/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Bialetti, Bodum, Hario and every coffee appliance brand makes stupid stuff like this, repackaging their flagship product to do something slightly different like a "tea infuser", or a "milk frother", what's the point?
Who falls for this shit?
I even saw bialetti making toasters and bodum making grinders, that's not their domain, their designs don't even look good, and they cost more because of their brand name.

>>9635718
My parents used to have one because they liked hot chocolate in their coffee. Its was a unitasker but it was a good design. The spinny thing inside was magnetic so their were notthing difficult to clean

>>9635718

>>9635779
they cost more because of their brand name.
That's exactly the point. Brand loyalty. They know their brand has a reputation and are betting people will buy it simply because of that.

The single worst, bar none, is a tossup between this and a glass cutting board.

>>9635998
What the fuck is the function of this tool?

>>9636041
only thing I can think of is something you squish potatoes with while frying to turn them into pringles shapes.

Air "fryer"

>>9636041
It's a taco press.
They work great.

>>9636041
It's for making hard taco shells. You put a corn tortilla in it and then stick it in to a pot of hot oil (or a deep fryer).

>>9636041
It's for making hard shell taco shells.

>>9635718
This is the only truly right answer

>>9635720
>The harmful substances are extremly higher than norm

>>9636469
I'm kind of curious why. Smashing garlic with a knife is much faster and requires less cleanup.

>>9636051
maybe try using one instead of being a fag

>>9636489
I have. I've noticed many problems with:
-flimsy construction
-difficult to clean
-not very large (can only fit small portions of food)
-inferior results compared to deep frying (food is not as crisp)
-takes longer than deep frying.

I threw the fucker away.

>>9636093
I have no idea what the fuck this even is.

>>9636035
What's wrong with glass cutting boards? I've rarely used them, but don't recall them being super awful.

>>9636522
I've never used one but they sound fucking terrible.

>>9636522
The big one is that hey are harder than your knife blade. So that means every time you cut you are dulling your knife. A cutting board should be softer than your knife, not harder. That way it won't fuck up the edge.

Glass boards are also useless if you need to chop anything with any sort of force, like breaking down bones for making stock, for example. Or cutting the head off a fish, removing chicken wings, etc. Finally, they are usually very smooth and slippery. That makes them easy to clean, but it also means your food goes flying all over the place when you're trying to mince herbs or finely chop something.

>>9636035
Is a cast iron or carbon steel flat bottom wok an acceptable kitchen tool?

>>9636564
ok makes sense. How do you keep a wooden cutting board clean? It's a porous surface, so won't germs/bacteria get lodged into the surface, especially if you are cutting meat on it?

>>9635720
What is it "testing" for that's harmful?

>>9636589
You wash it. If you're really paranoid you can scrub it with bleach.

>>It's a porous surface, so won't germs/bacteria get lodged into the surface, especially if you are cutting meat on it?
They can, but not in enough quantity to matter. As long as you aren't an idiot and put something that will be served raw straight onto a puddle of meat juice you're fine. Wood also has natural antibacterial properties--google it.

There are also plastic and hard rubber cutting boards. These can go in the dishwasher so they can be sanitized by heat. OTOH, they don't have the natural antibacterial properties that wood does.

anyway, no matter what board you have just wash it before you use it for food that will be served raw. I just stick mine in the sink and use a normal scrub brush, hot water, and dish soap.

>>9636572
Sure. Just as long as it's not nonstick!

>>9636604
>natural antibacterial properties of wood
I did not know this. I've been using plastic cutting boards because I was wary of keeping wooden ones clean.

>>9636517
Everything that is wrong with the San Fransisco culture

>>9636603
According to their website it tests for nitrite and nitrate.
Remember that time you got nitrate poisoning from a tomato? Now it need never happen again.

>>9636638
I only consume gmo free produce so I'm safe, no gadget needed!

>>9636517
I believe that's the Juicero. A "juicer" that you had to feed special bags of material rather than actual fruits and it had DRM which required it to be online to function.
It somehow wasn't a success.
I think Ivanka bought one.

>>9636654
It was a raging success until some business reporter wrote a column saying they could just crush the juice bags with their hands, completely invalidating the need for the fantabulous drm-and-wifi-enabled $600 juice pressing contraption. Their business went kaput within a couple of weeks after that.

>>9636093
If you liked Juicero, maybe you'll enjoy Mitte

>mitte starts at $328

>>9636675
Weren't the bags themselves stupidly expensive as well, though? I don't see why people would be too cheap to buy the machine but still pay for the bags. Just buy some juice.
But I guess it was made for people with more money than common sense to begin with.

>>9636731
only retards would continue to buy the bags without the juicero

>>9636715
What a horribly uninspired deisign. Looks like something a teenager would make with one of them modding tools you get with certain games, with a very limited set of tools and building blocks.

>>9636035
>>9636608
I got a carbon steel non stick wok, how did I fuck up???

>>9636942
the idea behind woks are that they're generally for extremely high-temperature frying, and the shape gives a level of control over the heat distribution.
nonstick coating chemicals aren't supposed to be heated over like... 450 degrees or something? I don't know the number, but past that the coating gets messed up and it leeches toxic chemicals and stuff.

Woks are for high-heat, nonstick is only for low-heat, defeats its own purpose.

>>9635720
This device is great if you live in an area with witches

>>9636960
Fuck, oh well it was 50% off so $40 down the drain it is.

Or I could just use it at very high heat, burn off the non stick coating and get a refund, lets see how lazy I am

"Dude that thing won't even cut my fucking bagel!"

>>9636715
>current yeaer
>not enhancing your water

>>9636102

Not a goddamn thing wrong with this. You think ANYONE has ever, ever detected that the garlic was pressed instead of cut by knife? Fuck no they haven't

>>9636522
horrible clacking and scraping sounds, and they destroy knives. you also can't be as rough with them as you can be with a normal wood or plastic board -- put too much weight on it in the sink, it shatters. drop it, it shatters. put something hot or cold on it, it shatters.

also as soon as it suffers any damage you have to throw it out.

>>9636960
the danger of a teflon pan is vastly overstated but it is true that heating it up too hot will ruin the coating.

>>9637097

I got my wok for $5 from Walmart just because I needed a bigger pan for stir fry

>>9636522
one time a few people were standing around in our kitchen and the glass cutting board shattered when no one was using it or touching it. little pieces of glass went everywhere and continued shattering for 5 minutes. this one didn't have a smooth surface, it was very rough. before it broke I wondered why it even existed
>>9636612
you can also oil it up with mineral oil too

>>9636715
I can see how it works, i mean people are stupid and i know some people believe in memes of alkaline water so this is not bad. The design though, that's nasty

bread machine. the whole point of making bread is to enjoy making it. oh, and microwaves.

>>9636102
People call that a unitasker but I find it really useful for pressing my garlic through too

>>9636715
Throw in an almond activator for free and that's a hell of a deal.

>>9636102
lol fuck off faggot

I used my garlic press to strain soup. It ISN'T a Unitasker. It can also be used to press other veggies, mince beef, among others.

believe it, I wouldn't lie to you. another strange instance of something breaking for no reason was, I get home in the middle of the night after smoking a lot of weed. I did this a lot when I was a teenager. I would get something sweet to eat and sit by the small TV we had in the kitchen. there was cake on this night so I poured a big glass of milk. just as I sat down my glass split in two vertically. and 20 oz. of milk started to spread. It was a total buzz kill! the glass wasn't warm either when I poured the cold milk.

most kitchen gadgets are pretty usefull for their intended purpose, if you use a lot of that ingredient what ever it is. the first couple are pretty dumb though

>>9639765
I guess there's some manner of prince Rupert drop effect going on in those glass items. And maybe some preexisting flaw or damage.
I had a 2-liter bottle of soda randomly explode when I walked past it in the supermarket once. Sticky stuff that. They gave me some nice chocolates to apologise, though.

>>9639089
Fuck you buddy, those are great.

>>9639773
Pretty close. The boards are made of tempered glass, just like a car windshield. The idea is that if it breaks then the pre-existing stresses will shatter the board into tiny little pieces which are less likely to cause injury than big knifelike shards. It's most likely there was a pre-existing flaw, or perhaps a chip or scratch from wear-and-tear that started the process.

I've had the same thing happen in my kitchen with one of the newer "pyrex" measuring cups.

>>9639105
why the toilet roll

>>9639857
It's paper towels, presumably to wipe your hands or utensils while you're grilling. Looks like a fire hazard to me though.

>>9639355
Pray to god you don't have a grease fire

>>9636062
or you could just buy hard taco shells. git gud.

>>9640012
Why buy them pre-made? They're usually broken in the box, and it's much cheaper to buy the tortillas instead. You don't need a silly gizmo to fry them either. And they taste a lot better when they are freshly fried.

>>9636604
pretty much this. in my university days the only problem we ever had with a wooden cutting board was when we let the dishes sit uncleaned for 3 weeks and the wood started to rot.

we took all our dishes out into the front yard and used a high pressure hose on them but the cutting boards were fucked, so we made our landlord buy more.

>>9640015
>why buy bread when you could just bake it every morning
yea nah

>>9640030
The difference is that frying taco shells takes zero skill and just a few seconds of time, whereas baking bread is a lot more skill and time dependent.

>>9637022
That appliance is fuckin thick not gonna lie

>>9639857

>>9640030
Because frying a taco she'll is a 100 times easier you idiot
Also making a forward shell is equally easy, it's just water, corn flour, and a hot cast iron, you can literally make fresh taco shells in 20 minutes, and spend like 20 cents on material

>>9636645
>>9636638
High nitrate/nitrite in vegetables comes from being grown in soils that are high in nitrogen. Some plants, like leafy green (especially amaranth genus leafy greens like lamb's quarter) can cause all manner of problems with nitrate toxicity if you eat a lot of them and they've been grown in high nitrogen soils.

>>9636041

They save a lot of time

>>9640677
How do you figure? Smashing the garlic with the side of your knife is much faster, and requires less cleanup. You're done before you've even found the garlic press, let alone had time to peel the garlic before using it.

>>9637010
>Not a goddamn thing wrong with this. You think ANYONE has ever, ever detected that the garlic was pressed instead of cut by knife? Fuck no they haven't

Both cutting it with a knife and using a press are stupid. Smash it with the flat of your knife instead. If you want big pieces smash it lightly. If you want it fine smash it hard. It's much faster and has less cleanup than chopping or slicing with a knife, or using the press & cleaning it when you're done.

>>9640715
How the hell do you mince that shit by just smashing it with the flat of the knife

Even if you press hard it's still mostly in one piece and you gotta chop it up so you can spread it out in the pan

>>9640703
still gotta clean the board and the knife albeit youll be using them for other things, garlic press isn't hard to clean unless you leave it for a day like a savage

fuck the garlic press is so nice just crushing that shit over the pan

>>9640781
>Even if you press hard it's still mostly in one piece
Smack it harder, grasshopper.

>>9640787
>albeit youll be using them for other things
Yes, that's the point. You're not getting anything additional dirty because you're already using the knife and board for other things.

>>garlic press isn't hard to clean
No, but it is an extra unnecessary step. It takes literally a second to smash garlic on the board. One single whack with the flat of your knife. That's faster than even finding the garlic press and getting it out of the drawer, let alone peeling the garlic first and using it.

Makes me feel better. I thought I had some psychic mad energy going.
Mom told me to dishes and they were stored in oven (off all day). Was high and mad (teen) and when I brought out this thick glass cup it exploded into 100's of little cube pieces in about a 10' radius away from my hand with a pop. No real temp change that I could think of. I do remember thinking it would be nice to destroy those dishes, channeling anger into a destructive force. I never thought it would happen and I'm sure there's some reasonable explanation. Thing just exploded in my hand and flew away all over the kitchen floor. I got blamed for throwing it but I was more confused than she was mad. Never happened again. This was back in like '94.

That's Ulillillia. He might have moved back in with his parents, I don't know. He was living with his sister for a while in the next town over and actually had a "job" cleaning up around his apartment. He became hard to keep track of because he stopped using YouTube and was exclusively posting updates on Facebook and I don't have Facebook.

The reason he's on the floor is because he hates chairs. One day he just looked at a chair and said something like "stinky icky chair" and that's what he thinks every time he sees a chair. He's got diagnosed OCD which you can tell by the pizza degreasing but there's got to be some other traits that makes his condition unique as far as I can tell.

Apparently these mitts were recalled for catching on fire and melting and not protecting the user at all.

>>9645028
Did he ever release his jumping game?

When I was in primary school we were doing group cooking where everyone was supposed to make a salad. So this dumb kid brought pic related thinking he's going to be hot shit and turn a potato into fries. Then we watched him obliterate that potato into some sort of a mush with that thing.

this isn't a unitasker hate thread, the garlic press is a very good tool to use, especially if you have to mince +20 cloves for a recipe.

My housemate has one of these as well.
This whole apartment is a shrine to mindless consumerism.

>It was a raging success
no it wasn't, it got a lot of hype, but it was never a 'success'
especially since it only worked through buggy wifi and had to read serial numbers on the bags to prevent bootleg juicer bags

>>9645176
I wouldn't drink beer from it but I'd unironically drink my homemade mead from it while dressed in my viking LARP outfit.

>>9645411
what's the point? don't they stack up easily by themselves without needing anything like this? if it's made to present the chips, why isn't it transparent? you can only see the chips from the sides as it is shown in the image. by having a product made for presenting the chips you would expect something fancy like an arch or an X, but all you're getting is a simple and boring stack. what a let down

>>9645150
>worst

>>9645464
Really? You would expect an object that presents chips to be fancy?

>>9645251
Daniel?

>>9645411
The worst part about this was that it was tied to a DRM system, so you had to scan the tube and it connected to the internet before it would work.

>>9645488
yes.

that goes for anything
why make something made to present something that presents it boringly?

>>9645497
why would it even need a DRM system? why would anyone prevent you from using a object to present chips?

>>9645515
If they didn't have a DRM system how could they justify the $300 price tag??

>>9645515
For the record, their official line on that was that it wasn't DRM, but every single bag needed a code so the system would avoid squeezing it if it was expired. Which obviously doesn't hold up to scrutiny, but anyway.

>>9645551
We're not talking about the juicero, I was spinning a yarn about the pringle stacker.

The same generation is dying of heart disease because those (((experts))) replaced animal fats with trans fats. Almost everything today still uses hydrogenated oil.

>>9645631
They were so focused on if if they COULD, they entirely forgot to ask if they SHOULD.

You pay a monthly fee and get sent a box of toys/trinkets. They're normnally themed.

>>9645718
It's this thing where you pay $20 and once a month you get a box with a few nerdy pop culture knick knacks and doo-dads. It's not really worth it. They almost always include one of those shitty funco pop dolls.
I had it for 3 months before I canceled.

>>9645731
why would anyone want that?

>>9645733
I could see this being useful for the elderly or people who have problems with motor skills.

>>9645742
More money than sense. The kind of people who spend all their time watching youtubers play games and want to surround themselves with pop culture knickknacks. The only way I can describe them is hollow. They're husks of humans.

>>9645739
you could simply use a napkin or a piec of paper towel instead if you wouldn't want your fingers to get greasy

>>9645733
I know many 80+ year olds with osteoporosis who could use this

I am guessing you meant to reply to the hot wings thing and not me.

>>9645755
Hope they like room temperature juice.

>>9645766
They might be able to lift it, put it in, pour with it, take it out, and then put it back. It's having to hold it steady as it pours that is the hard part, not lifting it up and down.

>>9645779
Fair enough, I hadn't thought of it like that.
Don't know any old timers.

>>9645733
would only work with certain sized bottles, I'd imagine
you won't be able to empty it all into a glass, unless you bring it to the edge of the table
also, at that point there's a risk the bottle could slide out of the contraption and cause a giant mess (unless it has a locking mechanism securing the bottle)

>>9645762
that's right

sorry

>>9645754

>>9645744

>>9645797
Fair enough, most people don't know the needs of the elderly until they either work or live with them.

>>9645747
>>9645755
if you accidently let go of it it would fall back and throw some of it contents around

>>9645829
Same if you accidentally dropped a full 4kg jug of juice, which they are much more likely to do.

>>9645857
true

the purpose for this item was making it easier to pour the juice, right? they could have added some mechnisms for slowing the descent if letting go

>>9643655
I wish I could extract venture capitalist money like this.

Why does everything have to look like a fucking Iphone now?

The fuck does that mean? it sounds like something a bunch of homosexual soyboys took months to decide to call their gay product, and even then 3 or 4 of them thought it should have been called something that their target would get, like "broken asshole"

>Personalize your daily drinking water
Why? does this enhance the water somehow? if i "personalize" my daily drinking water all it does is show to the people around me that i can't be trusted with money..... or their children.
