C’mon man. You forgot half a dozen mismatched batteries, some tongs, and 3 different bottle openers for some reason.

One of ours gets stuck on the 3 different sets of measuring cups. Why do we have 3 full sets? No one knows!
Because eventually you’ll break it lose one of the cups and then have 3 incomplete sets that will hopefully provide a full set between them.
Because having one means you have to wash that pile of dishes at the bottom of the sink.
For me it’s usually letting anyone else put dishes away. Before that, the ¼, ½, ⅓, and 1 cup measure set but I fixed it by putting them upside down.
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…
Psh when I open random stuck drawers all I find is jars of teeth
Do you have any idea what jars of teeth go for these days???
Bro eating good tonight
Gonna pull extra hard on my fake drawers tonight.
That fucking potato masher. My fiancee uses one of these. Just use the damned egg beaters! The machine packs away easy and the mashed potatoes are super light and fluffy.
I’m not sure what kind of eggbeaters would survive smashing potatoes, but I’ll live in fear of them from now on.
For me it’s the bakery gloves
What are bakery gloves? I’ve never heard of that before, and Google was not helpful.
Oven mitts
A fuckin set of tongs that has some latching mechanism that doesn’t work so they stay permanently agape.
I simply don’t put these in a drawer.
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.
I have this one drawer that always hits something
- potato masher
- large pizza cutter
- basting brush with an annoying hook on the side
For me it’s tongs.
Ineffective ass potato masher.
What would you recommend for mashing ass-potatoes?
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.
For ass potatoes you need a ricer.
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.
I use a perforated masher. It’s like the middle ground between this and a ricer.
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
Head of garlic in to 2 sticks of butter on the stove, in to the potatoes when they’re ready. Skins and all.
Nommmmmm
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.
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).
(the ones that spin two “interlocking” things might do decently)
Can confirm, they do.
Have you heard about our Lord and Savior the poop knife?
