A quick tidbit about food
I’m reading Real Simple last night and the main story is 218 best buys for the kitchen, fashion, home, etc. Anyway, get this – they call a $40 garlic press a must have and great value.
This basically kills me. Here’s why.
Garlic presses blow. They mince garlic quickly (after you’ve removed the skin) and then clog and become a pain in the ass to clean. Sounds great no? Just use your standard kitchen knife and chop away. Cleaning a knife is about 1000 times easier than the stupid garlic press. Frankly judging by the choices in this issue, I don’t think the “kitchen gurus” even cook.
