/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.

Cast pans have a "hole" at the base of the handle. It's there for a reason.

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The reason is hanging storage.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That one is at the end of the handle. (Or you hang your pans by the handle's base?) The one on the base does not go all the way through the handle.

But I'm more and more aware that lots of people here never saw a properly designed pan.

I don't think what you are describing is even available in Canada, at least as a cast iron.

I have a few steel pans with the hole you are referring to, but I have never seen it in cast iron, which is what this post is referring to.

None of the pans that cast iron enthusiasts talk about have a hole at the base either.

How do the handle connects with the pan at the frying pans you know? Through a solid slip like if the part of it you hold was just inserted into the main body metal?

There is no thin-walled segment at all?

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Cast irons are ...casted iron. They are a single piece of metal, which includes the handles. If anything,the average cast iron pan is thicker where the handle meets the pan due to cast iron being brittle and heavy.

This being an example of the most popular line of cast irons, due to its quality:cost ratio.

Well, yeah, I see how that will burn your hand.

I've found a photo on Google of one with a much more reasonable handle. Notice it's not plane, and it connects to the pan making a W, with walls thinner than the pan's. You can get even better by making the connection with a long U shape.
