  • I recommend this also, but put a REALLY thin coat on. Like you should think you’ve barely got any on, and you should then wipe it off and think you’ve wiped too much off. There is a lot of bad advice out there about these oils. You can put more coats on if you think it needs it, 24 hours apart. If you put too much on, it will tend to look matte, or worse, get gummy.






  • I used to work with a guy from Kentucky and he used to say “there’s nothing worse than an Illinois Yankee.” (I should emphasize I have nothing against Illinois, I just thought it was funny and an interesting counterpoint to your comment. BTW: am a Yankee.)

    Also, I work with a guy from rural Pennsylvania, and he sometimes describes it as Pennsyltucky.



  • I don’t really understand people getting out an unnecessary utensil to crack the egg. Put the pot you cooked it in in the sink and run cod water on it. Then just knock it against the inside of the pot to crack it. If you like the roll technique, roll it against the pan. Do this in the water; some believe cracking it underwater helps the shell release, tho honestly I’m not sure about that part.
