The ONLY way to go

>not using the slap chop to mince your garlic

I'd try to write a ballanced reply, pointing out that any method or use of a tool is highly dependant on what the next in the cooking proces is, but hey, this is Veeky Forums

You're killing yourself every time you use fresh garlic. The average human spends approximately three hundred years of their lives peeling garlic.
Don't fall for the fresh meme. Pay poor people to peel and mince your garlic.

Thats a nice looking board

>peeling garlic

Found you problem. Who the fuck peels garlic?
You can make a garlic paste in under 5 minutes, start to finish, bulb to paste.

>using garlic that has lost its flavor

Chop off bottom end of each clove, and go nuts for about 10-20 seconds, feel like a garlic god.

I use a microplane, way faster and easier to clean.
God tier kitchen tool.

You don't even need to chop off the bottom, just separate all the cloves, put them in some kind of container and shake the fuck out of them.

Circular boards are trash. Sorry to say it, but seriously just think about what you're doing.

...

this is the most accurate representation of working in a kitchen i've ever seen

IT'S A FUCKING UNITASKER GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE

I take it you "muh unitask" fags don't own a spring form pan, turkey baster, injector, egg poacher, cupcake pans, or toaster?

Johnny likes powdered glass in his food.

what the fuck am i watching

How do you keep garlic from sticking to your knife?

>unitasker

It's Great for playdough hair and playdough spaghetti

Use a fork instead

Is that really a problem? Wipe it off.

Slightly damp knife.

Or just chop a lot of garlic.

>le unitasker may-may
I bet you eat with a spork too.

Cupcake pans = muffin pans = peanut butter cup molds = mini pizza's pan = mini pie pans and so on.

Toaster = "Im too lazy to turn on the oven 5 minutes before toasting my bread"

Egg poacher? You mean any pot I already own?

Baster? You mean a ladle or spoon?

Injector? That's meme trash. If you want to stuff a meat then actually stuff and roll it. No need for some silly syringe in my utensil drawer.

Spring form pan is okay, but only if you actually bake cakes enough to use it.

4 out of the 6 items you listen are worthless.

But I like to taste the Golgi Apparatus

>Toaster = "Im too lazy to turn on the oven 5 minutes before toasting my bread"

I eat a lot of fucking toast. That would make my gas bill 30x higher.

Otherwise you're pretty much correct.

One of those compartmentalized dishes with holes you set on top of your pot for poaching eggs makes them come out way better.

Waffle pans. What else are you going to use that for? How else are you going to make waffles?

...

Thank you, I wanted to post that. Did this with my garlic tonight, turned out awesome.

America's Test Kitchen uses it. Good enough for me. Fuck Alton Brown.

Lttle known fact:

Those were actually Martin Scorsese's hands slicing the garlic for that shot.

FUCKING DISGUSTING YOU SWINE KILL YOURSELF

PROTIP
dont peel the garlic before crushing it, the skin also sticks to the fibrous waste and as you pull the skin out it mostly unblocks the holes making cleanup easier than cruushing peeled garlic.

microplanes are a million times better, right up until you catch your fingernail on it

What kind of gay faggot puta eats waffles after they have 10 years?

A toaster is a much more economical appliance for toasting two slices of bread, but if you don't care about higher bills then an oven works, certainly. Personally I like a toaster oven, best of both worlds (versatility + convenience/cheap energy cost)

what even is this post saying

I don't get it. Are garlic presses great, or are you saying they're terrible.

Should I not use one?

I think he was trying to say waffles are for children

I think I can explain. The user is a spic. "Puta" = Spanish word for whore and the phrase in Spanish for age is "Yo tengo ___ años" which literally translates to "I have ___ years".

But yes, he is implying adults should not eat waffles.

garlic is one of those foods I just don't understand

it has a strong taste and a real tendency to coat your mouth so it just kind of cannibalizes all other flavors
I don't like it

I use a mortar and pestle pretty often.

I just smash them, peel them, and add them to whatever I'm cooking, then remove them before serving. I rarely eat the actual garlic.

Cooking it mellows it out quite a bit.

PROTIPS:

--Elephant garlic peels so easy that it barely qualifies as peeling, the husk comes off in one piece

--Breaking the cloves off a bulb and roasting them at 400F for 4 minutes allows the husk to come off extremely easily, and softens the cloves
