A Costly Reminder: Always Add Water Before Steaming

For dinner, I set up a steamer basket in a pot and added broccoli, like I normally do. This time, I forgot to add water. The stove was left on max heat for quite a while before I noticed the mistake.

By the time I caught it, my beloved 3 Qt All-Clad pot had already turned a golden, heat discolored color instead of its usual stainless steel finish. The photos were taken after a thorough scrubbing with BKF, which improved the appearance significantly, though I was unable to restore it to its original pristine condition.

A good reminder. Never leave an empty pot on high heat, even for a short time

Would an 8000 BTU AC Be Overkill for a 136 sq. ft. Bedroom?

I have a 6000 BTU window air conditioner that I bought a few months ago for my 136 sq. ft. bedroom. The main living area of my apartment can get really hot, so I was wondering if it would be worth upgrading to an 8000 BTU unit and using fans to push the cool air from the bedroom into the living room.

My main concern is that, at night, when I close the bedroom door to sleep, the 8000 BTU unit might be overkill for such a small room.

Or should I just stick with the 6000 BTU unit and deal with the heat in the main living areas during the day?

Loving these

I never really liked the AF1 look because of how chunky they are, and I recently discovered these Court Vision Lows. They don’t seem very popular here, but I really like the sleeker design and the overall fit. Very satisfied with this purchase.

3 Months Old Field Company Pan

This is my first real cast iron pan, and I have to say, I really enjoy cooking with it. I expected the seasoning to stick a little better, but I haven’t gone crazy trying to season it.

Any other Field Company owners out there? How do you like yours?
