  • On my laptops: Debian -> Fedora. Mostly because I couldn’t reliably use my external display on Debian, and because I needed wanted shiny new things. Also new hardware.

    On my gaming rig: Manjaro -> Nobara -> Bazzite. I left Manjaro because the system was slowly getting worse with each update, and I wanted to game, not maintain my system. I ditched Nobara after a botched version upgrade. Bazzite is fine for now.





  • That’s the neat part. You don’t need anything between cooking sessions. If you always cook with a bit of fat, the seasoning will build up over time and will keep the pan protected from rust. I deliberately reseason maybe a couple times a year.

    The truth is, cast iron and carbon steel don’t need excessive babying. My only tools to keep mine in top condition are a flat spatula and a thick bristled brush (natural fibers, no plastic as it could melt). After cooking, I always do the following :

    • Deglaze the pan over high heat and unstick everything left with the spatula
    • rinse, scrub with the brush, rinse again
    • dry with a dish rag
    • store somewhere dry
    • repeat the next day

    No need for soap, reheating, constant seasoning upkeep or oiling. If your seasoning isn’t flaking off, which it shouldn’t, it’s good to go. Even a few rust stains or gouges in the seasoning can be brushed off and seasoned over.
