Mine is a collection of antique dental instruments.

I won't tell you why, but I will say that it puts the lotion on its skin.

This post has made me ask, why don't we just put this shit in a different place?

Kitchen is to small

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I have this one drawer that always hits something

  • potato masher
  • large pizza cutter
  • basting brush with an annoying hook on the side
[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

For me it's tongs.

A fuckin set of tongs that has some latching mechanism that doesn’t work so they stay permanently agape.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Ineffective ass potato masher.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

A ricer is the 'Yes chef' way to do it, but I use this exact masher, when I do it I get lumpy mashed potatoes, but for whatever reason why my 10yr uses it they are silky smooth.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

What would you recommend for mashing ass-potatoes?

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

The professionals use a potato ricer. Very fast, no lumps, and no risk of accidently making a glue, but you have to buy a potato rice, and change is scary.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Have you heard about our Lord and Savior the poop knife?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I know I wouldn't recommend one of those electric hand mixers, like the one that just has a tiny blade it spins fast (the ones that spin two "interlocking" things might do decently). The potatoes are too thick and the blades just end up pushing the potatoes away and spinning uselessly. I'd take the one pictured over that kind.

And tbh, I like that style because you can still get good smooth mashed potatoes and the masher is easier to clean vs the grid style ones. Though for either of them, the trick is to dip it into the dish water and shake it around (clear out fragile stuff first obviously).

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

(the ones that spin two “interlocking” things might do decently)

Can confirm, they do.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

For ass potatoes you need a ricer.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Kinda depends how you like your potatoes. I generally like them a little lumpy, but I think the twelve or so of us in the lumpy crew nationwide lose that fight every Thanksgiving.

But! The ineffective ass potato masher does a real good job of breaking up ground meat in to super tiny bits in the pan for stuff like Taco meat.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I’m in the lumpy potato crew! Some texture makes them so much nicer. Also, don’t add so much milk: I want to taste potatoes

…… of course I also tend to leave the skins in, plus there may be garlic or caramelized onions

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Head of garlic in to 2 sticks of butter on the stove, in to the potatoes when they're ready. Skins and all.

Nommmmmm

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Ineffective potato masher is an amazing taco meat maker. And sometimes you want lumpy potatoes, like you said. I prefer smooth but something like bangers and mash? It just makes it feel more a substantial if there's lumps.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

I use a perforated masher. It's like the middle ground between this and a ricer.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 13 points 14 hours ago

I don't think "audio off" was ever a reason.

[–] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

a knife once got stuck in out kitchen drawer.

after an hour of trying to get that drawer open with an arsenal of tools we surrendered and smashed a hole in the drawer from below.

The new ceramic knifes which caused the incident were collateral damage.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Oh man, that’s why that drawer was so spiteful - it took its revenge out on my mother-in-law. Apparently it reincarnated as a bathroom drawer and schemed with the cat to close the bathroom door and open the drawer right next to it

I tried to help but it was too tight to even snake a wire hanger through. I ended up smashing a hole in the bathroom door

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Doors can be replaced, dignity cannot.

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 25 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

you'd think i'd have learned by now not to put my potato masher in the drawer. but you'd be wrong if you thought that.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 12 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

That's uncanny. I thought I was the only one misplacing my German stick grenades like that.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Please refer to them by their proper german name stikkenboomens.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

*Stielhandgranate, but yes it would be a much better potato masher than this sad mesh wire.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks for the umakshualy, Captain Buzzkill.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Actually it's lieutenant Colonel Buzz Killington to you, scrub.

Expert mode is the tongs that were locked closed when they went into the drawer, and have now expanded 3x the size they should be

The apartment I bought had cabinets with fake, decorative drawers on them. Except it turned out that one of those drawers wasn't decorative. It was just stuck.

Inside there was a full set of silverware (as in literal silver) from the 60's complete with the original receipt. It's worth thousands of dollars. I guess whoever lived there before me was in no condition to pack and the people who packed didn't know about the silver...

Don't forget the tongs that's missing the lock thing and somehow ends up standing up wide open.

I threw an entire draw of utensils across the room because of one of those fuckers.
