Picked these up at an estate sale today. How'd I do? - Lemmy.World

Smaller one is a Griswold No. 8, marked 704H. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6b52b7ef-ece7-42ff-9226-f398bf32fa5d.jpeg] Larger one is a Wagner Ware 11 3/4 Inch Skillet, with a “10” on the handle. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c08dc352-46f8-4f6e-9f1f-dbd0982de5a5.jpeg] I managed to get them for $50 total. I can’t find exact matches online, but I think this is a good deal for these two. Is it?

American Electric Car Selector - Lemmy.world

We’re probably going to be buying a new car in the next year or three, and I’d be interested in getting an electric vehicle if we can find one that works at a price we can afford. I haven’t been super into the details of all the electric vehicles available now (and soon), mostly just scanning headlines and reading articles on tech websites that caught my attention. I was looking for a website with a filterable list of all the electric vehicles that are available, and I found the Electric Car Selector [https://electriccarhome.co.uk/car-selector/] and the Electric Vehicle Database [https://ev-database.org]. Both of which seem to do what I want, but both seem to be Europe based, which doesn’t help me a lot since I’m in the United States. Are there any similar websites with filterable lists of electric vehicles for cars available in the United States?

Jerboa ignoring default sort for communities - Lemmy.world

I have my default sort set to “Hot” inside lemmy.world. When I open Jerboa, it shows posts from my subscribed communities sorted by “Hot”, like it’s supposed to. However, whenever I open a community, it show the posts sorted by “Active”, and I have to switch to “Hot”. This is different from the main web site, which uses my default sort when opening a community. Changing the sort inside the app doesn’t change anything - the next time I open any community, it’s sorted by “Active”. It would be nice if Jerboa was fixed this so communities were sorted by my default sort by default. I’ve made (simple) Android apps before, so I can try looking into it. But mostly I don’t know the appropriate way to add an issue so it gets tracked and fixed eventually.

Tips for scaling recipes? - Lemmy.world

I have a recipe I’ve found and like making because the crumb regularly turns out nicely for me, but I’d like it if the final loaf was a little bit bigger. If I wanted to scale up the recipe to make a 10% bigger loaf, would it be fine to just scale up each of the ingredients by 10% and bake it a little longer? Is there anything else I need to do? Any sort of formula for estimating changes to baking time?

How to clean up carbon build up? Does it matter? - Lemmy.world

I was trying to apply a coat of oil to my pan after cooking when I noticed the towel catching on a whole bunch rough spots from carbon build up on the pan. So I took a chain mail scrubber to the worst parts of the pan, and managed to peel off a bunch of build up. But after a few minutes of scrubbing, there was still a lot of carbon build up on the pan (as you can see in the picture), and the remaining stuff is going to be much harder to clean off. So: Is there a better way to get all this stuff cleaned off of my pan other than elbow grease and time? Am I being foolish for trying to clean it off? Should I let it go and just cook?

Sourdough Beginner - Finally a loaf I'd happily make regularly - Lemmy.world

I finally got into the sourdough trend three years later than everyone else, after getting sick of paying $9 for a loaf I actually like from the bakery. But I was weird, I don’t really like boules because I mainly use sourdough for toast and sandwiches and want loaves that provided similar size pieces that fit in my toaster. And every loaf-pan recipe I tried came out super-dense. Eventually, I figured out how to make a batard, and a recipe that didn’t come out super dense, and I have something I would be content toasting for breakfast every morning. - Starter: I mostly followed the King Arthur Baking guide [https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/guides/sourdough/create], although I modified it based on tips from the /r/sourdough wiki to include ~25% wheat flour to get it to actually rise. I could probably reduce the sizes to waste less flour, but right now I’m at the point where I don’t want to mess with something that works. - Recipe: I mostly followed King Arthur’s Naturally Leavened Sourdough Bread recipe [https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/naturally-leavened-sourdough-bread-recipe], although I made some changes based on the high-altitude guide [https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/resources/high-altitude-baking] since my house is over 5000 ft elevation: add 1 tbsp flour, add 1 tbsp water, bake at 475°F for 35 minutes. - Shaping: I followed the instructions for a batard from this video for Pain De Campagne [https://youtu.be/UL6ogX38NcY?t=519], although I gave up on trying that recipe after multiple attempts that all had huge tunnels. It seems like something is wrong with how I was proofing it, although I don’t know enough to figure out how to fix it. And then I scored it cross-wise instead of length-wise, to try to get it to expand length-wise instead of expanding too wide to fit in my toaster. And I think it turned out well! Crumb seemed nice, no big tunnels, it fit in my toaster and tasted great with apple butter!
