>>14471798
It is confusing to me as well

>>14471696
Because American cultural supremacy set the world back a hundred years. Not talking about Teflon either, but simple sheet steel.

Europe abandoned cast iron when sheet steel came around and they still had a couple brain cells ... but America and the ongoing retardation of the population dragged us back.

>>14471696
Because, fuck you, I like it, Adam. I'm not going to write a graduate thesis and present it before a thesis committee or the wojack posters to prove a point, either.

I have a Lodge cast iron pan.
I only use it when I'm DEEP FRYING AT HOME.
CHECKMATE RAGUSEA
MWAAH HAAAH HAAAH HAAAAAAAAAH

>>14471696
I just got to ask, for any poster that isn't Adam, is this worth watching? I only watched the first few seconds amounting to less than a minute.

I know he is very insecure about his skills and thus always replies to serious criticism in a very immature manner. What else pisses him off? Oddly I do not think that being called a C U C K affects him at all.

>>14472284
why bother making 'educational' videos if you arent even confident about your skills? so many cases, sad

anyone notice that Adam, at some point, has picked up the habit of sharply inhaling through his teeth at the beginning/end of sentences? makes a little hiss noise. kinda makes his vids unbearable once you focus on it.

He literally shilled cast iron like a year ago

>>14471696

>>14471696
He's the embodiment of slave morality. You can tell that behind his cringey little "you do you!" shit and starting his plebbit comments with "friend, ...", there's real contempt hiding. He speaks this way because he's terrified of confrontation and has no idea how to handle disagreement. It's quite evident that he genuinely thinks he's the shit, but he's just too much of a coward and a mental weakling to face any critique head-on and honourably. That's why he hedges with these weasely little phrases, why he pre-empts all possible criticism with a pre-written and pinned FAQ, and why he saw the need to make that bizarre and incoherent video on why he refuses to use metric conversions.

So it doesn't surprise me that he's prone to the occasional outburst of impotent anger in his comments section from time to time -- he clearly has an ego and a measure of masculine rage, but has never learnt what to do with them, and has spent his life being afraid of any kind of self-affirmation. Why, for example, did he overreact with such vitriol to this relatively benign comment about ceramic stoves? Why does he get so upset over a very gentle quip about the narration? Because that's the kind of language in which Adam would himself codify his criticism. He interprets the slightest of gibes as full-frontal attacks because that's the way he'd make a criticism. Simple, honest and straightforward language is not for him; he lacks the courage to be direct.

As other anons have said, all of this has probably been reinforced/cemented by his having been a professor, where he's been able to go mostly unchallenged in his little fiefdom for years. Now he's suddenly exposed to the internet, where everyone is way harsher, and more importantly, don't need to please him to pass a class. I guess he's struggling to adapt a bit.

this article made me change to steel/ glass/ cast iron.

love cast iron, the amount of iron in your food from the googling i've done is minimal

i dont season it at all, just keep using it and it gets better, scrape it out and use it again, i dont rly clean it every time, but when i do it's really not that hard fellas.

take the iron pill lads!

>>14472339

>>14472812
>love cast iron, the amount of iron in your food from the googling i've done is minimal
There's actually nothing wrong with ingesting iron from the minuscule amounts that come from cast iron
Some people purposefully put iron objects into their food just to make sure they aren't anemic

>>14471998
>is this internet cooking show worth watching?
No.

The amount of maintenance a cast iron pan needs is totally overblown. I use mine to sear meat a couple times a mont and I have had no problems with the seasoning. I just use hot water to clean it and sometimes use a metal spachula to scrape off hard to clean stuff.
I never had to apply oil after cleaning or anything fancy.
The problem with the $20 cast iron pans now is the surface is really rough and the factory seasoning is bad. When I bought mine years ago I had to take some time to sand down the surface and apply a few layers of seasoning in the oven. But since then I have never had to do any more maintenance than a normal pan.

>>14471696
Omg Adam's stacked. You think he's been working out or is he just naturally beefy. tfw imagining those meaty pythons encircling me in a warm hug.

Literally 80% of this guys videos can be summed up into “I’m just too lazy to do it properly’”

>>14471696
I have this same body type. Do people consider this fat?

>>14471915
I see cast iron used in restaurants all the time. It's a bit of a meme, but hey, I won't shit on it. It's also better for particular things like large outdoors pans and the like.

I really despise this faggoy ever since he did that video about how Taco Bell is evil cultural appropriating devil food because the founder...

Implimented the recipe he was taught in Mexico as part of his business. And then went on to say that Taco Bell is stealing from Mexico by...

Doing different recipes from the ones in Mexico.

He even had this Professor of mexican culture come on. She kept trying to say she didn't mind Americans eating Burritos but Adam kept editing those bits out.

TL/DR he's a woke middle class faggot excersising his privilege to moralise to poor people.

cast iron is based and the only way i like to pan fry most things. i still break out the stainless steel for certain dishes, but jesus fuck this thing is good, especially for dishes like chickie parm where i can transfer from the stove top to the oven instantly. fuck adam.

When I was or so there was that ugly girl at school, like she was known for her ugliness, but a few years later she started putting tons of make up and dressing like a slut, it was painful seeing her trying so hard, when I look at Adam I always think of this.

>A curlbro usually doesn't know anything about fitness and his goal isn't to develop an aesthetically pleasing body but rather just grow big 'disco muscles, bro!' to impress 'da chixx, brah!'.
Yeah as opposed to us true body builders who absolutely do not care about visuals.
It just looks like insecure people projecting on what they perceived as lesser than them.

>>14474132
holy shit the strawman and meta projecting is insane in this post

is that you adam?

>>14472255
A point that I did not know was that if you don't use a cast iron pan frequently, the oil you used to prevent rust will go rancid, and it will eventually rust regardless. Older generations didn't have this problem because they were forced to use them on the regular. I've been cooking two meals a day for the last 10 years or so but even I have pans I don't use that often.

He also points out that seasoning is still relatively obscure, there are lots of question unanswered like what exact procedures are best, ideal temperature, potential health risks, etc, as lots of research on the subject are still proprietary.

Bright side is you can actually use dishwashing liquid on them, lye was the problem but modern products don't have it apparently.

>and why im on the fence about it
Looks like he's getting more moderate/centrist after being roasted so hard over his deepfry video.

>>14474165
if your using an oil that goes rancid to season a cast iron you're fucking up

also coating the pan after you're done is retarded and superfluous. he dumped a tablespoon into that pan and wasted 90 percent of it in the rag. dab the towel and coat in an extremely thin layer, then heat it on the stove until it starts smoking lightly. wipe out the smoked oil and thats it.

you don't even have to do it every single time, but for the love of god don't use harsh soaps on it. an un-soaped sponge and hot water work fine with shit that isn't gunked on the pan.

>>14472332
It was irritating.

>>14474180
>coat in an extremely thin layer, then heat it on the stove until it starts smoking lightly. wipe out the smoked oil and thats it.
Honestly it looks like so much maintenance, tricky one at that, not to mention it's not the only thing you have to look at, like having to wash it immediately after cooking, when my stainless steel is still intact after years of use, abuse and neglect. I'm pretty sure "my grandkids will use it" as cast iron enthusiasts like to say. Teflon must be used with care too but it's mostly about things not to do rather than doing, so I feel golden with my current combination, not to mention my precious stainless steel pressure cooker that I use every day.

>>14471696
Because I'm a better cook than you.

>>14472339

I'd be willing to bet that in Japan such a thing exists.

>>14473048
When I did parkour, exercises were about developping strength, I've seen things you wouldn't believe, but nobody looked swole like that, they were absolutely all very thin. The funny thing is that next to us where we trained there was this group of what is apparently called curlbros, they'd do mostly pull-ups and had big arms. I think my group kind of pitied them.

>>14473634
Oh hello Ethan, readied up that contrarian vid yet ?

>>14474076
>i can transfer from the stove top to the oven
You can do that with anything else nowadays, handles have caught up to that practice by being made in an appropriate material or can outright be removed in a second.

>>14474219
if you can't take 2 minutes to care for you cookware i guess you can go the lazy route, but cast iron is incredibly versatile and a useful tool. every decent cook should have at least 1 cast iron pan for convenience.

Dont get inbetween a numale white guy and his game of thrones, funko pop, and cast iron skillet. Jesus fuck if I hear one more guy talk about his steak he cook on cast iron.

>>14474315
I tried and failed when I was 25 or so, maybe I should try again now that I'm a bit less retarded. Food had a quite strong iron taste and rusted regardless of my efforts. But no way I'm seasoning a pan in my small flat, I feel like this ideally should be done outside given the smell, the way smoke seems to adhere to walls and to everything really, multiplied by the number of times you should ideally season the pan before it can have a proper non stick coat.

>>14474356
i would encourage you to try again, there's not another type of cookware you can perfectly sear a steak, bake a pizza, deep fry, and have a non-stick coating with at the same time. when you season it don't let it smoke heavily and the smell won't be a problem. cook high fat meats like bacon/deep fry with it when it's new and the seasoning will build faster.

>>14474365
cast iron isnt fucking non stick. all the dicking around and scraping you have to do. white people have no culture so they obsess over fucking cast iron

>>14471696
The more I get exposed to these soy looking fuck "youtubers" the more I fuckin despise them.

>>14474365
The pizza baking part is the most interesting I think, because ovens lack the necessary heat for a proper pizza, starting in a pan solves that basically, and I guess you don't have to pre heat the oven for one fucking hour either.

>>14474373
it's pretty close if you aren't a complete retard, not sure why race has anything to do with this.

>>14474373
The first known use of cast iron cookware was during the Han Dynasty in China, around 220 A.D."

For me, it's carbon steel, the best kind of frying pan.

>>14471696
Something I read back in the day is that modern cast iron pans are made thicker and heavier than before because modern ways to heat pans cause them to warp somehow. The one I used was so heavy I couldn't consider sauteeing, flipping things in it which was quite the downside.

>>14471998
I thought this video was alright. He's interviewed a company that makes cast iron pans, so was a little informative. It's made me want to buy one - didn't realise you could get them for so cheap and desu didn't realise maintenance was that easy. People here make cast iron sound like such a chore sometimes.

Video is best just listened to and not watched. Can't stand his face. How does a guy so outwardly homosexual / potentially ftm trans manage to court a woman and have children with her? Weird.

I completely get why some people can't stand him, though.
Oh, some of his videos are borderline McMuttster level of retardation - such as his fucking retarded video on metric units in cooking. A few simple arguments crush his whole narrative there, but he's lucky to not be challenged on them.

It's kinda hilarious how he argues along 3 vectors just to make sure he's "right" with at least one argument. Guy seriously has a fragile ego kek

>>14475077
no you fuck off, he's /ourguy/

I just watched his metric video after a few of you mentioned. I get the point he's making, that as he lives in the US it's easier to use US measurements as that's how most things are sold. Where we can get 500g of pasta he has better access to a pound of pasta. Why did he need to make a whole 15 minute video on it? And how hard is it to just adjust the recipe a bit so it still works but is in easier measurements for him?

>>14475185
>Why did he need to make a whole 15 minute video on it?
Let's not pretend we're blind to the fact that as for many other youtubers, heavily relying on tribal/contrarian/controversial value is a thing, it's guaranteed "liveliness".
I can easily tell when a video is uninspired and Adam just felt like throwing people against each other over anything possible just to keep views and comments afloat.
I still feel like he genuinely has some interest tackling deep rooted, empirical but still false knowledge, but there's also clickbait.

>>14475185
It’s not a fucking point, tho. American recipes jump on increments of 1/4 pound at least, just because strictly a pound is like 454g, you can just say 450g. Or 400. Or 500. It doesn’t really matter. It’s still more precise than american units, even when rounding heavily.
He’s retarded tho, as all americans are

>>14474953
That fag literally told people that you shouldn't deep fry at home.

>>14474761

>>14475249
All he said was that frying at home is fine, but not to expect to get results that a commerial kitchen would have, because battered food should be fried with enough space in the vessel to not constantly bump into each other and end up in a big clump

>>14475185
>>14475269
american here. I measure every thing in grams on a digital scale that cost $20 because the math is easier for dividing your servings for your macro nutrients since even in America we measure protein and carbs in grams. Plus fractions are a lot easier when you're not converting from eighths so i can just do it in my head instead of breaking out the calculator every time.

Grams>oz. Oz are worthless.

>>14474953
He is the impersonation of plebbit, and he spouts sjw nonsense while making ok but non impressive food.

>>14475248
It really isn't a point when talking about cooking but can be a point when talking about baking imo. I wouldn't convert from grams to cups for baking because you'll probably get some difficult-to-measure volumes. But then I wouldn't look up a metric recipe when I can only measure in imperial. The recipe he looked up for shepherd's pie is the most retarded thing he could be using in this video - you can eyeball everything in that recipe if you have just a bit of experience cooking things. It's just a meat pie topped with creamy mashed potatoes.

>>14471930

The iron is not minimal....for men. Women menstruate, so not too much iron build up. For men, it's going to contribute to heart disease.

>>14473048
>I have this same body type. Do people consider this fat?
He's fat where it's considered bad, upper body and torso (near your heart). This is sometimes called "Apple" shaped. Waist down is considered less dangerous but can indicate a circulation problem when "Pear" shaped.

>>14475889

All in all Adam doesn't strike me as anything more than a nagging wife, but that fucking dude over there, I'm not even sure how to put it, it isn't a realm I happily delve into, his "remastered" videos, the way he talks, his gaze, that fucking wall of text he made for Adam's stupid comment, all under the guise of such false sympatheticness and civilness I'm forgetting a lot but I absolutely don't want to look at his face or channel ever again and I'm actively trying to forget his personality., you'll have to try and investigate, look at it through my prism.

>>14475914
>his gaze

Truly menacing, i have a feeling he has a dark secret, or even multiple dark secrets

He's also a leech, from his "this youtuber's food but better series" to his "own" recipes 90% of which he steals from kenji and maybe changes one ingredient to claim it as his own and make it " better"

My theory is that when you're a youtuber, you have to sell a bit of your soul and make quite dishonest things to succeed, like clickbaits, big dick moves, contrarianism etc, anytime I watch a youtuber I eventually see how he copes with this, Ethan's the kind of guy to fully embrace it, adding to the thing even.

>>14472215
skiny nek

>>14471696
I like it.

I never cared for cast iron but now i think it's fucking retarded. First you got to season it by literally burning oil in it, which creates toxins. Then after cooking you got to rub oil in it again, which is going to oxidized by the next time you use it.

>>14476067
>toxins
Why does nobody question this ? It's only intuitive to be worried about burnt oil that has been there for possibly decades in some cases.
Apparently you shouldn't be reusing frying oil too much because of acrylamids, any chance it may include the polymerized oil on a pan as well ?

>>14471798
Right? He's so fucking grotesque.

>>14471798
This is what happens when you replace the cutting phase of your routine with more bulking.

>>14474953
He's made some fantastic videos (like his "Why You Should Grow Your Own Tomatoes") but the more he's become popular the more elitist he's become. It used to be "Hey this is what I prefer to do, here's my methods to how I do it, if you happen to try it and like my method then cool!", now it's, "Yeah, I do XYZ methods to cook, but let me give you asinine reasons to why you shouldn't cook in some other particular way, because I actually put research and time into bringing you this information! Therefore, I'm right, and people listened to me before so why wouldn't I be right this time again?"

>>14475320
Of course it would, considering Ethan literally made an entire video to prove that you can confidently, and competently, deep fry at home if you so wished. Ethan wouldn't have needed to make just as long winded of a post if Fagusea stayed in his lane and just accepted that people like to do shit differently and in their own way, much like he does.

>muh ethnic sloppa shit =/= culture
ok carlos

>>14471696
I've never season mine I just cook with em constantly and use a little bit of soap and water to clean also never have to deal with rust this guy seems dumb

>>14476313
He literally says in the video that if you cook with it all the time then rust is not an issue and maintenance is simple.

>>14476590
Yeah I stopped watching this dude like a minute in. He seems like a faggot

>>14471969
Based.

>>14476208
Ethan coulda made a video about frying at hone without mentioning Ragusea at all, but then he couldnt ride on his algorithm coattails

Ethan is a roach that needs to be stomped

>>14476633
I bet you fapped to more tranny porn than him, you fucking faggot.

>>14476683
Not everyone beats off to trannys

>>14474638
didn't realize till now that he used 3 twice

>>14476166
nah adam is skinny fat, he should lift hard and then cut

/ck/ - Food & Psychoanalysis

Women like cast iron because many women have iron deficiency but it is liable to fuck up a man’s iron levels.

why is this thread allowed to stay up?

>>14471696
I don’t need to watch this video (and i wont) to know its based.

Adam's coq au vin recipe was pretty good though

>>14477560
i doubt it.

>>14477560
looks like shit

>>14477572
>>14477591
You're mean

>>14472284
He only seems to get mad when people actually critique him for something. Simply insulting him does not illicit a response.

>>14477674
yes i am, deal with it, adam

>>14472959
Since his face isn't doesn't look fat, i'm guessing he does lift/exercise but has a bunch of fat on top of his muscles making him looks really bloated.

>>14471696
Question: is cast iron worth it if you only have an electrical range?

>>14477674
is that your cat?

>>14477679
I've always said that name-calling is useless unless it's true and you have a complex. So, by going with that, he knows exactly what his problems are but refuses to accept them.

>>14477674
>yo, I know its 0030h, but I need you to tell me if my coq au vin was good

>>14477674
These could be literally any two people LARPing or a straight up photoshop. Try again.

>>14477674
Timestamps are incorrect for Ragusea's timezone. Nice try, though.

>>14471798
He lifts, but doesn't diet. Are you really such a fatass that you've never heard of muscles?

>>14477988
i think you must be fucking obese, because that doesn't look like muscles

>>14475318
I have, he actually ends up agreeing with Ethan that you should deep fry if you want to deep fry. He also clarifies his original position, and then talks about a few minor points. /ck/ has the reading comprehension of a toddler though so to posters here it just comes off as seethe
Also, bear in mind that this image is a response to a video, which must have had a script much longer than Adam's comment here. If Adam is seething, Ethan is too

>>14478040
>If Adam is seething, Ethan is too
yeah they are both immense faggots that's why it's hilarious

>>14471915
I bought cast iron to get rid of my other pans.

>>14477902
if youre willing to put in the time to take care of the pan then yes

>>14477902
It's mentioned in the video, the answer is yes because cast iron retains it's temperature better, and many electric surfaces cycle on and off, meaning your pan heat stays even while it cycles.

>>14478116
or you could get a decent carbon steel pan

>>14478128
Which is also covered in the video, it's the trade off of more expense vs. easier care/maintenance. I didn't make the video, I cook mostly on a cold rolled steel griddle, not on a pan so I have no horse in this race aside from I use cast iron while camping for obvious reasons.

>>14474076
You can do that with stainless steel, too, but cast iron seems to cook savory things better but bake certain things worse. Cornbread is good in cast iron but yorkshire pudding did better in the stainless steel.

>>14471969
I think this guy is just piggy backing on Adam's success.

>>14478161
cant stand the fuckers face, what exactly is the positive side of carbon steel? I use both and i find carbon steel infinitely superior to cast iron. Maybe because i use a high powered induction stovetop

>>14478175
Adam's success is due to the Youtube algorithm not because he's a good cook.

>>14471998
I like him, if he does a 15min video you wont even know that time went by. Dont listen to the ppl on here.
>if it's not a pizza or fast food thread its trash

>As other anons have said, all of this has probably been reinforced/cemented by his having been a professor, where he's been able to go mostly unchallenged in his little fiefdom for years. Now he's suddenly exposed to the internet, where everyone is way harsher, and more importantly, don't need to please him to pass a class. I guess he's struggling to adapt a bit.
It took some hunting, but this is his former Dept at that University.
https://ccj.mercer.edu/
Go down to "Meet the Staff" which consists of 8 people that are not instructors in any way, and you'll this Dept consists of 3 people, two actual professors with some Endownment funding that put them there, a one single Asst Professor who is "visiting" like Adam was as well. A visiting assistant professor has no clout or would go unchallenged. Quit this job for more money? I doubt he was actually paid. He was a Journalist in residence....they gave him a cubical/desk space to use to establish an address, that's what that means. Assistant and Visiting? This guy didn't generate income for him and leaving a University job in 2020 when your Dept is less than 8 people total is low risk for covid, and you'd be working from home anyway, what fool would quit a job he didn't have to actually show up to do?

Just another butthurt person with exaggerations about his resume. No one in academia would call themselves "a professor" in a bio or a sound byte in writing if they didn't have the title to back it up. It's like saying you're a "doctor" when you're a P.A....dishonorable and misleading. You earn your rank and until then, you're so and so, but you aren't Professor so and so until you're at that rank.

Instead of looking like a faggot, he just looks like a ftm beefed up tranny.

I live in england so iron would rust here due to the humidity

>>14478244
not if you coat it in oil

>>14478248
I'd have to use it constantly though and that would require reorganising what I eat how I cook everything
pointless change

>>14478265
I live in flanders, same humidity as bongland. I use carbon steel de buyer pans, they never rusted on me before. What do you cook with then? Stainless?

>>14477988
Hi adam

>>14471930
WHOAH IS THAT REAL?

>>14478275
>What do you cook with then? Stainless?
yeah
I do have a ceramic cast iron pot for stews and braising
but just getting a normal cast iron pan just seems unnecessary for me

>>14478293
yeah in that case, stick what works for you

lol did you see his little butthurt essay?

>>14478327
because /ck/ doesnt have millions of followers, because /ck/ isnt a single person who bans everyone who disagrees, because adam is just an insecure faggot

>>14478244
I live in Georgia, USA, a very humid region and have no problem. While cast irons like Lodge are fine out of the box for use and non-stick properties, you'll have a much easier handle on it if you sand it down (60, 80, and 100 grit sandpaper) and season it several times with lard. Mine is smooth now and can't harbor moisture as easily. The one I cleaned then seasoned once out of the box with vegetable oil was fine and no rust but patchy in appearance and the one I did nothing to ended up with rust after several uses. Don't trust them right out of the box. Give the pan at least one seasoning.

>>14478449
>I live in Georgia, USA

OK, Adam

>>14478449
imagine having to grind down your cast iron shitlet and season it a million times. Either get stainless or carbon steel

>>14478483
You don't have to. You can just season it once out of the box, but the one I left alone rusted. It's fine now and would have also been fine with only sanding the rusted spot and seasoning it. But if you would like to ensure your pan is completely fuck up proof and easier to clean and dry, you can sand it down. I use almost only stainless steel, but I have two 5 inch cast irons I use for cornbread, sourdough dutch babies, yorkshire pudding, mini pies, and searing small filets.

>>14478499
i have one cast iron i never use because it's useless. I mostly use carbon steel or stainless. Those are easy as shit to wash and they fry shit up like a dream. I dont see the niche for cast iron when you have high output gas or induction stovetops

>>14478523
Cast irons get a nice even crust on stuff like the foods that I mentioned but aren't completely necessary if you don't want them. I've used my stainless steel half quart "cocotte" pots side by side for the same foods, and they come out okay but not as good. The stuff in the stainless tends to overcook, toughen, or burn since it heats through faster, but you might be able to combat that with a sheet pan underneath or a sheet pan with some water in it. I got the cast irons to experiment with and was happy enough with them to try sanding the rusted one to see what kind of results I get. I just got a convection oven, so it will be interesting to see how things work out in it.

>>14478523
Also, at one point I had a 12 inch cast iron skillet that was a pain to deal with due to the size and my inexperience. If it were to rust, it would have been a lot to deal with for something that I didn't know how to use. Eventually I'll likely get a larger cast iron and have no problem taking care of it.

>>14471798
He has fat covering up his muscles, so he's not lean enough. Most of the fat is spread around his arms and upper body. His jaw is probably much more defined, even though it looks like he's thin in the face and already has a good jawline.

>>14471696
Don't need to, Skeet: I memorized the prices, and did the tax and change in my head!

>>14478570
>>14478587
my carbon steel pans get superb crusts on whatever i try to sear too. I dont see the need for a cast iron. I have a AEG induction stovetop that has a lot of output. I work in a mediocre steak restaurant, my grill at work hardly compares to what i can do at home, sadly. And the head chef is obviously too stubborn to admit it

>>14474132
Why are gymrats so bitchy?

>>14478608
it does not look like fat it looks like some kind of fluid buildup

>>14471998
No not really. To sum it up cast iron is cheaper and easier to shape compared to other pans

The positive side is that multi ply stamped steel pans are every bit as good as cast iron, and less of a pain in the ass to maintain. The downside is that that cost about 5 times more.

Cast iron's for poorfags confirmed.
