I recently bought the Tilreda thinking I may get a better result since my biggest hobbis 18cm, but to be honest, haven’t had reason to…

It sounds like you’re well versed with cookwear maintenance and have the right gear with the bang for buck Tamontina and BKF, but I’ve…

Non problem - you’re most welcome. Carbon steel has a small learning curve, but is a lot more forgiving than stainless steel when it…

What’s the issue with the 140w unit? Sees to get great reviews.
16/10/2025 - 21:08
Who says? Isn’t the battery you linked the same as the second one in this deal?
16/10/2025 - 20:20
Hey mate, No, I haven't tried the 26cm Yahgan (or any of my 8", 10" or 12" Misens) on Induction - only gas and ceramic electric.…

Season-stripping, rust, inability to soak and unsuitability of acidic cooking in Carbon Steel is "nonsense"? Better tell the world, because…

$30 / 7 months = 14c a day $189 / 1200 months = 1/2 a cent a day You can't amortize crazy...

Haven't tried it, so can't speak intelligently from a firsthand perspective. Some of the reddit reports suggest it's nitriding does not…

Absolutely, which is why I posted about the $39 Vardagen pan three posts below. It's a bang for buck beast - albeit it's poor reviews are…

For a user who knows how to use cast iron or carbon steel, they are indeed a tried and tested technology which has stood the test of time.…

The Kmart pans actually review quite well, not least for not having a detachable handle that inevitably comes loose. Chefs that actually…

Tell that to a billion chefs. As I said before, if you want to nitpick, you’d best start asterisking that the composition of carbon steel…

No prob - I’m honestly not trying to offend you. Many years ago when seeking decent non-stick Tefal deals on OzBargain, I first stumbled…
14/10/2025 - 23:52
At this point, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. The posters you tried correcting above were right. Yes all steel has carbon in…
14/10/2025 - 23:46
You absolutely can, but there’s a couple of caveats; 1) You have to season the pan when you receive it. Chiefly to protect against rust,…

You’re not bursting his bubble, you’re showing that you don’t know as much as he does. Whilst ironically, carbon steel has *more*…
14/10/2025 - 23:35
No idea. Are governments banning it like they are Teflon and other PTFE’s? In any event, I didn’t even mention the toxic chemicals…
14/10/2025 - 23:30
Expensive cookware is indeed never used in commercial kitchens. Trained chefs don’t need (or wash!) expensive work pans, but for home…

If the price is too much, consider a Vardagen Carbon Steel 28cm from Ikea for $39, or the 28cm Sensuell Tri-clad Stainless Steel for $69.…
14/10/2025 - 23:25
I’m not sure it is ceramic, but if so, do some research on non-stick ceramic coating. Safer than Teflon/PTFE’s. For both of months…
14/10/2025 - 23:16
No. No. No. No. No. Non-stick is hot garbage and coated ceramic is the worst performing of all non-stick once you get past your first half…
14/10/2025 - 23:13
Ha! True professionals are sipping from their Zojirushi’s…

$200+ for a dual lens dome with abysmal vertical FOV? Meh. Unless you’ve got a long narrow strip to monitor and/or a need for a vandal…
09/10/2025 - 22:40
Yes on both counts.

All solar are indeed wifi. But wifi can be powered by either continuous power such as a GPO wall plug, or by solar.
02/10/2025 - 23:28
Just the fact that it’s not a documented feature, so would seem logical that it *may* not always work. Whilst every report I’ve seen of…
02/10/2025 - 19:32
Early firmware versions showed Duos as two distinct channels, but current versions stitch the two feeds together and display as one. My…

Yeah, it’s an undocumented feature - so may not work depending on how much bandwidth your 8 cams are consuming, but I’m yet to find…
