/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.

Cast iron spreads heat evenly. If you but it on a stove the handle will get hot.
With that being say the "modern" cast iron pots have insolated handles
Cast iron's heat transfer is quite poor. It's about 1/5 of aluminum and 1/10 of copper. You can test this yourself if you have a laser thermometer. Heat the pan for a bit and then scan the pans surface with the thermometer. You'll see a fair amount of variation.
That would mean it wouldn't be suitable for cooking. Proper cast iron spread out heat very well, that why it is used.
I think people understand this property and rotate the pan to get an even hest distribution. Any case ... Could be wrong, but I looked up the heat transfer coefficient and its a fraction of copper and aluminum. On the other hand, it's really good at staying hot once it gets hot.
Here's a thorough answer on an engineering stack exchange.
