Likely using dictation on an iPhone with “Penny” in contacts.
Because OP uses their Brain in unusual ways.
Through an incredible use of free will…
Thanks, Inspector!
A penny for your pots?
Idiot used super glue instead of thermal paste.
Welded together would be better.
Good luck lol
Nah that’s e6000, it dries more rubbery than superglue
Will it still offgas when placed in fire?
According to the MSDS sheet, it releases a “gentle, pleasing odor of cinnamon buns” when heated to temperatures above 600F, and also releases “micro-vitamins” into the air that your body can readily absorb.
Did they copy that from the msds of the Asbestos cigarette filters?
Feeling weird/outed this is a shitpost. Just last year searched for copper bottomed carbon steel pan for this exact reason. Didn’t find anything, but I still like the idea. Carbon steel is pretty shit at conduction.
Copper pans exist but they can be a pain to cook with. The high thermal conductivity means they heat up much faster than you expect, so it’s easier to accidentally burn stuff, and they also cool down much more quickly once off the heat which can also be annoying. Plus you need to worry about oxide formation and food sticking much more than you do with steel pans.
Also can’t cook acidic foods like tomatoes and vinegar if the copper pan is unlined. Since the copper will leech into the food.
They also have to be re-tinned somewhat regularly IIRC.
copper-plated zinc
Brass?
For most of them, yes. But if you get old enough pennies, they’ll be pure copper.
However, it’s easy to tell just looking at this that many of these pennies have the newer design, so they’re definitely only copper plated.
Piss on em. Real copper will turn light green.
You’re welcome.
They’re all real copper on the outside. Even the fake ones are copper plated. So the surface you’re pissing on is copper regardless and would show the same reactions.
If you want a simple way to find pure-copper pennies, you don’t need piss – just look at the dates on them. Dates before 1982 will be pure copper (with a few rare exceptions), and after 1982 are all copper-plated zinc (with one rare exception).
i first saw the thumbnail for this image and thought it was beans. because beans make gas.
I can think of two akshullies, but I won’t say them.
Look, you either keep these kinda thoughts to yourself, or expect me to politely ask you to indulge deeply all of your brain topic dump tendencies.
So how about them ackshuallies?
I think in this situation, you’d offer a penny for their thoughts?
You just had to go and put your two cents in, huh?
You couldn’t coin a better pun than that?
Inflation’s brought it to like 25.6¢ iirc
probably pennies are mostly zinc, and they are still having to heat the pan through the pennies, so it should actually take slightly longer?
The thing people like about cast iron is the heat retention on the bottom due to the thickness, time recipes rely on that latent heat. So thicker may be better.
AKSCHULLY I’m gonna need you to tell us those
a longer copper rod is less conductive than a shorter copper rod, because thermal resistance grows with the length that the heat has to travel. so adding copper pieces to the material adds no heat transfer abilities, it just makes the pathlength longer that heat has to travel, so it travels less well and has actually higher thermal resistance in total.
Hell yeah
Do tell us !
mostly zinc tho
Depends on the year, no?
Those should have been pasted with solder instead, right?
Solder is mostly tin, sometimes combined with lead. It would melt the very second you put it on the stove.
Toss it in the dishwasher!
The orange is called “flavor spots”
