    What I am about to say is controversial I know but there is a lot of misinformation out there about seasoning, cleaning and more. I hope you’ll hear me out because I recently changed my rutine completely and are getting way better pans out of it.

    Now to it!

    What i see on the picture is NOT seasoning breaking off! It is charred on food. Proper seasoning is microscopic thin and smooth and quite resistant to a lot of things. But fear not! It should be easy to rectify.

    I would clean the gunk I see off with a steel sponge but with light pressure and I would use soap. Yes normal dish soap! If it comes off with dish soap and light brushing with a scrub (not steel) it is NOT proper seasoning and it deserves to come off. I only suggest steel now because you seem to have quite a lot of charred build up that I would takke off. On a daily basis i only use steel if i ever see a tiny spot of charred on food that is stuck. Any food left on the pan will inhibit a proper seasoning to build up so really do clean it. Modern dish soap does NOT destroy seasoning, that is only old style soap.

    But here is the important bit. Now the pan has absolutely no protection if there are tiny gaps in your seasoning and it will rust really easily ( especially because the sesoning is maybe not super good and if you used a steel sponge here the first time you might actually damage the seasoning a bit but that is not really a problem because we’ll repair it immediately).

    Always dry the pan with a teatowel. Make sure it is completely dry. (Note if the teatowel get dirty when drying it is not clean and it’s back to washing with soap and brush)

    Now use a drop of oil (basically anything will do but not olive oil I think) and use a paper towel to spread a super thin layer of oil. Take a clean paper towel (or flip it over) and wipe any excess oil off. You want barely any oil left. Only a subtle shine.

    You can now do one of two things

    One: If you trust your pan to have good undamaged seasoning you can just put it away.

    Two: put it on the stove and heat it up for 10-15 min on medium-hig heat. The oil starts smoking and this is where the seasoning is being created. The super thin layer of oil burns and creates a microscopic smooth surface of polymerized oils that binds to the steel. You can ONLY do this on a proper clean pan with no charred on food.

    Since I started cleaning with dish soap to get proper clean pans and a fresh layer of oil, I have pans that are so much more consistent and non stick than ever before because the seasoning can be created properly on a smooth and clean surface every single time.

    Der kender jeg godt. Min rækkefølge er nogenlunde sådan her. Spaghetti bolognese -> Tilføj en masse sorte bønner og så er der Chilli con carne -> tilsæt flere dåsetomater og så er der til sovs til lasange… Super prisvenligt.

    Holdte op med at læse nyhedssider for et par år siden og får det meste af min nyheds information via feddit og youtube. Her kan jeg selv styre hvad der dukker op og kan relativt nemt filtrere fra.

    Så snart der er noget om krig eller politisk drama i udlandet går jeg simpelthen udenom og trykker ikke på det. Der er alligevel absolut intet jeg kan gøre ved det og det ændre absolut ikke på min hverdag. Der hvor jeg er lige nu mentalt har jeg ikke overskud til at behandle de ting så jeg skubber det væk, går uden om eller hvis det er meget slemt blokerer jeg simpelthen fællesskaber som kun omhandler krig og ødelæggelse.

    Hvis du spørger mig om krigen i (skal lige slå op hvorhenne det nu er)… Israel, så ved jeg absolut intet om det og jeg er lykkelig uviden, for som sagt så kan jeg ikke gøre noget ved det.

    Tror det er sundt at fokusere på noget lige netop der hvor du faktisk har en indflydelse. Det kan være på arbejde, lokalklubben eller familen der hjemme. Fokuser på det som gør dig glad eller det som ikke gør dig glad men du kan gøre noget ved. Der som gør dig trist og du ikke kan gøre noget ved er ikke værd at bruge tid på.










  • der er så mange skilte som står helt tåbeligt. Har en kollega som for nyligt vandt en sag i retten hvor han havde fået en bøde for at køre ind et sted hvor der var indkørsel forbudt. Problemet var dog at skiltet med indkørsel forbudt kun gældel i nogle tidsrum og vigtigst af alt så kunne skiltet ikke ses før man allerede er drejet ind på vejen. Han vendte om med det samme for at køre ud men en betjent nåede alligevel at se ham og gav ham en bøde. Min kolega måtte ud og og tage billeder af skiltet hvorefter han i retten kunne vise at skriftstørrelsen generelt ikke kunne læses på den afstand krydset var i følge gældende standarder samt at man fra den vej han kørte ind slet ikke kunne se skiltet tydeligt grundet hjørnet.

    Skiltet står der stadig den dag i dag og politiet står der stadig og deler bøder ud.

    Through work experience ive come to understand that most normal people actually also only have surface knowledge of their supposedly specialist field, or it is so narrow and oddly specific that it doesn’t apply for real world scenarios. The difference being they are not aware of their own lack of knowledge and cannot believe that there are things they don’t actually know or need to learn in order to get better at what they do. There are far between actually good specialist who understands their own limitations.

    People with ADHD I know are much more aware of their own lack of knowledge and will do absolutely everything to gather ALL the knowledge they can and use that surface knowledge they have on a million topics to find applicable places to dive further into. However controling the brain about what’s “applicable” is the issue far an ADHD brain and where we need help to sort the gold from the noise. But it is an invaluable skill to have that curiosity and creativity and knowledge of a million things, it’s just about how you use it.





  • I 3-5 sekunders kadence tænker jeg f.eks. “vulkan, æble, rødgrød, ur, havet, rød, mars, træer” osv osv i et par minutter.

    Du mener… timer ik… Ik…? Det er noget jeg har gjort intuitivt siden barn. Har fra barns ben lavet de her visualiseringer når jeg ikke har kunne sove så er igennem årene blevet så god til det at jeg kan visualisere stort set alt hvad jeg ved og endda opfinde nye ting og kombinationer og konstruere komplekse mekanismer og se dem fra alle vinkler. Jeg kan vitterligt CAD tegne i mit hoved. Der er min største styrke som ingeniør men kan være et sort hul at falde ned i når jeg i virkeligheden burde sove.

    Men ellers mange tak for input, der er helt sikker et par ting mere du skrev som jeg skal kigge lidt mere på
