On the Food network they boil potatoes, but they poach carrots. They poach turkey, but they boil eggs. They sauté’ onions, but they fry eggs in the same pan. Likewise, they fry hash browns, but they sauté’ onions in the same pan before adding the potatoes....
Poach equals lower temp liquid. It can be oil or water type liquid. Boil is maximum temp water type liquid only. Blanching is boiling for a short time with the intention of not cooking all of the way through (eg to get skin off or to prepare for preservation by freezing).
Fry and saute are used interchangably all the time. One person’s fried onions is another’s sauted onions. Saute should indicate small pieces turned or tossed in a moderate amout of fat. Fry can be small or large pieces and can have moderate to lots of fat as a cooking medium.
Note that this is how normal people in my region and life use these terms and I make no claim that this is ‘right’ just my experience.
So essentially I want to buy one pan, I don’t want to care about what utensils I use in it (metal, plastic, or wood), or what I cook in it, and I want to clean it easily by just putting some soap on it, using the rough side of a sponge and drying it off and tossing it back in the cupboard....
What you’re looking for doesn’t exist. You are going to have to make a compromise on clean up, upkeep, and/or durability if you just want one pan. I wish it wasn’t true, but non-stick fails, cast iron (and carbon steel) requires upkeep, and stainless (or high quality aluminum) can be hard to clean.
The toyota camrys are cast iron and stainless steel. They aren’t always pretty, but with the right care they will last 3 generations.
I personally would rather just have stainless. Non-reactive, light, clean however you want, and it will last. The enameled stuff I have used wasn’t easier to clean, and it scratched and chipped (and I am careful with my pans).
I’m a fairly casual cyclist doing mostly road/gravel cycling with random spurts of MTB trown in the mix. I’ve been using Garmin forerunner watch as my stats gatherer, but recently I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a dedicated cycling computer....
I was going to just say an old android phone, too. It has all the computing power of any garmin, a gps that’s probably good enough, a huge app catalogue, can be super cheap, and you don’t have to deal with whatever crappy ui garmin designs. I guess it all depends on use case…

I’m in the process of renovating our basement for use as a home theater, and I have space to put up eight distinct movie posters.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear, so just tell me to shut up if you want. But, this feels a little performative. You must know and like movies in all of those catagories. Why not pick your favorites and go with those? I expect you’ll enjoy the end result more than ‘classics’ with no specific meaning to you.
I mean, a state that is forseeing a election which an opponent party will likely win, could just pass a law before the election that says “The state legislature shall have the sole authority of appointing electors to the electoral college for elections of president and vice president” and if they have an already...

Here is a graphic to help visualize the unprecedented rate of temp change. Data source for temperature is cited and likely errors are explained. xkcd.com/1732/
Yeah, you’re right. It would be even more obvious now if it were redone. I specifically like that one because it invites people to scroll through the time axis slowly and on a linear scale. It makes the recent changes more real than the same graph fitted to a screen and seen all at once.
I think this community is for requests for existing communities that have lost their caretakers (and you need an admin to assign you permissions). If what you want doesn't exist you can make it and be the owner by default.
Yep, already there. That's why I am jumping in at all on thing like this. I definitely don't qualify as any kind of expert, but I can try to keep some of the easy level questions off the admins' plates.
Hey Linux. I try to install Regata OS on my POP OS pc, but the pc vil not boot from the iso i have downloaded on a flash drive. What have i doing wrong
To explain more, an understandable and common mistake is to just move the .iso file to the flash drive. For it to work you have to write the information contained in the .iso file (aka image) to the flash drive using an app like the ones listed above.
I don't doubt the difference in the numbers, but there is a deliberate scale error. An Escalade is over 17ft long. The blind spot as drawn is drawn longer than the vehicle, but labeled as half its length.
For me this kind of visual trickery undermines a totally valid point. I can see why it might raise BS alarm bells for someone looking at it even if they can't put their finger on what exactly is off.
