Idk why you're being downvoted, this literally is in violation of the laws of kashrut lol

Also using.metal on teflon coated pot

Banaam@reddit

That's after the mistake of buying it in the first place. I'm a cast iron supremacist.

[-]

Dupps_I_Did_It_Again@reddit

Then you have to run security on it so no one dishwashers it

[-]

RelationshipJaded511@reddit

I have to run security on my cast iron so no one gets lazy and leaves it in the bottom of the sink overnight to rust. Give me the stainless steel any day.

[-]

killingourbraincells@reddit

Fellow stainless steel enjoyer.

Cast iron is nice but I ain't tryna deal with that weight all the time.

[-]

Banaam@reddit

I said a CI supremacist, I have a stainless pot for steaming and boiling.

[-]

Dupps_I_Did_It_Again@reddit

Carbon steel, does everything cast iron does for a fraction of the weight

[-]

Banaam@reddit

No dishwasher in the house, no security needed.

Teflon should be avoided at all costs

Even if you use it properly, you end up eating it over time

Asinine comment. People sharing something funny/silly their spouse did isn't an invitation for you to talk sh*t about them.

[-]

acrylicquartz@reddit

Yeah, people rarely know how to just laugh anymore. It's always nitpicking, bitching, and correcting someone.

Just let the person be an idiot using pan wrong! But no, everyone else has to get their rocks off to holding+displaying superior knowledge. 🫪

[-]

1MechanicalAlligator@reddit

Okay, I gotta say, I respect the gimmick 😂

[-]

Various-Salt-7738@reddit

It's not a great idea but if you're careful you can toss that meat around without scratching the Teflon

Using metal on Teflon is a bad idea but if you know what you're doing you can work around it

[-]

Krusty_Krab_Pussy@reddit

Also Teflon today is more of an issue when you overheat the pan iirc. They stopped using pfoas in 2013

[-]

Elratum@reddit

People keep pans for 25y+, at least until it completely fall appart on them

[-]

I hate to tell you that the ice cream scooper is actually not rated for ice cream and is actually a disher for portioning out sides like mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, ect. Either way, not great for browning ground beef.

[-]

mrpopenfresh@reddit

Rated? Lol

[-]

v6stang07@reddit

Per the manufacturer it is not suited to scoop ice cream or hard dough. I have to deal with this when people return them saying they broke.

[-]

mrpopenfresh@reddit

That’s just a cop out to justify it being a piece of shit

[-]

Ill-Television8690@reddit

If they sell it as an ice cream scoop, yeah, but not if they sell it as a mashed potato scoop, because you objectively don't need super firm metals for that. Why waste the strong stuff when people aren't seeking to purchase it for use with strong things?

[-]

Skreech2011@reddit

Anything is an ice cream scoop if you really want it to be.

[-]

YSR02@reddit

Thats a very unique way of coming out but congratulations I think?

[-]

NormanCocksmell@reddit

By the definition of the word nothing can be very unique. It is either unique or not unique. “Being the only existing one of its type or, more generally, unusual, or special in some way”

[-]

NormanCocksmell@reddit

Sorry for being pathetic by knowing how words work. My bad. I will try to do better next time.

[-]

Ill-Television8690@reddit

Nah, knowing how words work includes knowing what people mean when they use them instead of pretending "everything has one set definition. Don't you think if you actually knew as well as you claim, you'd have respected the fluidity and informality of language (especially here, on social media)?

[-]

prettyhigh_ngl@reddit

By the strictest definition, you're right. By the way people actually use English, you're not.

[-]

ItsOKtoFuckingSwear@reddit

Dude, he was making a fucking joke…

[-]

Alexandur@reddit

English isn't typically that rigid. Definition three here is "very special or notable", which can indeed be a spectrum

[-]

a_shootin_star@reddit

I think that person you replied to is on the spectrum.

[-]

wizardrous@reddit

Ice cream scooper aside, what was her plan in frying up a pan of what appears to be unseasoned clumps of ground beef?

[-]

Upstairs_Bug8279@reddit

I don’t season before rinsing my meat. It would be a waste. I also don’t season my beef like it’s chicken. Beef is an amazing flavor

[-]

Robin_Coffins@reddit

Wait, rinsing? Are we supposed to rinse mince? Like.. in water?

[-]

Upstairs_Bug8279@reddit

lol yes i rinse the fat off the ground beef. Especially if its taco meat i hate when it’s too oily.

[-]

My_bones_are_itchy@reddit

Absolutely fucking not.

[-]

notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit

Before... rinsing?

[-]

jenorama_CA@reddit

I brown first then drain the fat then season. I’ll salt before draining, but that’s all.

[-]

notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit

Do they not have lean ground beef in America? I always hear Americans talk about draining fat out of ground beef.

[-]

-Gadaffi-Duck-@reddit

I'm in the UK, I always drain the fat. Using lean mince can result in very fine mince, most of my customers prefer a chunkier texture. I like 80/20 meat/fat ratio for optimal texture and flavour.

[-]

jenorama_CA@reddit

You don’t want it too lean or else it won’t have a ton of flavor. I usually buy 85% lean and don’t drain all of the fat, but the majority of it. Fat is flavor, after all. I’ve used 90% for meatloaf and it wasn’t all that great.

It’s also glue. Years and years ago, we were having a small gathering for the 4th of July and a friend that worked at a grocery meat counter came. His boss had made him mad that day, so in an act of revenge, he ran some lean sirloin through the grinder and made burger patties out of it. They fell apart and fell right through the grill and onto the coals because they didn’t have any fat to stick them together. If they had stayed together, they would have been super dry.

[-]

notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit

Burgers are another story, but if you're gonna drain the fat anyway it seems like a waste of time to be buying higher fat.

[-]

jenorama_CA@reddit

The key word is excess. You’ll never get all of it.

[-]

notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit

Well, no. Which is why you might as well buy leaner and then just not have to bother with draining ground meat at all.

[-]

undeadlamaar@reddit

So I usually buy 5 lbs of 80% and package it all up into 1/2lb blocks and freeze it. I like to use it for burgers, but if I want it for say spaghetti sauce or something else like that, I'll drain the excess fat. You buy the higher fat content for the things you want to have the higher fat content for and drain when you make other things. If I just buy the lean 90% the burgers won't taste as good.

[-]

MedicalDisscharge@reddit

Why would you season before its all separated?

[-]

GSilky@reddit

Some people have to be different I guess.

[-]

schwah@reddit

Congrats on finally coming out.

[-]

Hatta00@reddit

I get it, that would turn me off women too.

[-]

Lord_Phoenix95@reddit

Yeah, like a regular spoon is understandable but the FUCKING ICE CREAM SCOOP?

[-]

asomebodyelse@reddit

I mean, she probably started out making meatballs.

[-]

automator3000@reddit

Is this the meatball version of how omelets become scrambled eggs?

[-]

asomebodyelse@reddit

Yes, exactly.

Tangentially related

My middle kid was so anxious when they came out. I was confused. I’d been asking how they felt if Mommy had a gf (was dating at the time). They also had a girlfriend I was aware of & liked. Somehow, it hadn’t clicked that I'm cool with wlw.
