Did you not read the part of his post where he tells you that he has had multiple failures with these devices ?
I bet that would aggravate you if that had been your experience

>>18029330
That's the problem I have with garlic presses. They need to start making them out of some kind of metal that doesn't bend so easily. Like if you squeeze garlic the garlic shouldn't win. I don't know what kind of chinesium they're made from but it's worthless.

I stopped buying them years ago and now I just mince garlic and if I want to go to the extra effort I mash them up with some kosher salt using the side of my knife and a cutting board.

>>18029513
I've just started turning them into a paste using a microplane. It's superfast. Then I throw them into dishes at the very end because garlic loses potency the longer it cooks.

>>18029526
This makes my fingers stink like your mom though

Please refrain from using homophobic slurs, we dont need them here

>>18029513
If you want a cheap semi-unitasker for mincing garlic (works great on habaneros and ginger too), try this guy. I’ve been using the same one the last year+ on an at least weekly basis, and it’s great

>>18030488
I used to have one of these, rode it around my neighborhood all the time when I was a little kid

>>18029325
Do these "noodles" even taste that good, compared to regular noodles?

>>18031961
I am a keto lard (down 80 pounds since December)

Zucchini noodles are great, its not going to taste like pasta, it's not a replacement for pasta, it's another way to add filler and flavor to a dish

If you like zucchini, it's worth trying, salt and drain your zoodles for 10 minutes prior, even throw them in a paper towel and lightly press to try and dry them
I like to throw mine in at the last minute and not actually cook them, just enough to heat them, it's a nice little crunch when you are eating

Personally I prefer riced cauliflower, its a better imitation and absorbs sauce better, but both are good

>>18029325

in europe we use steel garlic presses

>>18032645
But dont they kinda suck?

>>18032682
german steel, so no

>>18032840
Oh I'm spiralizing. You better believe it.

>>18033640
what are you spiralize anon?

>>18029325
this is the only correct answer. Cant tell you how many herbs I've killed trying to grow them or how much gas I've waisted trying to get fresh herbs.

>>18033833
Is this some kind of a grow tube for herbs? In trying to look it up but I'm only getting weed results

>>18033856
herb saver, keeps herbs alive for months instead of days

>>18029325
I can cram even more zucchini in my ass if I spiralize it first.

>>18029526
Sexy and based idea.

>>18029526
microplane is for sure the best way to crush garlic hands down. do yourself a favour and get one of these though, the long ones are a bitch to clean and you lose a lot of product too, there's just no good way to get all of it out of the grooves on the side

>>18033833
you can acheive the same thing with a jar you know. i've got parsely in the fridge with an inch of water in the bottom, it's been there 2 weeks and its still green and not floppy.

>>18033991
thats pretty slick

NIPPON GARRICU FORDED A THOUSANDO TIMU

CAN CUTTO THROUGH ANY GARRIC PURESSU

garlic press tastes way different than any other garlic preparation

>>18034662
yeah because you only put in half as much garlic and the rest goes in the bin.

>>18034698
No because the olls gets crushed

>>18029513
Pampered chef. Shitty MLM business practices, but they make some quality products.

>>18034773
way over priced and often garbage
get oxxo instead

My parents have one of these things and I have been thinking of getting one myself, I would eat a lot more fruit if I could peel it easier

>>18035522
>I would eat a lot more fruit if I could peel it easier

no you wouldn't. you are just craving random shit to buy

>>18029325
garlic press is better

>>18035536
No I had a massive drop in apple consumption when I moved out

>>18035522
what

>>18035575
It peels the apple, cuts out the core and cuts it into slices

>>18035591
I can do that with a knife, and there's less to clean up after?

>>18035592
>a single clean peel is less to clean up

>>18035599
press the flat of the blade with your thumb as you spin the fruit using your middle and ring fingers. you can just stop being a child and take some time to learn how to handle a knife...

>>18035622
or i could just buy the unitasker designed to do this for like 20 bucks max and not be a pretentious faggot

>>18035625
>using a knife is pretentious

>>18035622
I will give it a try I suppose

They're pretty great. Got this a couple months ago and been using it for zucchini bolognese.

>>18035522
Damn, there are other uses for the patented cat carrier?

>>18035710

Kek, I saw one of these mixed in with the kids' toys at a goodwill last week. Couldn't figure out what the fuck it was.

>>18033833
>>18033991
So in other words... water? You know you can do the same thing without paying for a unitasker right?

>>18037674
what exactly is it?

>>18037382
Let me guess, real parmasean shaver?

>>18037807
The other anon explained it as
>a cheap semi-unitasker for mincing garlic (works great on habaneros and ginger too)
It's a little handheld thing with blades on one gear and wheels on the other, so I assume you just load it with garlic and run it along your counter like a toy car. I can see how it got mistaken for a toy aside from, yknow, the spinning blade apparatus.

>>18037986
Its just for cheese. Mostly used for swiss cheese and brunost (brown cheese), at least here in Norway. It's a Norwegian invention and literally everyone has one here.

>>18038286
Common household item in the Netherlands as well.

i have a deep fryer, does that count?
Other than that, a rice cooker. If I'm making a ton of rice like five times a week it just makes sense.

>>18035641
you try peeling an apple with a plastic knife sometime, faggot.

>>18035522
The meme is real.

Do they work nice?

>>18040804
Yes, works great for the most common cheeses eaten here (Netherlands). Used one some hours ago when I prepared my lunch. However, it won't work properly on (very) soft or hard/crumbly cheeses.

>>18041113
Do you guys ever come up with a good cup of coffee?
I was there about 20 years ago and it was all weak and full of milk but not in a nice way

>>18040356
I've lived in my childhood home for almost 25 years and we have never had to buy a new KAASSCHAAF

>>18029513
once a week I throw a bunch of garlic in the processor until its a fine enough paste then keep it in the fridge, it keeps nice and fresh for a week and its so handy

>>18029513
can't you just grate it? same result and a grater is useful for a way more processes

>>18041606
What did you order? Standard coffee is served without milk in it.

>>18041616
This, my parents still have the same one at their home they had since the 80's

>>18041917
In amsterdam 20 years ago , everyone seemed to have milky coffee
I thought they kept giving it to me because I looked so italian /american but no , even the locals all seemed to take it that way
Maybe it was a fad?

>>18041616
Must be original stuff. I got mine the past few months. There was a sale, buy enough Gouda and get one for free. I've managed to bend it within my second use. Also cut myself

>>18042039
>I've managed to bend it within my second use
Chinese garbage
>Also cut myself
It happens at least once in your life. One of us now

>>18032602
Riced cauliflower is nasty. It tastes like mummy feet.
>>18031961
No. If you want zucchini with sauce, just cut them into bite sized chunks and throw them in sauce. The flavor is much better. I grow at least 30 zucchini plants every year, I've made it every way you can think of.

>>18042039
>I've managed to bend it within my second use.
Not such a Gouda deal after all eh?

>>18029325
Every unitasker can be a multitasker if you are a crammer

>>18042178
Finally!
Honestly I was worried you wouldnt show

>>18029352
C u c k

>>18029513
I gave up on them and just use a knife instead.

>>18042069
hehe. The cheese was good at least. They've got a funky selection of cheese with garlic or nuts or vegs

>>18042215
I used to have a really nice one that was completely bullet proof. Even then, it was too much trouble. I went back to a knife as well.

>>18041968
I honestly can't explain your experience.
If you order coffee you should receive black coffee.

>>18042206
wow thats not helpful

>>18040453
>>18040477
are you trying to spiralize me?

>>18035522
No lie this thing is really good if you want to make apple pies or apple sauce, stuff that requires you peeling a fuckton at a time. Probably not so much just to peel fruit to eat.

>>18045304
Apple pie tastes way better with skin on
