lose their ability after a while and need to be replaced so not really worth spending too much on them. Or depending on what you want to cook with it, a well seasoned cast iron or carbon steel will be extremely non-stick with proper use. I also use stainless as my main go-to for a lot of things because I can toss them in the dishwasher, or I want food to stick slightly to get good browning and/or fond.

 

My girlfriend has a cheap ceramic pan that I think came from target originally. I’ve been cooking on it regularly for a year and have liked it more than any normal nonstick pan I’ve used. Probably my second favorite pan behind my cast iron.

 

I made gluten free dairy free treats for a baby shower today

A lemon blueberry bread that isn't bad but is a lil obviously gluten free to me. It turned out better tasting than it looks. It looks kind of pale on top but I was worried about overbaking since the toothpick came out clean

Then I made banana chocolate chip cookies. It tastes the same as the ones I typically make with dairy and gluten, but the consistency is a lil softer like they didn't quite bake all the way on the bottom

I've never intentionally made a gluten and dairy free thing before so it's interesting but wasn't a failure
