I had Stuffed Cabbage.

If I don't post for awhile, can someone check the county jail and bail me out. The wife washed my favorite cast iron skillet without rinsing the sponge.

Sounds like you should have washed it yourself. Cleaning that pan should have been off limits from the start.

This is your fault and your fault alone. Sorry bro.

I usually do. But because of a recent surgery, I'm not allowed to lift anything over 5 pounds (the pan weighs in at 8), and I'm not allowed to bend at my abdomen.

And it's OK to "wash" with water, which I usually do. But when you don't rinse out the sponge, it's a problem.

Just throw some Olive Oil in that pan and cook it on high. Burns the crud right out!


The wife has expressly informed me that cast iron is never, EVER to go in the dish washer. One day I put all of the cast iron in the washer after I cleaned it and let it stay in there overnight. The next day she thought I ran it with the cast iron in it and was LIVID. I got a great chuckle out of it. She got to call me a dick and asshole in rapid succession.

I'm going to use this as an opportunity to totally re-season with the flaxseed oil method from Cook's Illustrated. Just makes me angry. I had 15 years of seasoning on that since I bought it. Probably closer to 16. She just didn't make sure the sponge was thoroughly rinsed.

That's no good, just keep in mind she was trying to help out. Go easy on her. No need to see you on CNN tomorrow. Heh.

Nah, I know. Angry is the wrong word. It's just a pan. But damn. :facepalm:

I don't get it

Soap destroys the seasoning. I've seasoned that pan longer than I've known her.

divorce is safer—if you're going to go that far.:D

Tonight, we went with chuck eyes (I used the Jaccard to tenderize and help with the marinade. Good choice. We also went with a zucchini, fresh from the garden. Bad choice. Something went wrong with that zucchini, and it was terribly bitter.

First off item we've gotten from the garden this year, though. The tomatoes, I'm told, have all been delicious.

Hit her on the head with it. Won't happen again

Hey babe, don't do that again, K? Bap!
Love u babe, but thus is my pan. Bap!
So what did we learn today? Bap!
