Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Obviously, get them what they want… But is your family member up with the play on how to use stainless steel?
For my money, carbon steel is much easier to use because they’re lighter and once you season them they are far more non-stick than stainless even if you heat the latter properly prior to use. Plus you can pick up carbon steel pans from hospitality suppliers (like TFE here in Hawkes Bay) super cheap. Maybe $30-40 a pan, sometimes less.
Downside is they’re pretty ugly in a function over form kinda way.
edit: these are the brand I got: https://tfe.co.nz/product/pujadas-carbon-steel-frypan/
Stainless steel was specifically requested. They lived with a chef for a long time and are now moving out, but they had a favorite pan of their flatmates.
I was sent a photo but told anything will do because I couldn’t find something similar (it looked pretty similar to the scanpan ones on that website you linked - unfortunately I already ordered).
Ah cool, they’ll know what to expect then.
