For anyone that doesnāt 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.
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 didnāt rice many potatoes at once. Plus you had to really push hard to get them thru and then thereās always some squished potatoes at the bottom kinda stuck to the bottom. Another thing is some family members liked lumpy potatoes,ā¦ā¦go figure! I guess when you put in enough real butter and cream, salt and pepper, they taste good no matter. lol š Ours was oldā¦probably used to be our grandmotherās. It had holes partway up the sides too.
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.
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 š
If youāre like me and watch Gordon Ramsey hating on people that use a thermo pen, just remember heās a full time Michelin star chef and knows meat by touching it, most people who cook at home donāt have or need that skill and the thermo pen is much safer than potentially giving yourself food poisoning.
I have all the Utensils in this video and love them. Thank you, Chef Andy.
Mandoline, I cannot look at one without flashback to blood and potatoes. We’ve all been to Vietnam.

If you make mash without the lumps youāve made it wrong

The must cook with a thermal pen should be the answer to āwhat are you looking for in a partnerā question on dating apps.
Aint got room for any of this in my kitchen
The spatula, AKA the most important tool in the kitchen.

I agree with you about using a thermometer, but ive always gotten good results by touch with my steak. Maybe I’m just lucky.
But I like lumpy mash! Got that good mouth feel
I use a cut proof glove with my mandolin. Must have.
But… But… I like my mash potatoes lumpy

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 thingsš£
Huh, I’ve got them all. Maybe I should get one of those hats?
I use both the guard & the glove with my mandolin. Otherwise way too much blood in the cucumber saladš
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
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.
My mom bought special gloves for our mandolin
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.
Got em… thanks for the vindication, my wife can’t say "you’re not a chef" anymore š
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.
Already have, any other wuggestions?
I got a potato ricer and I gotto say I donāt get it. My hand mashed potatoes are much more creamy
The ricer is over ratedš
And remember the Golden Rule of the Mandolin:
Do not serve your finger shavings with the meal.
4 of 5 collected !
1 isnāt heat proof itās resistant
The Mandolin. For some reason sharp enough to cut gods.
I’ve cut my hand too many times on the mandolins.
Iām sorry but for a steak⦠temperature doesnāt matter, itās all about consistency. Thermometer for all other meat though
these arent normal things in peoples homes?!?!
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!
Done āļø
Check! All in š¤£
Fun fact: this guy never stops waiving his arms on this video
But yes, the Maryse is amazing. So extremely useful
If youāre trying to get someone to use the safety features of a kitchen gadget, admitting that you donāt use them probably isnāt the way to go
Noooooo I’ve had stitches twice from the mandolin. One of them had to sew my fingertip back on!
Do australians not keep bendy spatulas in their kitchens?

I watched that episode of Clarkson’s farm… I’m using the guard on the mandolin
I didnāt used to use the handle thing w my mandolin and learned my lesson the hard way by cutting the tip off my thumb š
TIL that a rubber scraper is called a maryse. I’ve never seen a Midwestern kitchen without one.
The masher would be good for certain foods, but i want granularity in my mashed potatoes.
Rarely used the thermometer š
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! š
I don’t understand why people have started wanting zero texture to their mashed potatoes
