Mine is a collection of antique dental instruments.
I won’t tell you why, but I will say that it puts the lotion on its skin.
A fuckin set of tongs that has some latching mechanism that doesn’t work so they stay permanently agape.
This post has made me ask, why don’t we just put this shit in a different place?
Kitchen is to small
I have this one drawer that always hits something
- potato masher
- large pizza cutter
- basting brush with an annoying hook on the side
For me it’s tongs.
Ineffective ass potato masher.
A ricer is the ‘Yes chef’ way to do it, but I use this exact masher, when I do it I get lumpy mashed potatoes, but for whatever reason why my 10yr uses it they are silky smooth.
What would you recommend for mashing ass-potatoes?
Hand mixer, like a true redneck
The professionals use a potato ricer. Very fast, no lumps, and no risk of accidently making a glue, but you have to buy a potato rice, and change is scary.
Have you heard about our Lord and Savior the poop knife?
For ass potatoes you need a ricer.
Kinda depends how you like your potatoes. I generally like them a little lumpy, but I think the twelve or so of us in the lumpy crew nationwide lose that fight every Thanksgiving.
But! The ineffective ass potato masher does a real good job of breaking up ground meat in to super tiny bits in the pan for stuff like Taco meat.
I’m in the lumpy potato crew! Some texture makes them so much nicer. Also, don’t add so much milk: I want to taste potatoes
…… of course I also tend to leave the skins in, plus there may be garlic or caramelized onions
Head of garlic in to 2 sticks of butter on the stove, in to the potatoes when they’re ready. Skins and all.
Nommmmmm
Ineffective potato masher is an amazing taco meat maker. And sometimes you want lumpy potatoes, like you said. I prefer smooth but something like bangers and mash? It just makes it feel more a substantial if there’s lumps.
I use a perforated masher. It’s like the middle ground between this and a ricer.
I know I wouldn’t recommend one of those electric hand mixers, like the one that just has a tiny blade it spins fast (the ones that spin two “interlocking” things might do decently). The potatoes are too thick and the blades just end up pushing the potatoes away and spinning uselessly. I’d take the one pictured over that kind.
And tbh, I like that style because you can still get good smooth mashed potatoes and the masher is easier to clean vs the grid style ones. Though for either of them, the trick is to dip it into the dish water and shake it around (clear out fragile stuff first obviously).
(the ones that spin two “interlocking” things might do decently)
Can confirm, they do.
I don’t think “audio off” was ever a reason.
😤😂
you’d think i’d have learned by now not to put my potato masher in the drawer. but you’d be wrong if you thought that.
That’s uncanny. I thought I was the only one misplacing my German stick grenades like that.
Please refer to them by their proper german name stikkenboomens.
*Stielhandgranate, but yes it would be a much better potato masher than this sad mesh wire.
Thanks for the umakshualy, Captain Buzzkill.
Actually it’s lieutenant Colonel Buzz Killington to you, scrub.
Dang I can’t un-see that now. Its like the FedEx arrow.
a knife once got stuck in out kitchen drawer.
after an hour of trying to get that drawer open with an arsenal of tools we surrendered and smashed a hole in the drawer from below.
The new ceramic knifes which caused the incident were collateral damage.
Oh man, that’s why that drawer was so spiteful - it took its revenge out on my mother-in-law. Apparently it reincarnated as a bathroom drawer and schemed with the cat to close the bathroom door and open the drawer right next to it
I tried to help but it was too tight to even snake a wire hanger through. I ended up smashing a hole in the bathroom door
Doors can be replaced, dignity cannot.
The apartment I bought had cabinets with fake, decorative drawers on them. Except it turned out that one of those drawers wasn’t decorative. It was just stuck.
Inside there was a full set of silverware (as in literal silver) from the 60’s complete with the original receipt. It’s worth thousands of dollars. I guess whoever lived there before me was in no condition to pack and the people who packed didn’t know about the silver…
Gonna pull extra hard on my fake drawers tonight.
Psh when I open random stuck drawers all I find is jars of teeth
Do you have any idea what jars of teeth go for these days???
Better sell within the next six years, though, according to Japan…
Bro eating good tonight
This really grates my cheese
Expert mode is the tongs that were locked closed when they went into the drawer, and have now expanded 3x the size they should be
That’s the entire reason I use a wine bucket to house big utensils. I used a wide thin grill spatula and all of my patience opening that drawer.
The bucket is slightly bigger around and slightly taller than a cookie jar. It works great.
It used to work great in the old days. Now every utensil needs to have a bulky handle, and I’ve accumulated too many, so there’s just no room in that bucket
That sucks and I hate that for you. And I know how hard it is to throw them out because the second you do you know you’ll need it before you get a replacement.
We use a combination of a tall vase for the big top heavy stuff and an old Jaegermeister ice bucket that came free with something decades ago. Nestled within each other. Holds all of the bigger cooking utensils like spatulas, spoons, tongs, etc.
use another set of tongs to squeeze them shut while pulling
Look at money man over here. Showing off his two tongs.
Why is it, when something stucks, it is always you three?
Ty be fair, sometimes it’s the upside-down spatula.
I’ve been wondering the same thing profesor.
Don’t forget the tongs that’s missing the lock thing and somehow ends up standing up wide open.
I threw an entire draw of utensils across the room because of one of those fuckers.
don’t do that. dm me but don’t do that
YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM THE POTATO MASHA!
