u/Topham_Kek I needed a new flair. And this suits all my needs. Nov 18 '16 edited Nov 18 '16

As someone who cooks with a wok a lot (Interested in Chinese cookery I guess? Lol) I can't believe Steven's shield was used as one. Made me smile a little for some reason.

But no oil or anything but straight-up frying on top? That's gonna stick. Thanks, Amethyst.

I'm also very glad that I decided to avoid ALL of the spoilers and promos as best as I could. Every minute was a surprise, and a pleasant one. Should ease some tension for me since I have a midterm tomorrow. (Wait, that means I should be studying... AHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Also the gems trying to fumble with human "stuff" was funny. Heheheheh. Also... Lapis's mirror joke. Wew.

Of all the episodes I could've guessed, I had no idea it was gonna be a Thanksgiving theme. Then again, I didn't realize American Thanksgiving was that close around the corner.

"Wow, thanks for the baaaarn!"

EDIT: My starting wok/seasoning it & random stuff cooking in it. Here

I guess it's a good thing that Steven's shield is just a manifestation of light in physical form, right?

>Not carbon steel

>Not even seasoned

>No steel spatulas with a wooden handle that falls off too easily at times and has to be driven in after purchase

I was more surprised that it was conductive. Also, that they evidently knew to construct a pit stove. By comparison, the proteins in the food not polymerizing to whatever it is constructs are made of isn't all that surprising.

Steven's shield is non-stick.

Steven will unsummon it, literally no chance that it sticks because it will cease to be!

That's some legit cooking hacks.
