/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Since when do you need a "hotpad" to pick up a pan?
When the pan is cast iron like the one in the picture, the hot pan transmits heat directly into handle as they are all one piece. How fast the handle gets hot depends how long the pan has been heating and how hot you are cooking. If you’re just doing a quick fry or sear, you’ll be fine, if you’re simmering something for a while, you’ll need protection.
2. When you use a gas stove, a lot of heat is wasted* as hot air that flows up and around the pan. If the handle is metal and close to the pan or not designed with sufficient heat isolation and dissipation, it will get very hot.
*Some cookware, like woks, capture and use some of this heat, with their wide sloping sides, but most of it still escapes unutilized. In periods of cold weather, excess heat that is not vented helps to heat the space. Otherwise the heat needs to be vented, or offset by running air conditioning.
Never need anything with cast I use on the stove top. The handles just don't get that hot for the cast-iron use-cases (which is generally some kind of frying, whether a steak, a burger, some chicken, etc).
And my stainless is even better. Those handles just don't get hot on the stove top, ever.
