It’s not entirely clear how cannabis hyperemesis syndrome occurs though there are several theories. One is that since cannabinoids have long-half lives and are lipid soluble, they accumulate in the brain and over time cause symptoms, particularly in young people who may have genetic variations in enzymes which lead to further accumulation. Another theory is […]

You season a cooking pot?
Personally, no. I once owned an iron skillet that I was attempting to season until someone washed it. Both of my woks are unseasoned.
I don’t understand. What is seasoning a pot or pan or skillet?
Seasoning a pot/pan/wok involves heating cooking oil at the beginning, wiping away excess oil, and allow the wok to cool. Once you start cooking food in the wok, you never use soap and water to clean it. You wipe out the food particles, add oil, wipe again, then store away for the next use.
I think that’s how my late friend used to treat her cast iron skillet.
After multiple uses, the wok develops a coating of oils and adds flavor to any future meals cooked in the wok. It never gets washed.
Isn’t that a breeding ground for bacteria?
I think the heat would kill the pathogens
Of course!
