Cooking's a necessary evil for me so anything that makes it as simple as possible is a good thing in my book.

I'd maybe spring for the napolina stuff at least, some of the tube stuff doesn't taste of much. There's also that weird one that comes out like... garlic mayonnaise almost, and it doesn't fry properly.

I prefer cleaning the garlic press to trying to clean a grater. If you pop a whole clove in with the skin still on it still crushes fine, you get all the delicious pulp out and you can just peel the skin out of the press in one piece. Easy.

Jippa posted:I love chopping up onions as well (I genuinely have no idea why). There's definitely something cathartic about the process of chopping an onion. Especially since peeling them is so much more efficient and pleasant than peeling just about anything else. I don't know if onions are getting stronger or my tolerance has dropped but I can't get through an onion without some eye pain these days.

I have one of those things that's a sponge on the end of a hollow handle full of dishsoap and it's great. I do most of the washing up in the house(husband does the cooking) so I have Opinions about it.

I turn it upside down and run it under the tap on full blast which usually picks up most of the gunk.

Some of that Bourdain quote is expert opinions on cooking from a master chef, and some of it is "i put years of hard work into getting my garlic chopping degree at garlic college & now everyones like "oh use a jar","pre chopped" gently caress off"

Bramley apple peels and sugar (preferably made by shaking them together in a plastic bag) is one of the finest treats known to humanity and is reason enough to make an apple pie/crumble even *without* getting to eat the end product.

Jippa posted:I have to this day never figured out how to clean a sieve. Do you soak it for ages? The solution is the same as the solution to many domestic cleaning problems - old toothbrushes. Or, if you're a soft southern Sonicare owner like me, new toothbrushes bought at the pound shop. They're fantastic for stuff like graters, sieves, and anything with weird hard-to-reach places because their entire design purpose is cleaning food debris out of hard-to-reach places. Also useful for cleaning grout, sealant, and motorbike chains (although being incredibly lazy I have a ten quid Lidl electric toothbrush I use for the latter).

floofyscorp posted:What the gently caress are you people putting through your sieves that you can't wash off? After boiling peeled potatoes and straining them there ends up being mushy potato on the sieve. And if you use a sponge on the sieve it shreds the sponge. I just chuck it in the dishwasher, same with my cheese grater.

I always press my garlic, it’s satisfying to do and gives a more even flavour than chopping imo. I bought a potato ricer purely because it’s a huge garlic press and the idea of pressing a potato is fun (playdough for adults!), but I’ve made mashed potato exactly 0 times since buying it

Sieve is for separating fine particles suspended in a fluid (or de-lumping flour) whereas a colander is for separating water from large solid objects.

Can you craft things with an apple lathe? And what are the thread's thoughts on spiralizers? I have one, but it's stupidly large for what it does, and I've only used it a few times. I crush garlic with the handle of a large all-metal knife. (It is, in fact, my do everything in the kitchen knife) Angrymog fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Apr 20, 2020 |

I use a colander for things like spinach/salad and potato, but if you're using a sieve for chunkier things and you end up with chunky bits stuck to it that won't scrub off with a bristly brush just pick them out by hand tbh. And immediately rinse anything that's been in contact with potato or rice because when those dry out they become a pain in the rear end to remove - that's when the hard plastic scrapy bit of my spongehandle comes into play, or failing that, just my nails.
