Locked for now. Will reopen if there is interest.

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:

  1. All post title must start with "Now Lemmy Explain: "
  2. All topics are allowed (within reason) but try to avoid ones that will start a flame war.
  3. Keep your explanation concise and entertaining. Remember though, comedy is subjective.
  4. Be excellent to one another, and have fun.
  5. 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.

  1. Use hot water to wash away the remaining bits of food.
  2. If there are food stuck on the bottom, use a brush or a hard sponge to scrape them off.
  3. (Optional) If it is too greasy, use a couple of drops of dish soap and wash a bit more.
  4. Dry it out with some paper towels, or on low heat on the stove.

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.
