I am going to launch DP into the SUN for this.

[Yesitsbess]

Ten years. TEN YEARS of careful seasoning of my cast iron pan and he has "cleaned it". With wire wool.

After I pay Elon Musk to devise a trebuchet large enough to launch him directly into the Sun, does anyone have any advice as to whether this is even vaguely salvageable?

Having looked a bit harder at your photo OP, can I say I think your DH missed a bit..

@AndStand I laughed in spite of myself then

@Yesitsbess it was better than that as I'd saved bones from various roasts of very nice meat from local grass fed animals!! And yes cooked it very lovingly it was amazing.... I will never let him forget it was like he'd binned our whole relationship 😂😂

Oh lordy! I have a huge stock pot (with a tap!) for that very purpose and I'm just trying to imagine my reaction to someone throwing my stock away.

I think I'd be behind bars...

@Meercat3

I'm loving this thread!I have dreamt of having a cast iron pan for many years. Can anyone recommend a good one?

I've got one you can have! Needs some work though...

@Mamanyt I may have done a slightly romantic sigh there reading about your sourdough starter.

The Christmas gravy!! DH did this to me once - I'd made enough to eat with all the leftovers for at least a week and he poured it all down the sink while clearing up. I actually cried.

Flashbacks! I “cleaned” my mum’s pan like that when I was 14, I thought I’d done such a good job getting it back to what I thought was the original colour 😑

I've been reading the responses and his responses started with "mumsnet can fuck off" and as they've gone on hes getting more and more sheepish.

Poor little orphaned baby pan.
First Daddy Wok, now Mummy Saucepan

I am very sorry for your pan pain, OP. My ex-husband was a very devil for pan abuse.

I like the food all gone when I clean a pan. So, my sympathies but I can see dh’s thought process although he did miss a bit! I just assume that thick black crust is 10% dog hair and 90% suet. (My mugs are white inside too).

He cut his hair with my fabric scissors.

My. Fabric. Scissors.

Shall we just both launch him into the sun?[/quote]
My DH used my fabric scissors to cut the stems on a bunch of roses and assorted foliage he bought me for our anniversary a few years ago.

No-one’s seen him alive since…

I'm with you on the seasoned pans. On the wooden utensils.

But this. Fabric scissors.

I'd go into an apoplectic rage.

Thankfully my husband knows better.

This thread has taught me that the solution is a padlock! And also that the perfect lasagne pan exists. And also that I have many many alibis should my trebuchet plan fall short.

Silver linings eh? JUST LIKE MY PAN.

The answer is this:

1. Strip it right down. You can do this by putting it through a pyrolitic oven cleaning cycle
2. Then you re-season it.

Reading this just made me go check my frying pan and griddle. They are safe... DH has learned from past misdemeanours.

@LegoCaltrops

DH & I are in agreement (a rare event). No excuse for this. DH suggests you get today's pan in one hand, the wok in the other, & flatten your DP for a better trajectory towards the sun. Frisbee style.

Loving this Pangate post. I'm cracking up here! 😂 🤣 🤣 I'm learning so much too!!

Hit him with it - then insist that the least he could do is buy you a new one learn how to treat it and get busy making it use able for you - and refuse to cook anything in the meantime

So after laughing out loud at this thread and reading the non sweary bits out to my children, my 8 year old has just said why would you soak wooden utensils? They will go yucky! 😁 Im feeling mamma pride right now (and breathing a sigh of relief that those utensils are safe in my house!)

That unforgivable

@IncyWincyGrownUp

A friend of mine now locks her fabric scissors together with a small padlock. Apparently having to deal with grumpy children and husband is much easier than dealing with fucked scissors.

I'm so stealing her idea. They cost a small fortune!

My ex once used metal utensils on my non stick pan. And then half a 500ml bottle of my limited edition ££ shower gel as "it smelled nice"
Yeah, that's why I don't use 250ml to shower, I mean who needs that much?!

They take their cast iron very seriously in the Southern US states

@Leeds2

He needs to buy you a new one. Although I will acknowledge his heart was in the right place!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

They think they are the next Gordon Ramsey, but usually have the cooking skills and palate of a labrador.
