Garlic crusher

>>14758502
>>14758509
Less common than a knife or a pot you fucks

This, I think mine is faulty or I'm a retard. It just crush the garlic.

>>14758495
garlic crusher, used it like 4 times in 6 months then it broke lole

>>14759059
Don't buy things from China.

>>14759068
Guck you racist I bought their story on corona being an accident!

>>14758495
i tried using a microplaner once to grate some ginger but it felt like most of it just go stuck to the planer itself and it was a bitch to clean afterwards

>>14759090
This, grating tiny shit doesn't fucking work unless it's a hard substance like nutmeg. You're better off hand crushing then chopping finely anything soft like ginger or garlic.

>>14759077

>>14759059
lole

couldn't live without it

>>14759141
what's that? genuinely asking, never seen one before

>>14759172

I really wow the people at the Chinese restaurant when I pull this badboy out

>>14759195
Chinese and asian food is about the only thing it would be not-awkward with

>>14759172
Is it not a sink trap?

>>14759209
yes, it is a fork-hane

>>14759209
exactly, can't live without any of you, faggots

>>14759211
I see surfer dudes with tattoos like those

>>14759172
Looks like a cutting board "scoop" for like picking up things from flat surfaces, but the holes make no sense so I don't know either

>>14759237
This is a staple in the white household.

I use pasta fork almost as much as ladle, for both pasta and dumplings.

>>14758516
>>14758528
>>14759059
I just use the back of my knife, is there a significant difference in taste?
>>14759120
lel

>>14758495
Likely what I have its a toss up beween
1) A big ass knife, usually I use smaller more weildy ones
2) A potato masher, I just don't make that much mashed pertaters.

>>14758528
If that's a Zyliss it's supposed to come with a handy dandy little cleaning tool in the handle. Maybe you got some nigerian or chinky fake and then you have recourse... so sorry.

>>14759209
really?
why don't you go back and check

>>14758528
I feel like that just makes more dishes to wash.

I just like using my hands/knife to cut up garlic now that I found these stainless steel bars that you wash your hands with to remove garlic odor.

I'm pretty big into these

>>14761013
for me, it's the spoon

>>14759348
its like some took a bench/bowl scraper and make it look scientific for an infomercial

>>14760989
just give your tap a handjob, why buy a new steel soap thing

>>14760989
soap removes garlic odor learn to wash your hands properly

>>14758495

>>14761192
Oh hey, you got one of those $200 xl meat tenderizers

>>14760989
Rub your hands on your sink?

>>14761170
it does not. It genuinly does not break down allium thats gotten into your skin.

>>14761236
use dish soap dude

>>14759348
The holes are there to let the water out on the other side

>>14759211
What is this?

>>14762619
Aneros

>>14758528
huh, i have that exact model
what are the odds
>>14760740
it's literally faster to just push the remains out with your dishwashing brush

>>14762725
My cheapo garlic press has a removable screen.
Makes cleaning it super easy.

Honestly I don't know why I didn't get one sooner

I use these all the time now for general cooking and even eating with sometimes.

Idk how common this is, but manual food processor. Pulling the cord is so much more satisfying than an electric one.

>>14763434
also takes way less space
i want one, but i'm stuck with this massive electric early 2000's one that weighs a fucking ton with the motor of a lawnmower

>>14761013
what are those? i don't know what cutlery is

>>14763047
Fleshlight?

>>14758495
Can't believe that ppl exist that doesn't own at least one of pic related

>mince garlic with sharp knife
>wash knife
vs
>feed garlic cloves 1 by 1 into crusher
>scrape out leftover compacted garlic sheet and throw away, wasting 40% of each clove
>wash garlic press, probably having to disassemble it to get all the garlic residue out

>>14765239
yeah, I can tell you're american.
italian here and even the sharpest knife in the world can't unlock the more nuanced flavors that a garlic press gives you.

the contrast is comparable to pureeing soup in a blender vs a food mill.

>>14765285
that's why you crush your garlic with the blade before mincing, stupid europoor

>>14765297
crushing the clove is obvious when mincing it. the garlic press taste is still vastly superior to anyone who isn't a tastelet (non-americans)

>>14765307
if you can crush the garlic with a knife, why the garlic crusher?

>>14758495
silicon spatula

>>14763047
That's a good one. Also reminded me I am short of marinated garlic cloves.

>>14758495

>/ck/ watched that one episode of America's test kitchen where they all shill the specific microplane model and bought it.

>>14762217
>>14759141
>sludge cleaner

>>14765285
>sharpest knife

Now there's something you will never be called.

>>14765555
Was that episode from 20+ years ago? Because that's how long microplanes have been common in both home and professional kitchens.

>>14765209
It's generally people of "diverse" ancestry.

>>14765209
just use a veggie peeler

>>14765239
feed garlic clove in 2-3 at a time
take flat garlic shhet and put it back it, why would you waste garlic
rinse in warm water, or just normal water

how do you find it so difficult?

>>14759211
My dad always used this one when we had cooking time.

anyone who use something else is a certified pleb

>>14767465
What is this heresy, a veggie (do you mean potatopeeler?) peeler? Those don't have the tiggt angör, isn't sturdy enough and no it would just be a shitty result why not have a dedicated "osthyvel" for cheese as god intended (also certified for cucumber on a nightsandwich with mayo)

>>14767716
Is that a freakin' satellitedish isn't that what foreigners have on their balconies despoten IPTV being diet cheap, but why O.o
Germany has you covered like it always does pic very related

>>14768505
Honestly only working class people have satellite tv.

>>14765676
do you seriously blend your fucking garlic in a blender if you need like one or two?

>>14767716
what the fuck is that thing

I have a stone in my kitchen that I use to peel garlic.
