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
A fuckin set of tongs that has some latching mechanism that doesn’t work so they stay permanently agape.
😤😂
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
This really grates my cheese
Why is it, when something stucks, it is always you three?
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
For me it’s the bakery gloves
What are bakery gloves? I’ve never heard of that before, and Google was not helpful.
Oven mitts
Literally had this 15 mins ago
I simply don’t put these in a drawer.
Forgot the upside down spatula.
And how else would you suggest we pay tribute to Anoia?
Rattle those drawers and praise her.
PRAISE ANOIA!
Oh merciful Anoia, guard our kitchens and protect our drawers!
