What is this little pebble thing in my new Smithey?
Just bought a new 12 inch Smithey and when I brought it home and unboxed it I noticed this weird little pebble in one of the holes. It will NOT come out, its lodged tight. Has anyone else seen this before? Should I return it or just keep? I don't really care about it being there, but wondering if there are any potential cleaning issues or anything I might not be thinking of.

Inherited a pan from my late great grandfather. Why is it silver
as the title says. he was born in 39 and I'm assuming it was his mom's

im not new to cast iron by any means. but this is new to me. it's permanently silver wherever there's no seasoning. was wondering if anyone knew why?

it doesn't rust at all. like ever.

it's made by the T.eaton co.

any insights are appreciated

Sanding down was a massive upgrade
Hand sanded with some 60 grit to rip the seasoning off (bc I didn’t have flap disks) then used my orbital sander with 120 to smooth it out . That’s it took about 20 minutes total. I am not that handy of a person and I usually screw up jobs like this but it was so easy

Then I seasoned it 6 or 7 times over (this photo is the 4th pass I think)

Now nothing sticks to it anymore.

Scrambled eggs used to be a nightmare now I can just wipe with a towel and it’s good to go.

For me- it was absolutely a must do that I wish I did months ago on a cheap lodge that I had for 8 years or something. It feels like it’s wort 10x the price I paid (20 bucks)

thought i’d share my second cave scape :)

Just Found Out My Wife Is Being Relocated...Should Be Fun To Deal With
Note to future self....don't set up a goddamn aquarium in your basement next time.

My new ember tetra tank. Just stocked it yesterday! Hope you guys enjoy it.

At this PetSmart the aquarium staff tried to visually explain what you're getting into.
It seems like they're trying to be responsible.

The aquatics director at my local Petco is INCREDIBLE
She’s super knowledgeable about all sorts of fish and always gives wonderful information :) The other day I saw this set up!

This was served to us in Italy with our drink and other snacks. It was wet and kind of tart. What is this?
