@ergomeh Amusingly, my old aluminum pans all look like crap due to the harsh dishwasher detergent containing lye, but it doesn’t really bother me because I replace them when the nonstick layer wears off, not when the aluminum stops looking shiny. I could have hand-washed or used a detergent without lye…but I like my stuff getting clean without effort. When I want to carefully maintain something in excellent condition that I can pass down I have cast iron.
@troy@yakkoTDI Nah, then someone may get the idea to post my texts to ChatGPT poisoning the training set and causing high-schoolers to get D’s on creative writing essays because they are gibberish. That would be a lot to have on my conscience.
Does anyone know about the side deal knife set, the pictures and number of knives aren’t adding up? Shows six steak knives but says 8 included. Names five different style knives but shows empty block with only four slots but full block has 5 knives plus the six steak knives.

Where is the kettle?!?!
Is this what they used to market as the sear non stick unison line? I have a Dutch oven from that that lasted a good decade of at least weekly use
“AI” users be thinking they’re chefs after they steal all the playdoh and mix it together to make “all the colors”.
@DrunkCat Is that how they used to cook for you?
If only there were some mention of whether these are dishwasher safe…

Hey, no fair negating my comment by editing out repeated dishwasher mentions being repeated.
@ergomeh It’s totally fair
@ergomeh @troy Always take screenshots for evidence.

@ergomeh They’re nonstick, so there are two possible options:
Pan’s Labyrinth, good one. A lot catchier than “Dutch Oven’s Labyrinth”.
40% longer than what?
@ItalianScallion
…Something 29% shorter…
@chienfou @ItalianScallion I was told there would be no math.
@ItalianScallion @pmarin
You were obviously lied to…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Note these may be dishwasher-safe but induction-hostile. They won’t blow up or anything, but your burner unit will just say “nope!”
@pmarin I can’t say for certain, but “hard anodized” makes me think they are aluminum which would indeed make them not work at all with induction.
@brennyn @pmarin
It’s also glaringly absent from the compatibility list.
Sadly (for Meh, not for me) we went induction a couple months ago, so these are a big ol’ “Nope!”
@Foobarski
short of cooking with gas, induction will be my next choice.
Are these “forever” chemicals or not?
@Kyser_Soze
From the calphalon website:
@chienfou @Kyser_Soze I like that the cast iron cookware only contains iron.
@chienfou @Kyser_Soze
Yes, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), also known as Teflon, is a type of PFAS
So yeah this is chaulk full of forever chems
I own a set of these and they work fine. Nothing special but good for the price. Just be careful as the handle covering is easy to reach past.

@jweber1145 Did you see that troy answered this in the knife thread? The photos with only 6 steak knives are wrong.
Okay but Jesus Christ did you have to come for me so hard at the beginning of that? Yikes. Ow… damn…
Oh well.
/showme An induction-hostile frying pan
@mediocrebot Dear Bot, I don’t get it.
Garbage. Just get some stainless steel! Lasts literally forever…
That last picture is, as intended, hilarious. Unless I am completely incorrect, that’s Pan’s Labrynth. I love it.
@jst1ofknd Ohhhh - I definitely didn’t get it. Hah!
@Kyeh
It’s a good movie. Weird and with English subtitles, but good.
@jst1ofknd I’d heard of but never seen it.
