I cook those things too. Most people do. You can't cook these things

Nobody said that is the only way to cook them. You challenged Carol to
name one dish that people would cook in a pain that retains heat.

She said that people down South cook with heat retention. Obviously
that's not true. You could cook a roast by turning a very hot oven off
and letting the oven coast for an hour or so but that has nothing to do
with the pan. If I was cooking a steak or pork chop or pancakes, I don't
turn the heat off and just leave stuff in the pan. You don't do that
either.

You are deliberately overlooking to context.... cast iron frying pans. You heat them up and slap a piece of meat on and the give a good sear without the temperature of metal dropping.  Aluminum will heat up very quickly, but if you apply a large piece of meat it cools way down. That is why cast iron is so good for browning.

IMHO, David often overlooks or distorts the context.  He's becoming the new Sheldon. LOL

All of you.

Is it cooking and prep jealousy because all his dishes look like they migrated from a food magazine spread to your screens?

Is it the unvarnished love and joy he evidences in his "rock"and its peoples?

Do you all secretly wish you could praise your own local surrounding with such sincerity, yet somehow you just can't too that horn and again jealousy at his joy oozes out?

Or is it the trickster's gentle smirk you mainly get from him as the Tojo taunt racism endlessly washes off his back with nary a blood wound for the venom you attack him with?

Is it because despite never quoting a line of scripture he somehow manages to live Christ's principles of tolerance and forgiveness without lashing back at you in kind for your depredations?

There's 5 unassailable insights for you all to run away from, but the indictments are served and in the Creator's possession, so you fume at his not being a regular "Popeye" here and lick-spittle cursing your sorry selves back to the demented bullying pit you've made for readers here.

Rather a sad lot you all are as you reminisce over Sheldon's antics or Kuthe's sex life, desperately seeking the confliction that fueled your inner fires of hatred and self-loathing for lo these many years.

But that would take an admission of the mess you've made here, and some move to heal the tonality and you just can't bring yourselves to trade conflict for camaraderie, not without someone being "voted off the island".

 Well argued and well written. I'm looking forward to the response. =)

Thanks for that, the optionality of this place as a slaughterhouse for divergent culinary preferences is one abattoir we should all drive past without stopping to look inside.
You and David have done yeoman work to guide gentler discourse, yet neither my battle axe nor your high road have produced lasting results.
It becomes then impossible to separate this from the global divide of right v. left as our planet takes a final binary bow out on hominid evolution.
Not the first time that hatred has cycled through here, not by far.
I guess it's like podcaster Jimmy Church's sig line - GoBekLiTepe baby!
