you can make sparkling water at home without having to buy it bottled. it's also good to make club soda for cocktails.
of course you could built yourself a carbonation system that uses non proprietary tanks, but it's too much of a hassle for most people. Also inconvenient and ugly as sin to keep in the kitchen.

I have never seen one of those before in my life but I'm assuming from the side they look like this. If you're a restaurant which might serve a lot of smoothies, it would make sense to have pre-made, chilled smoothies ready to dispense as opposed to having an employee prepare each one by hand.

It's a countertop convection oven. Or to be more bluntly a food-safe heat coil and fan. Most meals you make aren't a roast so it's for convenience sake. The only real options before that were countertop toaster ovens, microwaves, and George Forman's. (I actually liked pic related that was kind of a proto air fryer)

[Anonymous No.19829337]

>>19829300
It's a matter of what you're preparing the garlic for. If you're adding it into a sauce/dressing you better press it as it will release more garlic juice and won't end up leaving chunks of garlic. If you're going to saute the garlic, you usually want to chop it or even just crush it with your knife as pressed garlic will burn up way too easily.

you can press it with your knife against the cutting board until it's reduced to a very fine paste. Adding salt helps.
I simply use a microplane, it's just as easy as using a garlic press, and it's easier to clean.

That's more work for less fine paste in the end. Still more cleaning, too.

That works, but takes more time and you still end up with garlic fingers. Press remains superior. I don't agree on it being easier to clean, press is trivial as is. Literally put it under running water until skin falls out, there, clean.

You see, Americans can't stand the thought of a meal without meat in it, because that would make you a communist or something.
Every meal MUST contain meat, including breakfast, which means sausage and especially bacon. Average American consumes 18 pounds of bacon a year. So a pack of bacon every couple of weeks.
Letting the fat drip off means you consume less of the fat, so less calories, so more room for bacon. By the book anyways, which doesn't matter when you're not actually counting the calories anyways and just eating until you're physically too full to eat any more.

Funny I was daydreaming earlier today thinking about the mortar and pestle and how it's one of mankind's greatest inventions. There's archeological evidence of people using this technology thousands of years ago. Specifically, (and I can't cite any sources right now but do your own research) I once read that there's proof of ancient people in South America smashing chocolate and chilies together. Think about how "mexican hot chocolate" is trendy nowadays and it's all due to ancient people and their stone tools. We've come full circle. I'm pretty sure different groups of humans developed it independently too. Traditional foods pulverized with similar devices are present in Asia, Africa, the Americas...pretty much everywhere. It's also a symbol of pharmaceuticals which says a lot too.
