Been thinking about a new one, but we’ll see. Would be nice when hosting, or family gatherings to not have to mash potatoes in two runs. Hang onto it. It's probably better than anything you can get on the market now. When they moved away from the metal gears the durability and reliability of the motors really took a hit.

For mashed potatoes, the food mill I posted above would be great for the really creamy stuff, although I just use a tater-masher and lots of butter/cream/sour cream. I'd keep that old one and have it serviced/greased.

From that review linked above, the Bosch seems to be the sweet spot pricewise if you're doing a lot of bread. Edited December 7, 20241 yr by dcbc
December 7, 20241 yr I've looked at Bosch in the past. One of these days I'll act on something. I don't do a ton of dough, but I do at least once (more time than not twice) a month.

December 26, 2024Dec 26 Mandolins will fuck you up. I’ve got one and it’s the only thing in the kitchen that scares/worries me.
December 26, 2024Dec 26 Yeah the shitty mandolins on amazon try to build in some safety features ultimately causing them to suck, but the good quality ones just put RIP your fingers on the box.

December 26, 2024Dec 26 After many times of cutting up my fingers I bought some gloves that I know use. Mine came with some type of thing that holds the victim and keeps your hands away. I make sure I use that when it starts getting within a couple of inches. I think the only thing I own that worries me more is a jointer.

I did use it, but still managed to cut myself somehow. Love the gloves.

December 26, 2024Dec 26 Mandolins can cut veggies extremely fast - but they don't have too. Slow down, pay attention to what you're doing, and toss the last parts and you should not lose a fingertip.

December 27, 2024Dec 27 This is why we have mandolins. Yep after doing potato pavé twice by hand can’t wait for uniform 1/16” slices.
December 27, 2024Dec 27 This is why we have mandolins. I can haz recipe? I’m gonna have to make ratatouille for my daughter at some point. I’ll be breaking out the mandolin for that.

January 9Jan 9 can you not spend the whole flight flirting with your much younger female copilot and losing track of your airspeed until you crash the plane into someone's house?
January 9Jan 9 Found an oil "spray" dispenser that actually works and doesn't clog. Comes in a bunch of colors to can have one for each oil you use. $10 for black one https://www.amazon.com/TrendPlain-16oz-Dispenser-Bottle-Kitchen/dp/B0CJF94M8J?th=1

So when I tilt it to spray the oil at the bottom tilts away, I have to keep it half full to work.

January 10Jan 10 I'm just here to say that ThermoWork's hi-temp silicone tools are superior in every way to pretty much every other spatula/spoon/trivet/etc. And they aren't that expensive. Just buy the ones they have and throw away or donate what you are currently using once they get delivered, and thank me later. They are also on sale right now: https://www.thermoworks.com/shop/products/hi-temp-silicone-tools/
January 10Jan 10 At Thanksgiving my mom was amazed with my TP One. I’m like, “the same one I’ve used for years?” Well, that was easy picking for a Christmas present, and while I was at it, I sure could use a couple more trivets. Of course they shipped in one box, which my wife dutifully wrapped. So before my mom opens it, I had to let her know, hey, one thing for you, the other stuff is mine. 😂
