The knit stitch is kind of elastic.is there anything that doesn't stretch as much and isn't very difficult? I'm a beginnerWhat I'm making is a long, belt-like strap, that's like1 1/2 inches wide and it will be like 10 feet longI don't want it to have as much give as it would with a knit stitchAlso if you think I should use something other than the double cast on for this please speak up.
I typically start with a descent non stick sheet panThen make sure that stuff only gets baked on onceSoaking in water usually helps remove even the worst stuff releaseAdditionally, I have a plastic scraper that does wonders! Hope that helps.
There's no need to get them cleanThings bake better on the darker surfaceYou could cover them with a sheet of parchment paper while baking to help keep them clean or buy the t-fal ones.
Yep, the baked on crud is kind of like the seasoning on a cast iron skillet(The original non stick coating) You can clean it off if you want, but it is not necessaryA good pizza pan isn't great until it's almost blackThe stainless steel chore boy scrubbers and elbow grease are what we use in restaurantsPS Cooking sprays at high temps make a not so nice laquer on your sheet pans.
YOU are asking this question? My mom will not part with her old cookie pans no matter what they look like If you really are in need of spotless pans, I'd try to leave them in a self-cleaning oven during a clean cycleI don't know if you can use oven cleaner on them since I don't have a can of it to read right now I've discovered the pop up foil sheets fit my pans just right if I fold two together to make a seam in the middleThat way I don't even have to wrestle with the roll of foil at all! Gramma never got her sheet pans back to new-looking eitherI would think that unless it affects the flavor of the fresh food, the old crud wouldn't matter much to meI'd just live with wel-loved, well-used pans.
Actually, what you want more than anything to control the amount of stretch here is to knit with linen or with cotton yarn Or, if you want to knit in an animal fiber you could knit it wide enough and long enough to be felted down to sizeFelting also controls stretch to some extentIn addition, if you go to the Classic Elite site their free pattern this week included a knitted dog leash pattern that has knit in I-cord at both edges that doesn't have a lot of stretch in it.
