  1. Mandoline, I cannot look at one without flashback to blood and potatoes. We’ve all been to Vietnam.

  2. For anyone that doesn’t like using the guard with your mandolin; the only reason I could tell my fingertip apart for the potato slices was because it had pink nail polish.

  3. The must cook with a thermal pen should be the answer to ā€œwhat are you looking for in a partnerā€ question on dating apps.

  4. We had a potato ricer when we were teens, and it was fun to try briefly but for regular use it was a pain in the caboose! And didn’t rice many potatoes at once. Plus you had to really push hard to get them thru and then there’s always some squished potatoes at the bottom kinda stuck to the bottom. Another thing is some family members liked lumpy potatoes,……go figure! I guess when you put in enough real butter and cream, salt and pepper, they taste good no matter. lol šŸ˜‚ Ours was old…probably used to be our grandmother’s. It had holes partway up the sides too.

  5. I agree with you about using a thermometer, but ive always gotten good results by touch with my steak. Maybe I’m just lucky.

  6. I chopped my fingertip off slicing chilis with a mandolin. That was painful for weeks, and it still hurts shen I bump my middle finger into things😣

  7. I use both the guard & the glove with my mandolin. Otherwise way too much blood in the cucumber saladšŸ˜‚

  8. I’m always terrified using the mandolin, even with the guard. I just know I’m gonna love the ends of my fingers making scalloped potatoes

  9. Hey, anyone reading. Use the guard for the mandolin, I cut the tip of my index clean off while cutting potatoes a few years back.

  10. I’m not sure what this says about me, but I prefer my mashed potatoes to have chunks. Completely silky mash really does make me think I am eating baby food.

  11. Got em… thanks for the vindication, my wife can’t say "you’re not a chef" anymore šŸ˜‚

  12. Yeah. Recommending mandolins to random people at home via YT and letting them know you never use the guard even though you know you should…

    You are an agent of chaos keeping emergency departments busy.

    Home cooks do not need a mandolin.

  13. I got a potato ricer and I gotto say I don’t get it. My hand mashed potatoes are much more creamy

  14. And remember the Golden Rule of the Mandolin:

    Do not serve your finger shavings with the meal.

  15. I’m sorry but for a steak… temperature doesn’t matter, it’s all about consistency. Thermometer for all other meat though

  16. Hey neat, I already have those! I prefer lumpy mashed potatoes so I don’t use the ricer all that often, but I got it!

  17. Fun fact: this guy never stops waiving his arms on this video

    But yes, the Maryse is amazing. So extremely useful

  18. If you’re trying to get someone to use the safety features of a kitchen gadget, admitting that you don’t use them probably isn’t the way to go

  19. Noooooo I’ve had stitches twice from the mandolin. One of them had to sew my fingertip back on!

  20. I don’t know why but I started using the spatula for everything a few months ago, stirring, scraping, serving….. it’s a nice tool. The second thing you show is also used to make SpƤtzle, it’s called a SpƤtzlespress šŸ˜‰

  21. If you’re like me and watch Gordon Ramsey hating on people that use a thermo pen, just remember he’s a full time Michelin star chef and knows meat by touching it, most people who cook at home don’t have or need that skill and the thermo pen is much safer than potentially giving yourself food poisoning.

  22. I didn’t used to use the handle thing w my mandolin and learned my lesson the hard way by cutting the tip off my thumb šŸ˜…

  23. TIL that a rubber scraper is called a maryse. I’ve never seen a Midwestern kitchen without one.

  24. The masher would be good for certain foods, but i want granularity in my mashed potatoes.

  25. My family is over the moon after watching this and realizing they use all of those. My years of kitchen babble weren’t for nothing! 😜
