Thread: Things your wives are not allowed to touch

Bombs away."

No?

I like to sharpen knives outside in the backyard. I left my stones on the table the day of a family gathering. Not a wise move.

It's not cast iron. They are inexpensive steel pans made in France by Matfer Bourgeat (spare me the comments). You have probably seen these used as Crepe pans in professional kithcens. They are beyond compare for coloring crepes and omelets and have superb non-stick qualities once seasoned (takes time). They are indestructible, but can rust and lose their slickness if not cared for properly. They need to be wiped and dried after use, just like a carbon steel razor. We don't use any Teflon in our house, thanks to these babies.

Somebody fixed it for me. Thanks!

Ok, that makes sense. Thanx for the explanation. But, the seasoning and care routine is very similar as that for the cast iron pan...

Yes, it is very similar.

YQW, Larry

My straights
My guns
Anything made of kevlar because she doesnt understand what it can and cant do
My shaving brushes and soaps which she has tried to steal.
My shaving mugs because she almost broke one
My scotch tumblers
My plants because she has a brown thumb

Just out of curiosity, JL, what do you have made of kevlar that your wife could harm by touching?

My wife is afraid of my guns, which is unfortunate, because I try to get her to run a light coat of CLP over the pieces every month or so while I am gone...but alas, I just have to clean them up every time I get back.

I let her touch my computer, but I have her own login for it so that important things can't be changed...I'm a bit of a computer geek :P Also, I don't let anyone else do my laundry, but I think that's more of a quirk than a protective habit. After all, I don't sort my clothes or anything...if they come out of the washer and are wearable, they have survived the harrowing

Yesterday was the best day to find another something to do...
