Foodborne Chillness

What happens when you run a cast iron skillet through the dishwasher? I'm going to find out. In this video, I make some eggs in a vintage unmarked Lodge 3-notch #5 pan (with only so-so seasoning - it's a user, not a showpiece), then run it through the dishwasher. Will I still be able to cook eggs in it, or have I ruined it forever? Watch and find out...

I recently got an inexpensive portable induction 'hotplate' and I've been testing it out. While it definitely won't replace my gas stovetop for most cooking tasks, it's amazingly fast at bringing water to a boil, and unlike my high-BTU burner on the stove, it doesn't dump a lot of waste heat into the air in the kitchen doing it. Click to watch the video and check out how quickly it brings a pint or so of water to a boil so I can enjoy some delicious Cup Noodles... Here's the model I bought: https://amzn.to/2SQ1WNI
