You can use it for lower temperatures. (< 300°F). You can realistically go up to 400°s but I think it starts to do odd things when above 300°F (it’s been awhile since Ive used it so take that with a grain of salt).
It’s used in a lot of smoking/roasting applications to keep the moisture in. Just don’t let it touch the element and you should be fine.
No problem. Yeah, if your doing something like brisket, you can smoke it for the first half to get a good bark on it. And then wrap it in butcher paper to trap the moisture in for the second half. It’s to help prevent stalling.
I recently got “food wrapping paper” for bundling up sandwiches, it is still coated but has just enough stickiness left for tape to hold it shut.
Previously I was using parchment paper and if you wanted to hold it shut you needed to use a rubber band or run the tape all the way around to stick back to itself.
Someone posted this book the other day. I haven’t bought it yet so don’t know how good it really is, but I love the premise. Most of the revi9ews were positive:
One of the newest Brandon Sanderson books “The Frugal Wizard’s Guide to Surviving Medieval England” has a similar premise. It’s a novel so not a how-to guide so to speak, but parts of it are an in-world manual on how to survive in a medieval alternate dimension.
The premise has so much potential for entertainment. In some ways, one of the biggest game mechanics of Civilization (easily top 5 favorite games of all time for me) sort of relies on this idea - the tech tree. I haven’t pulled the trigger on this book yet, but I hope it is even 1/2 as entertaining as I envision. I might have to add the one you mentioned to my wishlist.
I used to have a beaten up old fuck feather pillow and you could mould it into any shape you needed, it was great! I miss my shitty old pillow, my futuristic pillow isn’t the answer.
I feel this. I just moved and a certain family member ‘helped’ me move by throwing away stuff that I’d already dropped off at my new place that didn’t meet their arbitrary standards including, yes, almost all the bedding. So now I’m sleeping through the hottest part of the year with the most unforgivingly thick pillows and the winter duvet.
I have a memory foam pillow (or something like that)for years and stays the exact same hardness. Would really knock someone out in a pillow fight with it. Best pillow ever
Silicone isn’t what makes parchment paper heat-resistant (and isn’t even used on most standard parchment papers). Cellulose pulp is treated with sulfuric acid to cross-link the cellulose molecules, making them more chemically and thermally resistant, and the result is parchment paper.
I would prefer you to be correct, because I am reading other comments that say some parchment paper is teflon coated. PFA pollution arising from PTFE production for pots and pans is bad enough, but to use Teflon on a consumable item should be an obvious “ban the fuck out of it already” action item. I mean, all PTFE production should be banned based on what we’re learning about PFAs, but for fucks sake, disposable items? EDIT: google says the vast majority of parchement paper is silicone coated, not teflon coated like one German asserts in another comment in here.
Because the only comment that mentioned Teflon wasn’t a part of this comment chain, so your response feels like a total non-sequitur in the context of this particular comment chain. I assume you were responding not just to the original comment in this chain, but also to the other unrelated comment about German baking paper being Teflon-coated (which was incorrect), but without anything directly connecting the two comments it just seems like you went off of an unrelated tangent.
WTF. I never knew this. All this time I thought I was being responsible using parchment paper. I did not know it was silicone coated damnit. Need to look for other options now.
Same. Hotel pillows are too thick for the head/neck. There should be 2 different pillows, a thick and firm one for hugging, and a thinner and softer one for the head.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Ben Garrison. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of political philosophy most of the jokes will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also Ben’s perennialist outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Nouvelle Droite literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Ben Garrison truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Ben’s antimodernist catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Solzhenitsyn’s Russian epic Gulag Archipelago. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Ben’s genius wit unfolds itself on their phone screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Trump tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Nah. Parchment paper goes into the oven, that’s another name for baking sheets. Waxed paper is used to wrap your sandwich. If you put waxed paper in the oven – well, see picture above.
FYI, some baking paper contains PFAS, the group of chemicals that also PTFE (aka Teflon) belongs to, which is… not good.
Been while since I bought waxed paper, is it cheaper than parchment paper? I’m assuming it must be or why wouldn’t you just use parchment paper instead?
Parchment is better for heat, wax paper is better with sticky stuff. My mom uses it to roll cookie dough into cylinders. Then she can refrigerate them and unroll it cleanly to cut into discs so she doesn’t have to form dough balls by hand. If you need a permanently-non-stick, moldable surface, wax paper is pretty good.
I’ve seen those under pizzas, but those look to be a thicker, cardboard type material. I just googled “can you put wax paper in the oven”. My 2 sec google says no. I’ve never had a reason to, but I’m not a professional cook.
Works better than non-stick, and keeps the pan clean enough for immediate reuse, which is really nice e.g. if you’re baking multiple batches of cookies for a holiday event
Personally I love the memory foam, harder pillow from IKEA I got for £15. It’s so comfortable that other pillows feel like shit compared to it. It’s not for everyone though
I went and tried the Purple Harmony pillow when there was a similar thread on Reddit ~1 year ago. It was fantastic! I wanted it sooo bad, but it was just too expensive. I did find out later that Purple runs sales a few times a year. Think the best was around Christmas and it was damn near 50% off. So, I’ve had it since Christmas and been very happy.
I’ve got a purple harmony pillow (medium size) and it’s okay. I feel like it’s too high for back sleeping and not high enough for side sleeping. And due to the nature of it it’s nearly impossible to try to mold to the shape I need. I’m thinking of getting a Coop tbh
Use www.sleeplikethedead.com to look up what works best for you. I went with latex pillows ten years ago and they’re still going strong, though starting to smell like latex recently. Probably time to replace them …
I’m on the buckwheat train. Tried different pillows and ended up with buckwheat. The pillow allows you to mold the shape to an extent which makes it extremely flexible. They also come in different sizes and good pillow sellers will either overstuff them or give you a bag with extra stuffing. You can open the pillow up (via zipper usually) to remove and add more buckwheat for even more customization. It’s just extremely flexible overall.
Jumping on the buckwheat train. I was terrible at pushing all my pillows into the bedhead and waking up with a bent neck before picking up one of these. Another benefit is they don’t get uncomfortably warm. It’s really nice that I can wriggle to flatten it out for back sleeping, or fluff it up to the perfect height for side sleeping.
Yeah. The American education system sucks. They tried to teach me French, but starting in high school is stupid, so I barely scraped by. Also, Spanish should automatically be taught in most American schools at this point from grade 1. It’s as much our unofficial second language as English is our unofficial first language.
