Is there a reason why you can't put Copper pans and pots in a dishwasher?

Do pans and pots made out of copper rust like those made of cast iron and carbon steel if you put them in the dishwasher?

I see a lot of recipes use "chili flakes" for dishes. Do I have to make them myself or can they be bought at the store?

I want to make the food I cook tastier and I see some recipes talk about using chili flakes in their dishes. The thing that confuses is me is if I have to buy chilis and make the flakes myself or can I buy them at the store? Would they be called "chili flakes" or something else?

How many words for "griddle" are there in Spanish?

In Mexican Spanish, a griddle is known as a "comal" and I know this is used for all types of griddles whether the ones in restaurants for burgers and pancakes or small home griddles on stoves for tortillas. I've heard Mexicans in the U.S. and Mexico use it so I assumed it was the universal term.

I recently learned that in South America, the word "budare" is used instead and someone also told me that the standard Spanish term for a griddle is "plancha".

Are there any other terms used for griddle in other Spanish speaking countries?

Does anyone know where to buy a good carbon steel comal online?

All the comals I find in store like Target or Walmart are either really cheap and bend after a couple of days or made out of iron or stainless steel. I know modern comals in Mexico are made of carbon steal but are there any good sites that sell them outside of Mexico?

The only one I could find with good reviews is from Made In and Masienda but it's over $100.

I can't justify paying that much for a comal. Is my only option to pick one up from Mexico in person and bring it over?

How would you say "phew" in French?

Like "Phew, we finished", "Phew, we barely made it", or "Phew. That was hard". Is there a word in French that would be used the same way?

What does this sentence mean: "la neta le intente pegar a la mamada"?

It was in a video where someone was asked why they were dressed a certain way at the club and they responded with this. Can someone translate what they are trying to say with the expression?
