#second hand pan

[balkanradfem]

Okay, so, I need some advice. I asked the plant lady if she can find me a good old pan on the haggler’s market, because they’re selling second-hand goods, and I’m awful at haggling, and she’s great at it. She told me she already has a pan that fits my requirements (kinda?), and she got it for cheap, and she doesn’t need it, and I could get it for free if I could use it.

Now, what I wanted was an old, indestructible pan that would last me forever, that was made out of some metal that cannot be scratched or destroyed via cooking. What she got me was a pan, that is fairly big and heavy, but it has a layer of teflon on it, that is scratched off in the middle. Now, she told me she didn’t realize it was a teflon pan when she bought it, and that it’s okay because the teflon layer can just be scratched off, and whatever metal is under it, can be used for cooking. As a test of ‘whether it’s safe’, she said one just needs to press a magnet to the pan, if it’s non-magnetic, it’s safe to use. We check it, and it’s not magnetic. She claims it’s safe! (She’s generally very unconcerned with poisoning and will eat poisonous stuff on purpose, so I’m not feeling extremely secure here.)

So I come home, worried and fascinated, and here’s what we’re working with:

Now the layer of teflon is extremely easy to scratch off, it can be scratched off by fingernails, it’s all but falling off. But, the layer underneath could be absolutely anything, it can be a mix of two different substances, and some of it might not be safe to make food on. I don’t know how to check!

I google it, and I get the same answer: test using a magnet, but the internet says, if it’s non-magnetic, it means it’s not made out of iron. That means it could be containing nickel, and nickel is not food safe. So it’s pretty much the opposite of what I’ve been told by the plant lady.

I did also find a million articles about how teflon is poisonous, but it really can be scratched off completely. Now, is there any way to check what is that metal underneath and whether it’s food safe? It’s fairly heavy, non-magnetic. I checked all of the other pots and pans for magnetic activity, and found that even if they’re not magnetic on the sides, there’s some metal at the bottom. So I have not learned that much.

Did anyone have experience in scratching off teflon from a pan and then using it, and whether that is safe? I do dislike how it has two handles instead of one long handle, which would be more useful when stir-frying stuff in a pan. But I feel like I could make a long handle myself, if the pan is usable.

I don’t want to throw it away, so I figured, if it’s not usable for cooking, I could use it as a sink-replacement, when I’m out there in nature, I could keep it filled with water and wash my face in it. I could also, make a little bird-bath from it. I could bury it in my yard and fill it with rocks and sand and put some water in, to create a little pond for frogs! (Though I’m a little worried about whether that’s safe, if rainwater isn’t drinkable anymore, the pond would be catching the rain. Are the rivers safe? Rain falls into the rivers.)

If you have any alternative ideas about what a pan like this can be used for, please share it here! I accept all suggestions.

Another fun Peter Pan Goes Wrong moment from the other night. After Annie was electrocuted, they took her fairy wings off to give her breathing room and to get a better look at her. But when they took them off they handed the wings to Francis who handed them off to the next person. The next person being a man in the front row. The guy in the audience just kinda held them for a minute before Francis took them back. But the poor guy in the audience just did not know what to do with the wings

Can’t get “Steph and Jace are roommates that work odd jobs together to make ends meet but the jobs keep end up being fronts for gangs and mafias where no matter how hard the try to live normal lives they can’t escape trouble” no capes AU

I have no idea what this AU truly entails besides the fact that they’re roommates, both of them are premed students so they work the late night shifts together, and both of them are super Fuckin trans trying really hard to live normal lives but they keep getting dragged into craziness

potholder slipped as I was taking cookies out of the oven and the full weight of the heavy duty pan was against my thumb until I set the pan down on the stove. been putting it under cool water for like 20 minutes now and I can officially say this is worse than jalapeño hands.

cooking is fun and all until you experience the horrors

Some older concept doodles to promote my ask blog, @cupheart-land-of-aviie. By older I mean legitimately before the blog came out lol. These dynamics might be featured more as the story continues, particularly fond of the last drawing.

by the way the reason I'm not reblogging the sneak peeks or talking about them is that I'm the bravest little girl in all the lands and I'm avoiding them for once in my life

More Random War of Y Thoughts

The boys are back! No real thoughts. Just them. And whatever face P is making here.

I did not enjoy the people watching this live for the most part because they kept insulting Dew and P. But whoever commented on the turtle necks is so right. Turtle necks and heavy looking coats and hoodies and it's probably 90 degrees outside. Maybe the AC is cold.

He's going to bathe his stuffed animal???????????? No one comments, but I think Earth and Achi were giving some questioning looks there.

Ahh so Most also got the nod. Remember when Most and Peek were at the bottom in the first ranking. Wait, did they have a second ranking? Or did they just award winners for games after that?

I would watch a show with these two.

I would watch a show with these two.

Oh, nooooo! Achi!!!! On the last day! I feel bad for saying this, but that punch was pretty satisfying. Sorry, Peek! Also. Achi is a porn star?

Pond is so shady. Planning to trick Achi into breaking the rules. And I think it said in an earlier ep they also have to pay the company money if they break the rules and have to leave. I'm glad they clarified that Peek just happened to be doing Pond's job for him. I thought for a second maybe Pond told him to rile Achi up like that.

Finally fessing up to the leg thing and everything else. Good for you, Peek. Growth!

And Kla telling everyone to let the drama and competition and the fighting go, so they can all get through this. I like Kla a lot more than I thought I would. Side note. Not a fan of everyone suddenly deciding to comment on Kla's weight and saying that he's "chubby." Where did this even come from?

Not the group hug I wanted exactly, but I'll take a huddle.

I would watch a show with these two. I might be the problem.

lmaoooo they left the "to miss each other" off the end of distancing myself from Most is good (or whatever Achi originally said)

I agree with this person too. Give Earth Mr. Congeniality! He's the best. So laid back. Always nice. He was comforting Peek and Achi in their fight earlier.

I would watch a show with these two. I might be am the problem. Pond's actor looks so familiar, but I don't know from where.

What does the blue and red even mean? These charts mean nothing to me. Looks like they're all losing.

These two should win. They had the best relationship development based solely on trying each other's favorite condiments at the beginning of the episode.

Awww he's owning up to the fans too! I'm not honest. I'm not sincere. I haven't been myself. But you're being honest now!

Good for you, Peek. So proud.

I'm with Kla on this. I'm sure all three couples can land a series after this show. Or individually even.

After all that and they just have this voice over to reveal the winners. So dumb! But I guess it's because Peek really won, so they couldn't reveal it like planned. I'd be more upset if I were actually waiting to see and then didn't get to see their reactions. But since they revealed Achi and Most would win in the original trailer, I don't care as much.

😂 I don't think your response is as sweet and romantic as you think it is, Kla. He's not very good, but he's trying very hard hahahahaha

He's become my safe zone 🥹 (cue IPYTM flashbacks 😭)

This whole exchange was super cute. I guess I like how this ended. Pan and Nott ended in an established relationship. Bew and Gus ended on the hope of a relationship in the future (I think? I'm still too scared to watch the last episode. I don't really like endings that aren't fully happy.) Peek and Kla ended at the beginning of their relationship. I still wish we had more of their background though.

Good for them, getting a series. Although, what is that hair on Peek?

I'm excited for Toru and First's chemistry for the next episodes, but I'm nervous about the story. I don't like cheating plot lines. Honestly, I think it would've been more interesting for Most and Peek to actually have won Y-Idol, and then Achi and Most's story could revolve around how to navigate a relationship when your fictional ship is broken up and you're shipped with other people. But oh well. It looks like Earth and Korn might be in next episode, which would be nice. And Dew and P. But I'm not getting my hopes up that we'll learn anything about them :( I am confused why Most says they can pair themselves up or whatever he says. Because wasn't that the whole point of the Y-Idol thing? And what's going on in this screenshot?
