You could just buy a utensil crock and never have to worry about it again.
Also box graters go in a cabinet, if you don’t have cabinet space and just keep it in a drawer then get a flat grater (it’s not like you use the other sides of the box grater anyway).
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.
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.
😤😂
A fuckin set of tongs that has some latching mechanism that doesn’t work so they stay permanently agape.
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.
Ineffective ass potato masher.
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.
Have you heard about our Lord and Savior the poop knife?
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
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 don’t think “audio off” was ever a reason.
This really grates my cheese
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
YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM THE POTATO MASHA!
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.
I simply don’t put these in a drawer.
That fucking potato masher. My fiancee uses one of these. Just use the damned egg beaters! The machine packs away easy and the mashed potatoes are super light and fluffy.
I’m not sure what kind of eggbeaters would survive smashing potatoes, but I’ll live in fear of them from now on.
