YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

No, this isn't a cast iron thing. Using stainless pans, you can get nonstick effects that, in my experience, far outperform Teflon anyway. The process is called "spot seasoning." I have cooked crispy, cheesy rice noodles with eggs with zero sticking.

I love my cast iron pans, but stainless is my daily go-to. Added bonus: use 100% copper wool to clean your stainless pan. The copper-coated wool at most grocery stores is problematic; you might get a few uses out of the coated garbage and then it starts shedding metal bits.

Yes

Idk what else to say so here's my favourite recipe

Ravitoto MalagasyIngredients:

Serves 8

1.5 kg beef

500 g pounded cassava leaves

2 large onions

6 cloves garlic

1 shallot

1 ginger

1 stock pot

salt, pepper

STEP 1

If you're not keen on pounding the cassava leaves yourself, you can find them in Afro-Asian grocery stores. You can even find them in the frozen section under the name 'saka saka'.

STEP 2

Cut the beef into large cubes, then sauté in oil until browned (about 10 minutes). Add a little water to cover the meat and cook for 20 minutes.

STEP 3

In a pot (such as a cast iron pot), brown the sliced ​​shallot in a little oil, then add the garlic and ginger.

STEP 4

Add the cassava leaves, salt, and a little more water and oil. Heat over low heat for about 30 minutes. Remember to stir regularly.

STEP 5

Peel and finely crush the garlic and add it to the mixture, continuing to stir. Let it heat for a good 10 minutes.

STEP 6

Then check that the water has drained. When the juice darkens, the dish will soon be fully cooked. The cassava leaves should have turned from green to black. Now pour in the broth and stir lightly.

The ravitoto is best served with rice.

oooohhh I was just in Nosy Be, I ordered a ravitoto once, unfortunately they didn't have the ingredients on that day. It's still a mystery to me. Mais j'adore le nom il me fait rigoler, j'imagine un mélange de Toto et du Ravi de la crèche

ah et je vois

1 ginger

je suis plutôt châtain j'espère que ça fout pas la recette en l'air

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Haha oui, en malgache ça se prononce presque comme raftoute !

Tu peux customiser la recette comme tu veux, l'important c'est le saka saka, je suis même en train de réfléchir à l'adapter en version vegan pour les gens qui ne mangent pas de viande!

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Saka saka c'est le feliki ? le manioc ?

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 2 points 3 weeks ago

Oui c'est ça, feuilles de manioc pilées, ça se trouve sous forme de boule surgelée

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is there a particular cut of beef that's ideal for this?
