Boiling lemons today. What about you?

This seems like a pretty fresh take on trolling an existing meme. I'm interested to see where you go with it.

Final result, dark, bitter, sour. Probably unfit for consumption.

No wonder it tasted so bitter, I seem to have produced a powerful cleaning agent. Results clearly visible on rim of pan.

Don't just boil the damn peels you retard. Zest the entire fruit + juice it and use those. Alternatively, age the peels in everclear or vodka. Any white is going to make it super bitter.

>>8396130
That's just the acidic nature of what you made. That's not why it's bitter.

>> No.8396136

>>8396130
Well, you know how you're not supposed to boil anything acidic in cast iron for an extended length of time?
Cast iron can survive making some spaghetti sauce or chili, but jesus fuck you were REDUCING LEMON JUICE.
There's probably a bunch of dissolved iron in that lemon juice.

>> No.8396139

>>8396034
you should have chosen another pan for this
your lemons are going to take on a bunch of iron
and your pan is going to be eaten away slightly

No, they won't. Because it hasn't been ground/polished smooth like the old stuff. A $20 Lodge isn't worth season on purpose. Just use it, half-halfheartedly scraping and wiping occasionally, and enjoy your good iron levels (which would already be great were you eating enough beans and greens).

All it takes to polish a Lodge smooth is a paint/rust stripping disc like this. Costs $5. Put it in a corded drill and go to town on it.
Anything coarser and you might be take material off too quickly.
An angle grinder is hard to grind evenly with since you have to tilt it to get it into the pan.
Or you can pay $80 and $40 shipping for overinflated Griswolds/Wagners off of eBay or Etsy.
