I’m sorry you are disappointed! I’ve viewed some of your posts, but didn’t have anything useful to add.
I did research things I’ve purchased and how it worked out. In particular, some carbon steel pans, and the status of their “seasoning”.
Not sure if this is relevant, but I feel like somewhere, on some forum, I’ve been encouraged to search for old threads before starting a new one. Elsewhere I’ve been encouraged to start a new thread.
Seems like we discuss cookware/knives etc. when a subject comes up, like cast iron and enameled pans and such.
Oh well, I’m sure there’s a FB cookware group.
Welcome @Claus! I’m mod of Cooking Discussion. Yes, we have a small cookware sub board with a few members. It will be great that more CHers will be joining us to make it lively.
A new member @Kate92 has contacted us here to ask us to move the entire copper ware thread from CH to HO, I’ve started to do a test, it was me posting, not Sogn Spatula (not sure if this person is a member yet). It was just a test and I closed the thread to make sure there is no copyright infringement, as we are checking that now.
I think it will be nice if you can help by asking your friends to sign up to rebuild a community here. A good community needs a lot of effort and passion to build.
Let’s talk with @kaleokahu . I know he has reached out to some folks to come here. Kaleo, any feedback? Maybe we can do a welcome discussion just like Toronto and Paris did to get people warmed up too. Thoughts?
I’m here from CH. I’m guessing others will be here too.
I think we just have wait to reach “critical mass” before things look good. We might have to check here and post from time to time until HO reaches that stage.
I’m an old Chowhounder as well. I think HO will be just as good, but Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither was the cookware forum on CH. It will take some time for this site to develop; we just have to be patient and continue participating.
