Inspired by r/eli5 and Casually Explained.
Now Lemmy Explain: Starting the "Now Lemmy Explain" community.
I've always felt like the name "Explain Like I'm 5" is patronizing (yes, I know, it's from an Office joke). I want to see a community that's better and more entertaining to read than how it was on reddit.
Now Lemmy Explain: The Rules:
- All post title must start with "Now Lemmy Explain: "

- Be excellent to one another, and have fun.
- If you see someone else do a great job explaining a particular topic, you are encouraged to cross-post it here, but be sure to credit the original poster for their contributions.

That's it.
A cast iron skillet is one of the toughest objects in your kitchen as is, you don't have to baby it, just make sure it doesn't rust, and the seasoning will build up naturally as you cook.
I put mine upside down in the oven to dry. We always did that when i was a kid because the pilot light would provide a tiny bit of heat to dry. Everything is auto ignite now, but i still do it and think of my mom and grandma every time.
Can you explain why leave the skillet upside down? I thought the temperature of the oven should be pretty evenly distributed, right?
To let excess water pooled in corners drip out
Oh, great tip! Thank you.
