Hey op! Where can I buy one of those!?

>>11821717
Amazon for between $9-15, or get in your car and drive to a Williams-Sonoma/Sur La Table/Le Creuset and pay $25 like the smart consumer you are.

I use my aeropress to strain solids from liquids. I also use it to squeeze the water out of grated potatoes for has browns

>>11821751
Is the construction sturdy enough to really press water out of stuff? I'm making koobideh soon and the recipe calls for "squeezed" onions, which ordinarily I would achieve after mincing with a cheesecloth and wringing it.

>>11821717
i suspect that the target audience for that sort of appliance would be the 420 DUDE types of people. it even has green handles.

>>11821751
those are great for seperating egg whites form the yolk. try it.

>>11821768
To be completely honest it probably works just as well as squeezing a cheesecloth. It would probably work for onions but don't expect to extract juice from berries or anything like that

Have you never seen marijuana being prepared for smoking? What country are you from and how old are you?

>>11821819
I've never disassembled my shears in the decade or so I've had them around. And both utensils are made of stainless steel anyway, how the fuck do you plan to get them rusty?

>>11821820
>i want to get to know you
hi!

how do you prepare your weed? i've seen someone chop it with normal scissors before. he was quite good at it too. i just assume this contraption would be more efficiant. no?

>>11821861
Real hard core potheads use weed grinders, they look like little pill boxes but they have a lot of interlocking pins inside. More casual users just rip it up with their fingernails.

Scissors is just weird. That's why I asked your age and location. I know in some countries recognizable marijuana buds are not a thing, and everyone smokes hash oil or something.

>>11821861
>DUDE

>>11821874
>WEED

>>11821874
I've known a few stoners in my time, every one of them has chopped it up with scissors straight from the kitchen drawer

>>11821820
>LMAO

>>11821874
i think that scissors are just easier to carry because if you get searched by guards at a train station (pretty common here) then scissors don't qualify as a weapon which would be an idditional charge on top of posession of cannabis, etc.

i'm talking about experiences of my youth twenty years ago. don't touch the stuff now, of course.

>>11821915
I don't smoke either, but I think we solved the mystery:
>of my youth twenty years ago
There are plenty of 40 year old boomers who smoke weed, you just don't know any. My guess is 2-3 kids and a trade job where they do drug testing, so everyone in your social circles is paranoid about even being in the same room as a joint.

>>11821952
40 is gen-x. boomers are my parents. i do know peers who smoke weed erryday but it just doesn't appeal to me. i'm what your gen would call straight edge. don't drink, smoke, choof, or do any illicit drugs because i get my high from endorphines and adrenalin by riding bikes really fast and fucking ur mum.

you can call it that. do you?

also, are we gonna have sex after this? because i'm keen.

>>11821970
My mother is 73 years old, but I'm sure she'd be ok with having sexual relations with a young athlete. She certainly talks up her trainer at the gym.

>>11821768
If you plan on using it for coffee again afterwards I wouldn't. The oils in bulbs like onions and garlic will stick around. Cheesecloth is better.

>>11822003
>mum is 73
i wear her piss flaps like ear muffs

gais pls

I just wanted a nice discussion about unitaskers, not marijuana and motherfucking

>>11822038
Blame the 40 year old boomer for trying to fellow kids his way into this thread.

>>11821717
I love my apple slicer. I have used it on hundreds of apples. Never fuck around with seeds or the nasty hard parts surrounding the seeds again. Perfect slices in seconds.

>>11822062
>trying to fellow kids his way into this thread.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Beat me to it.

>>11821897
Weed is really resinous, so it'd mostly just clump up between the blades on this thing. Normal scissors are fine.

>>11821717

My friend got me a pair, completely forgot about it. Now looking at this thread, it would have been perfect while I added some green onion to ramen rather than dirtying a knife and cutting board.

>>11821841
>Stainless steel can't rust

>>11822789
> stainless steel kitchen tool sitting in your drawer is ever going to rust

Good critical thinking skills, faggot.

I am but a humble home cook but I guarantee I can chop herbs faster than this meme shit can cut them. Stop wasting money.

>>11821874
In Berkeley everyone has grinders, unless they don't smoke at all.

>>11821897
Maybe you're thinking of trimming?

>>11822003
Elon?

>>11821717
why are you here if you're even considering these
>>11822038
a knife is the most competent unitasker you will ever own

a noose is a perfect untitasker if you get it right

>>11822859
You never need to be arsed with getting out your knife and cutting board (or re-cleaning them if already out as part of your meal prep) to deal with herbs ever again. There's no way that's the faster method than a person opening and closing a pair of scissors for five seconds and then running them under the tap.

Go to bed grandpa.

>>11821874
In California I’ve never seen anyone use scissors except in desperate measures, everyone has grinders.

>>11822946
>there is a sittuation where I wouldn't need a knife but would need fresh herbs
Are you delusional or just retarded? If I've already got the knife out, a few herbs aren't going to be any extra trouble. If everything else is pre-made or pre-packaged, I wouldn't need fresh herbs. Let's be real.

>>11823031
>needing a knife for an omelet

>>11821717
Those are shit because they require more aim than a knife for uniform pieces, but unironically, scissors (kitchen shears) are an extremely useful tool

If you made a heavy dude one of those that could cut through flesh and small bones, it'd be amazing

>>11822936
unitaskers do the things that knives do faster

If you're peeling potatoes, it doesn't make sense to use a knife (not that vegetable peelers only peel potatoes)

If you cut a lot of apples, it doesn't make sense to use a knife

also, that's literally not what a unitasker is

>>11823043
what do you use to cut the ham?

>>11823043
if your omelet just eggs and herbs?

>>11823061
>unitaskers do the things that knives do faster
Only if you have super-n00b knife skills

>>11823031
This happens all the fucking time, what kind of chef are you? Or did you even read the thread thus far?

>creating marinades
>churching up cheap ramen with green onion
>chives for french scrambled eggs
>fresh cilantro for finishing all manner of dishes

Oh look I never touched a knife in any of these perfectly common scenarios. Furthermore, if you DID already have your knife and board out, they still need to be washed first anyway, and you're still losing time like a chump.

>>11821970

I was going to buy the multi scissor thing for my grandma, seemed like shed find it useful

>>11821717
Weren't those initially marketed to cut seaweed into fine strips, but nobody bought them, and they were re-advertised?

>>11823061
>unitaskers do the things that knives do faster***

***applicaable only to children and amateurs

>>11823306
>Oh look I never touched a knife in any of these perfectly common scenarios
Except for the part where you cut up all the other ingredients.
>but there were no other ingredients to cut!
>"""what kind of chef are you?"""

>churching up cheap ramen with green onions
christ, a retarded lazy poor phone poster. par for the course at this quality of post.

>>11822001
At least put on a dress

>>11822943
Bruh. As a /k/ type with an old firearm, and corrosive ammo. Hot water is great for washing steel. It evaporates before it'll ever cause rust.

>>11822789
Considering that's the entire point of stainless steel...

>>11821717
I love my garlic press. I also boil water for coffee in the microwave.

>>11821807
Dog you might be retarded

>>11821874
Australia, only know what a grinder is from 420chan, everyone here uses scissors

>>11822936
>cook the shred
Either you're a retarded elitist faggot or you really enjoy soggy hashbrowns.

>>11824265
Adding meme arrows without further argumentation is not a winning tactic, kiddo

>>11824377
Stainless steel will still rust, except certain types like H1.

>>11822063
The are great for cutting button mushroom into pieces for a stew.

>>11824606
Nope. Just an asshole who can't type. It was a typo: cook THEN shred.

>>11821717
•Garlic press, but only the high price ones you can extrude 3-6 cloves at once and have wide handles for ease of use.
•Egg slicers are nice when you want presentation.
•Potato Ricer, great for making gnocchi.
•Whisk, must have.
•Waffle Maker
•Sandwich toaster/jaffle iron/toastie iron, the kind that seals the edges and cuts them into triangles.
•"Veggetti" those things that make thin strings from various vegetables. You can make several dishes with those.
•Dehydrator, I run a farm and use a dehydrator a great deal for food preservation
•Vacuum sealer, I use one with a couple jar attachments, dehydrated food stays amazingly fresh for a very long time in a vacuum sealed jar.
•Hand crank pasta maker, I use mine twice a month. I have the roller type like a rolling pin, but the hand crank one is much easier to use.

I have a ton of other unitaskers, but not typing it all out.

>>11822063
I have a couple of these and they are a must for canning apple slices for later use in apple pies. I also have a hand crank apple peeler I use for making slices to be dehydrated. It peels, slicers, and cores all in one. The slices are thin though. I can remove the slicer knife on it and it will only skin the apples after which I can use the slicer in your image on them.

>>11822936
>Get a knife AND knife skills, n00b

It is the type of tool you use when you have say 30 bushels of apples to process. I process up to 100 bushels a year.

>>11825241
carry on then

Your poverty makes me sick.

>>11823306
>if you DID already have your knife and board out, they still need to be washed first anyway
what did he mean by this?

i have started to come to this board less and less with each passing week

>>11825588
I actually don't get the point of that thing. If you ask me it's bass-ackwards.

Get me a blender which will CHILL its contents while it's running and tell me where to write the check.

>>11821741
Haha!

Sur la table!

On the table!

It's so good!

Haha!

ON the table!

With what volume and frequency of chive consumption does this stupid thing start to make any sense at all?

>>11825638

unironically the best purchase of last year and unironically the most used utensil during my dinner prep.
