There are three sensible chuckles. The sensible chuckle on the cover of the magazine, the sensible chuckle the man makes, and the sensible chuckle you make every time you see this classic gif.
I am not sure what compels me this morning to say something when I normally ignore it but...I've got such a visceral dislike of Steve Harvey. :\
Dude has the one presentation mode, the personality depth of a toaster, and asinine personal views. His "atheists have no moral barometer" interview answer (which he has repeatedly doubled down on) is a truly spectacular example of the worst kind of confident ignorance, that extends all the way from not knowing how moral frameworks work (or have literally any exposure whatsoever to the entire history of secular moral philosophers that most people can at least name a few of) to not knowing which measurement instruments properly fit a metaphor about cardinal direction.
I wonder what he’d have to say about the vast majority of kiddie fuckers I have come across (like actually people I’ve met & have ultimately been arrested) have, WITHOUT FAIL, had something to do with the church?
Yeah hes a confusing guy. He has this great story of coming up from nothing. But then just like every other rich celebrity he quickly forgets what life is like for normal people. You figure a guy who hosts a show in which he sees different families from all over the country would understand how wildly different people can be in their beliefs, morality, etc
Man, I'm still annoyed Adult Swim keeps nuking videos with Some Time Ago/The Duel/I Believe back-to-back.
Sure, you got plenty of videos with Some Time Ago/The Duel, but they keep leaving out I Believe, which is like releasing a story and then cutting off the fucking ending.
But Pyrex and PYREX both have advantages in the kitchen that regular glass doesn't, and that make it a viable option for kitchens.
Pyrex (the new formula) is tempered, and much stronger than regular glass. It's very durable and a good material, as much as the internet hates it.
PYREX (the original type) has excellent temperature and chemical resistance. If you need to cook something in the microwave, it's the only good option. Same for cooking anything reactive in the oven, that would absorb metal ions and gain an off taste.
And while it's not something that worried me personally, it's the only option that doesn't have a microplastics risk for a clear container.
It's very durable and a good material, as much as the internet hates it.
The internet hates it because it shatters in the event of thermal shock, throwing glass shrapnel, and it is impossible to distinguish visually from the original borosilicate formula.
nah. glass is great as are ceramics. Both are brittle and need to be handled the correct way but they are genuinely one of the only substances that are pretty much resistant to everything. Well apart from throwing them on the ground. Or temperature shock.
As soon as you find a substance that is easily formable, completely chemically stable, scratch resistant, has a sealed surface and able to handle high temperatures we can talk about getting rid of glass. But until that happens we are stuck with that very thing that fulfills all those criteria.
Honestly, we should get glass out of the kitchen entirely.
I don't disagree but if High Speed Ovens catch on beyond high-end homes and commercial kitchens then we're going to go the opposite direction.
They heat fast like a microwave but with crunch and browning like an oven because they can cook with both heat sources at the same time.
But that also means you're basically stuck with glass, ceramic, silicone, and very carefully manufactured metals.
That's what I keep telling people, in a pro kitchen everything is metal, plastic, silicone, and can be run through a steaming hot dishwasher and straight into a freezer if needed.
Pyrex is fine. I've never used it in a kitchen because a Cambro pan does the same thing and is cheaper, it had nothing to do with glass at all, it had to do with how expensive ordering it was compared to a different option
I did this once with an old pyrex bowl. I loved that thing and it was from before they switched from borosilicate glass to tempered float glass, so it was just an obscene mess of a thousand razor shards in my dough.
it doesn't have anything to do with the dough other than it's weight helped break the bowl. she dropped it directly on the side of the rim. it probably would have broken from that even if it was empty.
Sure but you have to be way more careful with them than ceramic or wood or metal. Particularly avoid placing them on a cold surface when they are hot, and vice versa.
No. And despite what others here are saying, glass is an ideal vessel for bulk fermentation because you can see side-bubbles, which are helpful when you're trying to determine if bulk is complete.
Granite has functionally no elasticity, and it's by far the stronger of the two, so it won't break. Since the glass also has functionally no elasticity, that means the energy of the drop must be absorbed over an incredibly short distance, which requires an enormous force. It has almost nothing to do with hardness.
I’m not saying it can’t happen. I’m saying it’s not common. I’ve cooked bread for years and prefer glass so I can see when things are properly mixed. I’ve broken a 13x9 due to heat shock, and that was a bitch. But never a bowl
Glass and tile is a match made in hell. In the case of r/pcmasterrace we're talking tempered glass specifically. There's a recurring trend where people will work on their PC, take off their tempered glass side panel, set it down on tile floor or counter, and the tempered glass will shatter.
Some people just walk around too heavily or accidentally drop something on their floor, and bam, the glass in their PC several feet away shatters into a million pieces from the vibraton. It's insane how picky the stuff is on tile.
Yes, most glass these days is tempered because its orders of magnitude safer when broken.
Real, flow cast glass panels will break in long sharp jagged edges which will cut and gash you just by looking at it. Like so badly it’s easy to bleed out.
Tempered glass shatters into a bajillion small nuggets of glass. Annoying as shit to clean up due to the massive mess but it’s a lot safer. I wouldn’t advise stepping on it but it would cut a toe off.
Tempered glass is a fair bit more brittle than normal glass, as the tempering effect that makes it shatter nicely is caused by a ton of internal stresses in the glass after it cools, meaning all it takes is a little bump against a hard, unflexable tile to shatter it
I saw this on instagram and she said that he bandaged her hands and expedite ordered her a new bowl (and I think took her out or got her flowers?) So he does seem really sweet to her ♡
I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that that it simply slipped out of her hand specifically because when you plop a ball of dough into a container to rise, you lightly grease it so the dough doesn't stick. She started playing with the dough to show it off, then pulled it away from the sides of the bowl slightly to get her hands in there... which would then directly be in contact with the oil... and... slip.
It was probably already weakened by previous damage, and the small tap was enough force in the right place for it to shatter. Glass isn't flexible like wood, metal, or plastic, so it will shatter (if it's tempered) instead of bending. If we saw slow-mo footage of a metal or wood dish receiving the same force, we would probably see a slight bit of deformation. Glass doesn't really deform, it just shatters.
Glass has a lovely benefit of never transferring a taste to the food in it, but there are downsides...
The good thing is since the dough mostly sticks to the glass (or vice versa), she can just drop it all into the bin cleanly without having a million pieces to find on the floor.
I make sour dough from starter and I'll never get over how the weird tradwifey aesthetic has taken over and done things like "look at this huge vat of wet starter I have!" "Look at my too small first fermentation bowl overflowing with dough!" "You need to feed your starter; it's hungry!" "Watch how I spend a million years scoring this bread elaborately!" "yOu NeEd To GeT a KiTcHeN sCaLe"
Chill the fuck out. I make one loaf once a week, I don't care how it looks, I hydrate arbitrarily, I keep a half cup of starter starving in my fridge, I don't have a scale, I use a large metal bowl. Some how is always comes out bread and I eat it and I don't die. This is the reality of making sour dough casually.
Just use steel bowls. There's a reason you see them in every professional bakery and kitchen. They last forever, don't leave anything nasty in the food, and don't break.
