Note to self: Do not bake sweet potato fries, then put the half-sheet pan on top of Mr Man’s high-powered toaster oven and forget about it. 

Today’s fun fact: “When oils or fats are heated in cast iron at a high enough temperature, they change from a wet liquid into a slick, hardened surface through a process called polymerization. This reaction creates a layer of seasoning that is molecularly bonded” to the pan.

Good for seasoning cast iron, bad for baking pans and the person who has to chisel scrape scrub off that bonded oil.

Go ahead, ask me how I know.

The fries were really good though.
