the process of squeezing, scraping, and cleaning the garlic press takes longer than just chopping the garlic yourself
especially if you are working with more than one clove
in fact for every extra clove the loss in time is exponential

Not the same dude. What makes garlic "spicy" is the allicin content, which rapidly degrades after its been chopped up and sits for a while. I just put some pre-peeled cloves in my press and wa-la, fresh garlic. More expensive, but so much easier.

The problem is not when the ingredients are added but the rate that you need to drizzle the oil combined with the whisking in order for everything to emulsify.
It literally can't take a minute unless you are making a portion of like a tablespoon and at that point you would have to use less than one yolk which is retarded.

[Anonymous No.13470057]

>>13470013
No.

Add one yolk to a coffee cup, add about a tablespoon of oil and whisk. It will emulsify almost instantly because there is nothing but fat there. Continue until you have enough, then season it.

Chefs come from the context of having to prep enormous quantities of food. A lot of unitaskers fail for them because they are also designed to be used like once or twice a meal instead of several hundred times. A good chef would be able to do shit faster and better with a knife because that is their skillset. And obviously, learning that skillset is a better use of time for anybody who cares about cooking beyond at-home shit. Unitaskers are more for home cooks who don't care, for their convenience. Some are just objectively bad though.

Oh no no no. Hell no.

Jarred garlic is cooked and pickled in a funny tasting preserving liquid. It's simply not the same thiing. It's also famously a risk for botulism. Throw that crap out and don't buy it again. There's very little application for it.

I don't even like chili-garlic paste. No sriracha. Pasteurized garlic is as nasty as burning it in your pan. Gross. I will only buy chili paste sambal.

Presses are easy to clean or it could be a weird qualitty. Try another brand. I press garlic right through the papers, 1-2 cloves at a time. Spin a fork in there, and papers are flicked out. Reload if needed. Bristle brush one time on each side, and it's scrupulously clean. If it's faster for the job at hand not to have to wash a cutting board and knife, then use the press. Then, back into the drawer.

Pic is how I break a vacuum seal before I unscrew a cap. Good unitasker.

I use a garlic press every day to press an entire bulb of garlic in a single press. The entire process takes about 30 seconds, including washing.

Using a press to extrude garlic allows for a far stronger flavor than crushing or chopping/mincing garlic. This allows you to use less garlic for seasoning purpose.

Tbh some unitaskers are alright. Garlic press being one of them. 95% are crap though.

Tbh the main issue with uniitaskers is that they keep someone from actually learning how to cook or do real knife work. They help someone to put something together but they miss the actual craftsmanship of cooking.

Knife work is fun. Dunno why people avoid it at all costs.

Chopped garlic isn't the same texture as pressed garlic. You'd have to mash it with the side of the knife, and it would take longer than using and cleaning the garlic press. Even a pestle and mortar is better than a knife.

A knife is a unitasker.

The lesson is that you need to ignore cunts that spout simple but wrong rules like "don't own unitaskers" and instead revel in complex but useful rules like "Every time you want to purchase a thing for your kitchen, consider whether it will take space and money from something else that would be more useful to own."

a unitasker means it only serves one purpose for one item/ingredient not that it only does one thing. some meme specialty knives are unitaskers, like cheese knives.

It's easier to bash the garlic with your knife and remove the skin than it is to try and peel it away too. By the time you're doing peeling it you could have just minced some yourself.

The ones that only boil water are. It just happens that boiled water is useful enough that the task kettles perform is of value to more people than the average unitasker.

I would however argue that a kettle with gradated temperature settings is not a unitasker.

kind of? there are 2 aspects that need to go into determining a unitasker.
>what does the item itself do
>how many different things can you use it with
example is one of those apple corer/slicers because you can only use it with apples, it doesn't matter how many things you can bake with apples or how many varieties of apples exist.
a lot of people ITT seem to be leaving out the 2nd part, or trying to pretend that a garlic press isn't a unitasker because you use garlic in multiple dishes, which is retarded

That's because many garlic presses are really badly designed.
A good garlic press has a removable sieve (which you can just run under a faucet to pop out all the bits) and is built entirely from steel, no plastic handles to snap.

Most people don't spend more than 10 minutes a day chopping shit and, most of the time, that's just rough chopping. What people who cook on the regular don't understand is that the vast majority of people have zero knife skills. What takes 5 minutes for you could take them 10-15 minutes, hence all the unitaskers.
