>>11286600
>pre 130IQ
What?

>>11286614
Thats non english for mensa , KEK :^)

Oh so that comment was even dumber than I originally thought. Why not just brag about your online IQ test scores?

>>11286586
>DURR I DO IT THE HARD WAY SO I'M BETTER THAN YOU EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO DISCERNIBLE DIFFERENCE
Okay, champ. I'll be on the couch watching TV while my puttanesca is cooking. Enjoy peeling garlic by hand and smashing each one.
You ARE peeling it by hand, right? You'd better not be using a peeler, because that's a shortcut for lazy people too. You'd better not be smashing it with the blade and picking the skin off, either.

>>11286628
Well, I clicked Negro and got a 40point boost.

YOUR TURN !

>>11286650
>using a peeler for garlic

>>11286650
It literally takes seconds to peel garlic by hand. I'd argue that it takes longer to peel and press garlic than it would to smash, peel and dice a clove. But you're probably lacking in skills. Go back to marathoning binging with babyish, pleb.

I coulndt care less.

babyman

>>11286699
You don't have to peel it

>>11286628
Fuck you nigger, cooking is my Job !
Yeah, I cook even at work and never taste it because I now its amazing !

>>11286586
See, I feel like I can be lazy and take shortcuts even without your gizmo there.

>>11286613
What intellectuals use

Using a garlic press breaks down all the molecules inside the garlic (more so than slicing) and ruins the flavor.

>>11286586
>not buying pre-peeled garlic fresh from your local asians

The truly patrician choice.

>>11286613
This shit has a weird tang. Probably the preserving agents.

>>11286815
>not smashing it to get the juices out

weak

>>11286586
I work 65 hours a week and then have side jobs for another 15 plus normal chores like clothes cooking etc. Faggot

>>11287203
So you don't have time to clean the tool in >>11286586. That's why it's a stupid fucking tool.

Daily reminder that if you own one of these you're lazy and like to take shortcuts.

>>11286586
you've obviously never had to cook a lot of food for a lot of people most days of the week if you're a little bitch about shortcuts in cooking.

>>11286613
I see nothing wrong with using minced garlic from a jar, some brands have slightly different tastes but this brand is great.

>>11287188
for when I want to cook something where garlic is the main star of the dish I do this

>>11286586
imagine thinking kitchen tools to make prep work more quick and easy is a "lazy" thing

cook more fag

>>11286613

I get this, even though I know it's not as good as fresh.

I'll take the flavor sacrifice for the sake of convenience

>>11286815
There's actually a point to smashing it though because when you do you basically "activate" it whereas you wouldn't by simply chopping it up. It's a chemical/acidity thing.

>>11287173
>breaks down all the molecules
Kek.

>>11287748
I bet you boil your steak in plastic bags and then top it with a little 'racha or vark sauce. Maybe have it with a nice IPA while watching a binging with babish livestream or Rick and Morty.

>tfw gf insists on using these stupid kitchen cluttering things
>she's tiny and weak

>laughed in her face
>tfw no gf

>>11286586
>you are dumb and lazy for using the one method that has been proven to bring the most flavor out of garlic
Don't chop garlic. Literal whole cloves gives more flavor than chopped garlic.

>>11288721
i mean that second bit is straight up false. but its true that crushing is pretty good for flavour. honestly, though, they're a ballache - unless you want to lose half the garlic, you have to scrape down the inside multiple times and repress it. id much rather just chop and press with the side of a knife and a bit of coarse salt. easier cleanup too.

>>11286586
how is it a shortcut when it yields superior results?

>>11288721
Oh, you're a knifelet. disregard everything this guy says, I guarantee he's a weak guy.

>>11288655
This is your brain on shitposts

pff, that's still hard work for most.

>>11286617
more like menstrua

>>11287188
>>11287748
For me, it's pre-peeled garlic. No other form of garlic has the same je ne sais quoi of the slave labor of Chinese prisoners

>lazy
More like, our time is actually valuable

>>11286586
I only used a knife for 10 years. have skills. now i can do whatever, ok dad?

>>11289648
If your knife skills aren't babby tier then why would you want a garlic press?

Smacking garlic with the flat of your knife is faster than even finding the damn press, let alone using it.

>>11286586
As long as you use them often enough there is literally nothing wrong with single-use tools

>>11289662
What if the single-use tool is actually more work than doing it the traditional way? That's the problem with a garlic press.

>>11289655
I don't own one but i get it. Everyone hates doing something in prep. Nothing wrong with owning and using one. On the other hand I can't stand people who have a gadget for every task. Thanks for reading my blog. I'm also gay if that matters.

>>11286586
Why should I when I already own multiple mortars and pestles?

>>11289679
>more work
I disagree.
Maybe if only one or two cloves.

>>11286586
>if you own one of these you're lazy and like to take shortcuts

That's because you don't have even basic knife skills.

>>11287756
Me too. Just use a little more and it balances out

>>11289979
real chefs rip and tear butternut squashes with their bare hands

>>11287173
ruins? you mean enhances?
that sweet, sweet alacin is something that you want. its just more garlic flavour.

real intellectuals put the garlic between their asscheeks and crush it with the said cheeks

Why do *mericans feel the need to put their flag on the front of their house? Are they afraid people will forget which country they are in?

>>11291552
Thanks for the flame, but it's because of what it represents, much like your country in Yurop or wherever

>>11286586
fuck you OP I hate chopping garlic

>>11286613
I would literally get a spoon and just eat that right out of the jar. Bet it smells fucking amazing as well

>>11291552
Showing pride in your country isn't illegal in the US. Nationalism isn't an evil word.

Yup, it can only be europeans who post shit about America.
It's literally the only continent in the world that doesn't have a real reason to hate America, but Americans insist on automatically assuming it's them. Not Asia, not Africa, not middle east, not south america, not russia, not even australia, nope, it can only be europe.

Well, if that's what you want, fine.

>>11291764
Then you're from some third world shithole and I could literally care less about your opinion. Australia is alright though and they can be honorary yuropoors due to the fact they used to be a Bongistan penal colony.

>>11291552
I think it looks nice.
