    Mine doesn't even know where they are.  But they are heavy.  Still a pound or two shy of cast iron in most cases.  But that 32 cm De Buyer pan is 3mm thick and definitely pushing cast iron territory.  

    The other thing is the Lodge skillets are taller-sided pans, almost like a Saute pan, and you tend to use them in-place almost like a dutch pot.

    The carbon skillets are shallower and slopey, so you tend to pick them up more like a classic frying pan, and thats not easy when loaded with food.  They also dont have the dual handle like Lodge CIs do for heavy carrying.

  2. My wife just called to rant about workplace stuff and told me something that made me proud. 

    She said, "you know, im a woman, but I *hate* working with women".  I almost teared up.

    I heard similar sentiment from other gals in the workplace. Women: 40% of the employees, 80% of the drama.

  3. I have DeBuyer for carbon.  They're really fucking heavy though and I would advise you do a wife-check before deciding to buy such things.  (Mine doesnt touch them).

    Darto is an option out of Argentina. We have local distribution from a bunch of Spanish manufacturers of carbon pans and those are good too... I mean its just a pressed/spun disc of carbon-steel material afterall.

    Also, one of my lifelong fascinations is the amount of technology (engineering and ingenuity) that goes into manufacturing even a prosaic, no-moving-parts item like a cast-iron skillet.

    manufacturing science/eng is fascinating.  thats why those 'how its made' videos are so popular. the older i get the more interested i am in topics that wouldve bored by teenage-self to death.

  5. from the age of 0 to Mike Gundy i had basically a hulk-like resistance to any pharmacology.  didnt flinch from a jolt cola, couldnt relate to a 'sugar rush', coffee had the affect of water, nose candy smelled fake.  i basically never got sick, so never had to be prescribed any medicine... though in college even dabbing with occasional rec use of things like vicodin and xanax didnt seem to do shit either.

    i dont know what was it about turning Mike Gundy that changed things, maybe it was catching covid the one time, but now im finally sensitive to all that shit. i just sipped an afternoon espresso and it felt like a 9v battery wired across my ears.
