I don’t know why but I started using the spatula for everything a few months ago, stirring, scraping, serving….. it’s a nice tool. The second thing you show is also used to make Spätzle, it’s called a Spätzlespress 😉
We had a potato ricer when we were teens, and it was fun to try briefly but for regular use it was a pain in the caboose! And didn’t rice many potatoes at once. Plus you had to really push hard to get them thru and then there’s always some squished potatoes at the bottom kinda stuck to the bottom. Another thing is some family members liked lumpy potatoes,……go figure! I guess when you put in enough real butter and cream, salt and pepper, they taste good no matter. lol 😂 Ours was old…probably used to be our grandmother’s. It had holes partway up the sides too.
I’m not sure what this says about me, but I prefer my mashed potatoes to have chunks. Completely silky mash really does make me think I am eating baby food.
If you’re like me and watch Gordon Ramsey hating on people that use a thermo pen, just remember he’s a full time Michelin star chef and knows meat by touching it, most people who cook at home don’t have or need that skill and the thermo pen is much safer than potentially giving yourself food poisoning.
I think I’m finally getting there with My kitchen, I have four out of the five. I don’t have the ricer but I don’t like those super smooth mashed potatoes and have no need to make baby food right now
Check! All in 🤣

I agree with you about using a thermometer, but ive always gotten good results by touch with my steak. Maybe I’m just lucky.
Mandolin, sliced potatoes, sliced finger tips… its a beauty
I didn’t used to use the handle thing w my mandolin and learned my lesson the hard way by cutting the tip off my thumb 😅
I don’t understand why people have started wanting zero texture to their mashed potatoes
Hey, anyone reading. Use the guard for the mandolin, I cut the tip of my index clean off while cutting potatoes a few years back.
And remember the Golden Rule of the Mandolin:
Do not serve your finger shavings with the meal.
If you’re trying to get someone to use the safety features of a kitchen gadget, admitting that you don’t use them probably isn’t the way to go
My family is over the moon after watching this and realizing they use all of those. My years of kitchen babble weren’t for nothing! 😜
We’ve got them all (my brother is an avid home cook) and the mandolin SCARES me, bro. You can lose a finger in a microsecond with that thing.
Mandoline, I cannot look at one without flashback to blood and potatoes. We’ve all been to Vietnam.
Already have, any other wuggestions?
I’ve cut my hand too many times on the mandolins.
The spatula, AKA the most important tool in the kitchen.
1 isn’t heat proof it’s resistant
Yeah. Recommending mandolins to random people at home via YT and letting them know you never use the guard even though you know you should…
You are an agent of chaos keeping emergency departments busy.
Home cooks do not need a mandolin.
I’m always terrified using the mandolin, even with the guard. I just know I’m gonna love the ends of my fingers making scalloped potatoes
I watched that episode of Clarkson’s farm… I’m using the guard on the mandolin
If you make mash without the lumps you’ve made it wrong

Fun fact: this guy never stops waiving his arms on this video
But yes, the Maryse is amazing. So extremely useful
My mom bought special gloves for our mandolin
Aint got room for any of this in my kitchen
cooking school
chef using mandolin talking said "you should always use a guard, I dont as i am a professi.ohshit"
I use a cut proof glove with my mandolin. Must have.
4 of 5 collected !
I use both the guard & the glove with my mandolin. Otherwise way too much blood in the cucumber salad😂
I’m sorry but for a steak… temperature doesn’t matter, it’s all about consistency. Thermometer for all other meat though
these arent normal things in peoples homes?!?!
The masher would be good for certain foods, but i want granularity in my mashed potatoes.
The ricer is over rated😅
But I like lumpy mash! Got that good mouth feel
I chopped my fingertip off slicing chilis with a mandolin. That was painful for weeks, and it still hurts shen I bump my middle finger into things😣
I’m not sure what this says about me, but I prefer my mashed potatoes to have chunks. Completely silky mash really does make me think I am eating baby food.
The must cook with a thermal pen should be the answer to “what are you looking for in a partner” question on dating apps.

Got em… thanks for the vindication, my wife can’t say "you’re not a chef" anymore 😂
But… But… I like my mash potatoes lumpy
I think I’m finally getting there with My kitchen, I have four out of the five. I don’t have the ricer but I don’t like those super smooth mashed potatoes and have no need to make baby food right now
Done ☑️
Rarely used the thermometer 😂
Noooooo I’ve had stitches twice from the mandolin. One of them had to sew my fingertip back on!
The Mandolin. For some reason sharp enough to cut gods.

Always use the guard on the mandolin, I got careless and didn’t, nearly lost a knuckle.
I have all the Utensils in this video and love them. Thank you, Chef Andy.
Hey neat, I already have those! I prefer lumpy mashed potatoes so I don’t use the ricer all that often, but I got it!
Huh, I’ve got them all. Maybe I should get one of those hats?
