general

I usually just use the microwave to reheat those

Most meats I just reheat in my air fryer like Rusp though

I can't think of any other appliances that are even sorta on that required list

I have a mandoline which I bought as ameme and make homemade chips with

not required, funny to own

ig a smoker, as a far, far rarer thing that fills a similar niche as a grill

I've got one of those smoker-grills

mandolines aren't an appliance, unless you mean you got an electric deli slicer one

I pretty much only use it for steaks

Mandolines are evil

I was talking genral kitchen tools I guess

yeah its not an applicance

You can't make smashburgers on a grated grill....

mandolines will hurt you bad at some point

Mine has good safety stuff

I think I would have to really try

to cut myself

I make most everything on stovetop

Same

I would have to actively stick my finger into the blade compartment, which you have no reason to ever have your hand near

Mandolins feel like torture devices

not sure exactly what kind you got, but I feel like it would be hard to retard proof one

It has a tube that you put the thing in, then another tube that you push the thing from behind with, so I really can't see how I'd cut myself

without making it mostly useless

Anyone who owns one has a story of being maimed by it

Hold on I'll go get a picture

is yours a super small one Pika?

I think we own one but I've never used it

I use mine, and I've not hurt myself on it yet

but it's inevitable

I think they come with a handguard tool now

yes, those metal kitchen gloves

You push the thing in with the white thing

this thing

it limits you somewhat, but that's not the worst design I've seen

It is retard proof

I will literally never cut mtself with this

but for cutting potatoes (the only thing I do with this), it works well

I can only think of 3 things I would feasibly use it to cut

Plus I'm already circumcised!

Most of my cutting is just hand done by a sharp knife, this is literally just a meme (I am making potato chips) item

What about your oklahoma onion burgers

Just cut that with a knife

WTF

True, but the super thin onions do have an appeal

I can cut them that thin

I've trained

Many years

I'm lazy about sharpening my knives

Onions are the top 1 thing I cut

And it's not even close

I remember what happened to the first guy who trained you

though I still usually cut onions by hand

unless I'm cutting a lot, then I'll use one of those quick-chop chunker things

I sharpen mine every month or so when I remember I possibly should

I bought a knife specially made for vegetables 4 years ago and it still is incredibly sharp

I have no idea how

my dilemma is I like having good knives, but then I'd feel guilty about using one of those shitty sharpeners that is quick but destroys your blade

No one at home eats any onions or most other vegetables unless I leave a sliced one in the fridge

and doing it properly takes more time than I'm willing to devote to knife upkeep

I have a whetstone that I just never use

passed both my qualifying exams, stage 1 of phd program successfully completed

Grats =)

Congrats

thanks x2

W pika moment

Let's get it

Thanks Rusp, I hope your graded comments are worth 1 million points

I just turned in the second half of that assignment and let's just say there are more comment lines than code lines...

Congrats pika

thanks

Am I allowed to catch a beaver

or will that trigger the rabbit argument again

Beavers are noble creatures, please dont imprison one of them in your camps

Capture it and fry up its tail

Rusp has signed himself up to be mailed a beaver so he can cook it
