Isn't that like a Ramen sieve?

>>9526236
It's just a filter. It's just for stock, not a broth, but pretty handy.

I need to buy a new garlic crusher

>>9526263
oh man here we go

>>9526268
>>9526263
There's a big difference when you need to extrude garlic or crush it. A garlic press extrudes, fyi. The big ones where you can put in an entire bulb of garlic are really nice when you have tons of garlic to extrude.

>>9526223
>tfw still using what looks like a pillow case for filtering stock

the spread of silicone bakeware in general is the best thing to come out of the 21st century thus far. silpats, muffin tins, spatulas/tongs, fuck man. this shit is a miracle material; literally cannot be overheated and cleans off like nothing was ever there.

But only the good stuff from France can actually stand abuse.

>>9526341
How incredibly racist and ignorant of you.

High temp use has problems, especially with low quality brands that have fillers. Things like chemicals leaching into foods and odor transfer to food.

>>9526356
This is a good post. Thanks anon. Recently preserved my first meats with a vaccum sealer. Would recommend it to everyone.

>>9526234
More info plz

>>9526223
Does anyone else call pic related a china cap?

>>9526515
i mean its name is a "chinois" which is the french word for "chinese"...so probably not a stretch from that to what you refer to it as.

>>9526515
>>9526532
Yes. Even this musical instrument has the name because of that shape. Called a Chinese Hat or Chinese Flag since it looks a bit like both.

>tfw you're a dumb dish-washing slut

>>9526612
We were all in that position at one point anon

Those are too fucking expensive

>>9526612
>over 11 thousand fucking dollars

kill yourself fuckface. this is home cook gear only; literally one person ever on this site has ever been in a position to buy one.

Well, I worked in a kitchen and it's the one thing I used the most. Whenever I had to work to do prep the thing I used the most were a knife and a cutting board and if I ever had to work the grill I had to tongs, chopsticks and a deep fryer skimmer (also a spatula)

>>9526223
HOW DO YOU FUCKING CLEAN THIS

>>9526696
uh, turn it upside down and spray water onto it? bring it in your shower if you have to lmao

this thing

Used to dump deep frier shit through that

>>9527109
fuck, forgot pic lmao

I almost bought a second hand food mill but it was missing a piece. aside from tomato sauce, what do you use it for?

>>9526650
what are?

>>9526223
i use an egg trimmer on the daily when i made morning after pancakes

>>9527136
like i mentioned earlier, root vegetable stuff. potato purees, turnip/celeriac/parsnip/carrot. i always ramp up usage in the cold months when those are plentiful.

it's also great for starchy non-root-vegetables like cauliflower

>>9527144
I thought you meant egg timer but i kept reading and got way more confused.

>>9527153
yeah bro
been snortin pre on the daily for about a week and another for a half tick past noon thirty so i can bulk my airbags to inhale more peels, you dig?

>>9527150
>root vegetable stuff
is not very descriptive. Ex-fucking-scuze me for getting clarification.

>>9527165
Y..yeah. I dig.
bruh.

>>9527167
dude he wasn't being aggressive, stop triggering yourself

Both types force food through a perforated screen and what makes a difference (for the food) is the size of the holes.

The conical version pictured here can process more food before the screen is fully clogged (more screen surface), and usually you can just pop out the cone and empty the skins and seed. Whereas with the traditional food mill you have to disassemble. With some foods (whole tomatoes) you may have to pass them a couple of times through the mill to get everything.

Why choose one over the other:

If you are processing bushels of stuff, I wouldn't even think of the traditional food mill. It takes hours to make ~200 jars on the conical mill. I'd become a zenist if someone handed me a traditional mill with bushels of tomato.

For home use and cooking for under 20 people the traditional mill is great since you can just place it over the pot and go. No mounting fuss, and fits into a normal cupboard.

I was given a pair of magnetic tongs for your toaster so you don't burn your hands. Admittedly useless for americans who only toast bread, but for a brit who toasts crumpets and muffins it is great.

>>9528026
couldn't you just use a pair of kitchen tweezers or something? and whats the purpose of them being magnetic? is your bread super high in iron content over in bongistan?
