They're common in italy but kinda retro. The base has a suction cup and it uses the nutmeg-style grating drum, so it's closer to powder/grit than planed shavings: https://www.casalinghishop.com/utensili-cucina/Grattugie-e-affetta-verdure/1795/GRATTUGIA-A-RULLO-MANUALE-FORMAGGIO-.html

Is this the thread that spent a full week talking about dishwasher detergent this summer? because there's a fairly hilarious and thoroughly half-assed mea culpa where he more or less admits he has no idea what he's talking about

He had the solution wrong (use two pods) but he had the diagnosis right - there is a problem for many folks who use just one pod, on a cycle which uses pre-rinse. His new recommendations are legit and I'm switching to powder as soon as my pods run out

Can someone tl;dr his new recommendations. I tried watching the video but couldn't bring myself to sit through 48 minutes of dishwasher detergent talk

I use pods because they have enzymes and the only time there are any food particles left after the wash is if i overload the chamber or have stuff pointed upwards or something similarly dumb. I rewatched the first video and he tests the pre-wash with and without detergent, but he doesn't test (or doesn't show) the results after the full cycle, which is all anyone should care about. Detergent in the pre-wash is unnecessary in all but the most heavily soiled washes. Also he doesn't understand that sodium silicate is an abrasive.

He admitted gels are better than powders if your dishes block the detergent gate from opening, or if the gasket on the detergent gate doesn't seal so the water leaks in & cakes up your powder.

BrianBoitano posted:Powder has enzymes too. He acknowledged the issue with his earlier test. I truly don’t think any of the things he talks about make much difference. Unlike traditional detergents, enzymes aren’t “used up” by breaking down food material, so it doesn’t make sense to increase the dose for dirtier dishes. (What could make a difference is giving the enzymes more time to work, either by using a longer cycle or adding enzyme to the prewash.) I’ve got the softest water imaginable in nyc and have not had any problems with leftover residue at the end of a cycle. The heat of a dishwasher cycle will damage aluminum pans no matter how much detergent you use, and adding detergent in the prewash isn’t necessary to get your dishes clean most of the time. I agree that pods don’t clean better but i still use them for the convenience, and the added cost isn’t enough for me to care about. Also he doesn’t talk about the one thing that makes the biggest difference to how your dishwasher cleans, which is making sure the dishes are separated and the dirty parts are pointed at the sprayers. That’s my real pet peeve with the video.

I think my dishwasher manual has a chart telling you how much detergent to use based on the hardness of your water (in grains/gallon). If you have water utility they usually publish the hardness. This random manual has it on page 9: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-4000218-1.pdf and says to use the prewash when the hardness is over 12 grains/gal. Or if it's extra dirty.

I dunno, we don't have hard water but we went from having a greasy residue and baked-on food on our dishes half the time after a complete cycle with tabs to functionally 100% perfect every time filling the prewash thing with gel.

After finally getting a kitchenaid stand mixer a while ago, I decided to splurge on the name brand pasta roller/cutter attachment rather than getting a knockoff. I had a hand cranked pasta maker a while ago that I ended up getting rid of when I moved, but man the kitchen aid attachment works so well. I made some ravioli for dinner today (specifically this: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/gorgonzola-butternut-squash-ravioli-51556041) and it was amazing and now i just want to eat nothing but fresh pasta/ravioli, lol.

It works really well as long as your dough is perfect in my experience. If it's slightly too dry it's easy to burn the motor out.

Going to the stand mixer attachment from the hand cranked roller was a game changer. But it can end up being a crutch for making mediocre dough.

Maybe my kitchenaid roller is busted or my recipe is (I use the one from SeriousEats) but my dough tears using the kitchenaid attachment when it never had such problems with my hand cranked Atlas.

I am gift-shopping for my nephew who likes to cook, I consulted his girlfriend and he has mentioned wanting a salt cellar. I don't own one but have previously gifted a wooden Crate & Barrel one with a swivel lid and magnet to my mother-in-law, so I would like to get a different one; I also found the magnet fell out of that one within a week, so I am skeptical of that design generally, which a lot of similar looking ones have. Seeking recommendations. My criteria are as follows:

I was gifted the same type salt cellar Alton Brown used on Good Eats a dozen years ago. It’s been great, one hand, flip lid, god size and etc… If you search Amazon for “Alton Brown Salt Cellar” there are a bunch of knock offs. I’m sure one of them is probably good.

If you run air conditioning, and you cook every other day or so, you don't need a lid to avoid clumping FYI. 7 years in Tallahassee which has an average morning humidity of 90%, and no issue

I just use a delitainer. Lid comes off when I start cooking, goes back on when I'm done, delitainer lives in the cabinet when not in use.
