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

That’s the entire reason I use a wine bucket to house big utensils. I used a wide thin grill spatula and all of my patience opening that drawer.
The bucket is slightly bigger around and slightly taller than a cookie jar. It works great.
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 6 months ago
We use a combination of a tall vase for the big top heavy stuff and an old Jaegermeister ice bucket that came free with something decades ago. Nestled within each other. Holds all of the bigger cooking utensils like spatulas, spoons, tongs, etc.
AA5B@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It used to work great in the old days. Now every utensil needs to have a bulky handle, and I’ve accumulated too many, so there’s just no room in that bucket
smokebuddy@lemmy.today 6 months ago
use another set of tongs to squeeze them shut while pulling

Look at money man over here. Showing off his two tongs.

Why is it, when something stucks, it is always you three?
Etterra@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Ty be fair, sometimes it’s the upside-down spatula.
ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’ve been wondering the same thing profesor.
problematicPanther@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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 6 months ago
That’s uncanny. I thought I was the only one misplacing my German stick grenades like that.
rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Please refer to them by their proper german name stikkenboomens.
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Dang I can’t under that now. Its like the FedEx arrow.
dumbass@leminal.space 6 months ago
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.

One of ours gets stuck on the 3 different sets of measuring cups. Why do we have 3 full sets? No one knows!
Godnroc@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Because having one means you have to wash that pile of dishes at the bottom of the sink.

Ineffective ass potato masher.
Klear@lemmy.world 6 months ago
What would you recommend for mashing ass-potatoes?
roguetrick@lemmy.world 6 months ago
For ass potatoes you need a ricer.
Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 months 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.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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).

Have you heard about our Lord and Savior the poop knife?
Crashumbc@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Hand mixer, like a true redneck
Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 months 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.

I don’t think “audio off” was ever a reason.

And how else would you suggest we pay tribute to Anoia?

Rattle those drawers and praise her.

PRAISE ANOIA!
Oh merciful Anoia, guard our kitchens and protect our drawers!

putitoutwithyourbootsted@piefed.social 6 months ago
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.
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 6 months ago
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.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 months ago
C’mon man. You forgot half a dozen mismatched batteries, some tongs, and 3 different bottle openers for some reason.
Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This post has made me ask, why don’t we just put this shit in a different place?

a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
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 6 months ago
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

YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM THE POTATO MASHA!
Etterra@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
I’m not sure what kind of eggbeaters would survive smashing potatoes, but I’ll live in fear of them from now on.

The hard way. Use the egg beaters (aka hand mixer) instead.

Potato masher
Delphia@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Not just A potato masher, its THE potato masher. If you dont have that thick af metal wire one you have an inferior potato masher.
FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The spatula is a classic one
the_artic_one@programming.dev 6 months ago
You could just buy a utensil crock and never have to worry about it again.
AA5B@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I have this one drawer that always hits something
- potato masher
- large pizza cutter
- basting brush with an annoying hook on the side

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 work 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…
