People who don't like grease spattering on their stovetop, or minding the pan? I bake my bacon in the oven, 400 degrees, on foil.

>>4782116
this is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen. Do you really think you'll have the dexterity to use these things like typical utensils? Why are you so afraid of getting your fingers dirty? You're just going to drop on anyway and get sauce and shit all over it

>>4782207
I dunno about you, but I definitely can't cook 14 slices of bacon in any of my pans.

>>4782167
I'm imagining somehow engineering a rasher so long that it can be threaded through the whole thing.

Some people seem to be afraid to touch food with their hands. They have fetishised utensils.

>>4782261
it's an outgrowth of the plastic-wrapped sanitary existence mentality

I'll be floored if this works even a little bit

>>4782276
I have a small usb powered fan on my laptop that blows and does this.

It's pure genius plus i can noodle while i watch my animu.

I do put a newspaper on the keyboard for splash

>>4782261
> Some people seem to be afraid to touch food with their hands.

I dunno, it could come in handy for slippery foods like bar-b-q ribs.

Sup plebs.

You want one of these.

What a waste of money and space in your kitchen.

>>4782307
Yeah, but not for cooking, just pyromania.

>torches can only be used in the kitchen

I'm guessing you don't do much yourself.

>using a cooking torch for maintenance
I bet you also use your knives for turning screws and opening mail

These are really useful plus they include a little tool to clear out the holes.

Sometimes it's fun to have a nice gadget.

>If you can make toast.

>>4782320
Well both really. I use it quite often. Quickly melts cheese, chars the exterior of meat, and my favorite, caramelized honey over goat cheese.

>>4782288
You're kidding. You must have some kind of palsy.

>>4782257
Isn't that just a repurposed veterinary syringe?

>>4782327
That logic is crude. A torch is a torch regardless of purpose. I used my kitchen torch to reshape iron on my smoker. Learn to multitasker.

>>4782307
Why not just buy one of these?
It's cheaper, has more capacity, and is more useful.

>>4782257
I want one.

>>4782116
Those who don't buy "NO EVIL OIL" are condemed to burn in hell for all eternity!

Quick. Someone post the Rotato.

>>4782346
Everyone should own one of these and a fire extinguisher.

>>4782346
I considered it, but the torch fits neatly in a drawer and uses standard butane refills. The price difference was negligible.

..That is the definition, yeah.

Use it with whole nutmeg for eggnog that is out of this world. It works perfectly for Parmesan and zesting as well.

So....the same thing they do to chicken you buy in the store?

Filthy hippie.

>>4782362
my nigga

vape erry day

>>4782831
I dunno, it's not so much the oil that splatters it's stuff you put into the oil. For instance, I was pan frying some frozen dumplings in a cast iron skillet with my shirt off, I put one in that wasn't properly defrosted yet, or it had a little drop of water on it or an ice crystal whatever, the crystal popped out of the oil and gave a nice burn on my chest. I never made those mistakes again.
That was a serious cockup.

But garlic presses are regular kitchen utensils.

Who needs that much peanut butter?

>>4782909
These are quite handy we make massive amounts of small frozen pies and have 2 of them running each time it saves alot of time and they are pretty darn good

>>4782929
How much?

I bought this mandoline slicer a few months ago and it was a great investment.

It's a Benriner mandoline slicer, some Japanese brand that some local kitchen store owner told me was good. I bought it at a Japanese market for like $30 and it's amazing.

>>4782945

Honestly, I wouldn't buy a mandoline unless it was flush stainless. The waste these make is absolutely epic unless you keep the scraps for broths and sauces.

It's not really something I feel I need, though, mind you. Knife skills are important to me. If I was to get into canning pickles, though, I might want one, but I'm not much into vinegary stuff.

>>4784715
i doubt your knife skills are that of a mandoline. not to mention the amount of time it saves. as far as the waste goes, thats a grey area for me.

>>4782903

>mfw I see that apple lurking down there

>>4784751

I doubt the mandoline's knife skills are that of mine.

>>4784838

Meh, it's actually terrible. Disregard that, I'm a faggot.

>>4784715

It's small enough that it doesn't take up too much room in my apartment kitchen, and helps me cut things evenly and thinly super fast. As far as waste I usually just cut that by hand so nothing gets thrown out.

I thought it was a joke before I got one but it is really great. Last night I shredded a ton of carrots really fast for carrot cake. My other option would be to take out my microplane and use that, and there's no way in hell I'm shredding carrots with a knife.

>>4782116
>>4782141
Half the fun is licking sauce off your fingers you heathen

>>4782116
There exists such a thing as knives and forks, you know?

>>4782116
>>4782141

Only plebs will use this.

I eat chicken with a fork and knife.

>>4782901

The device in the OP I can kinda see, but this... why? Even greasy chips are easily managed with a napkin.

>>4784941
>using your skinning knife to prepare food

gross.

>>4785021
You're supposed to cut small things like garlic and onions inside the wood thing with it you festizio, not your spoils from hunting.

Also why didn't my browser spellcheck "festizio".

>>4784843
i know that feel.

>>4782257
you think that's bizarre? have you never entered a kitchen in your life?

>>4782330
garlic presses are terrible, use a spice grater.

>>4784941
also a better alternative to a fucking garlic press

>>4785028
it's a skinning knife. why would you use a skinning knife to mince garlic?

>>4785036
agreed on the garlic press. fuck the spice grinder and just use a microplane

>that means everyone today isn't allowed to use it in a different way because the ancient old people are definitely right and know more about things than people in the future

Also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulu_knife>The size of the ulu typically reflects its usage. An ulu with a 5 cm (2 in) blade would be used as part of a sewing kit to cut sinew. Kimaqtuut is a small ulu used for cutting out patterns from animals skins (seal, caribou) which is the two-inch blade. An ulu with a 15 cm (6 in) blade would be used for general purposes. Occasionally, uluit can be found with blades as large as 30 cm (12 in).

>>4785072
Pretend there's a line break before the >

My brother has OCD and has to eat everything with a fork and knife, or wastes a good 2/3rds of everything you have to tough like ribs or wings (anywhere that touches near his fingers is inedible.) Where 2 cop?

mah nigga

Same here. Comes out flat and crispy EVERY time, unless I want chewier in which case it doesn't stay in as long. Also, some people wait until the oven pre-heats. Not me. I start up the oven, place the bacon in the foil, and stick it in. NEVER burns or overcooks. I get it just right every time.

>>4782379

Even by 4chan standards, this is actually really gay.

>>4785143
But then you don't get to experience the joy of hot grease hitting your bare chest.

>>4782262
I had this same idea years ago, I was 12 or so, and thought it'd be nifty. And it is, fuck. I totally could have made money on that.

>>4782307

eh, if you are making english burnt cream and you dont have a blowtorch then just dont make it.

>>4784990
That'll only work until the soda level gets as low as the spout.

is this actually worth a shit? i thought about getting my dad one because he loves hot dogs and cooking them in the microwave sucks.

>>4785943
Curb your autism, Alton.

>>4786022
>too lazy to get out a pan and cook them for a few minutes on your stove top

so sad

>>4786022
We like ours. Yeah, it's a one-trick-pony, but it beats washing pans. Firing up a stove, or grill. It's just so convenient. The pay-off of a couple of hot charred dogs on toasted buns are aces in my book that beats a microwaved dog any day.

mandonline is awesome for slicing zucchini lengthwise for lasagna

>>4782330
I've got an older Zyliss and it's awesome but I don't have a cleaning tool ... need to use a toothpick in the holes which is kind of annoying.
Worth it overall because I just plain like using the press.

What I remember from the etiquette classes I was forced to take in middle school, is that fried chicken is the ONLY food where it is acceptable to use your fingers.

>>4788801
I had prawns in France and they were the full prawn, like heads, antennae, legs, etc. ... I couldn't see any other way to eat them besides using my hands.

>>4782167
All the bacon I've seen, with the exception of the super thick cuts, is way too floppy to be threaded standing up like that.

>>4785957

>toasting hot dog bugs
