/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

I prefer to think by the 23rd century they’ve perfected material sciences so they can make a pan that doesn’t heat the handle when heating the rest of the pan.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

That's actually a very realistic take. Nice thought

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

This is usually not a material sciences issue, but a skill issue. Quit putting the handle over part of the hot burner!

Nah, if you use cast iron without the silicon handle covers you’re probably walking away with a burnt hand.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I don't even own silicone covers for mine, grab it all the time.

Only exception is if it's been in the oven.

Convective heat transfer wants a word with you.

It exists today.

Cast iron works this way.

Aluminum with riveted cast handles does too.

And well-made stainless does too. We regularly comment how surprisingly cool the handles on our stainless cookware never gets hot, even when boiling water for 10 minutes.

Cast iron handles get hot as fuck, what are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Am i using my cast iron wrong? That handle gets pretty hot

All Clad says their some of their pans don't need them, but I don't trust that enough to test seriously.

[–] realbadat 2 points 7 months ago

I have their pans that claim that.

Don't trust them.
