I watched Schindler’s List for the first time a couple weeks ago. I have no excuse for why I took so long to get it. It was excellent, of course. Never seen The Wire. I’ve liked other crime drama series in the past.. Breaking Bad, Sopranos, Ozark, etc.. But no description of The Wire has been enough to convince me to start it. I’m sure it’s great but I’ve just never felt pulled in to it.
I did the Easy-Off method on a Lodge once and it was a pain in the ass. It was a total mess and still a significant amount of work. Later I did the oven method with the self-cleaning cycle and found it much simpler and more effective. A few people have reported cracking their pans that way but it seems to work fine for most, and has worked for me several times over the years. I made breakfast tacos this morning in my Smithey cast iron and the scrambled eggs slid around as good as any non-stick.
