Isn't that literally a model which folds for easy storage?

Yes and then swivels back into the open position after you close the drawer!

And the stopping of the drawer is always so violent as well, contributing to the whole "No, fuck you man!" feeling of it all

Thanks, this gave me a good chuckle!

Why do you need something specifically to mash potatoes? Wouldn't a fork do?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

you've clearly never tried to mash a large quantity of potatoes with a fork.

it's the same reason people like pasta rollers even though a rolling pin will technically get the job done. 2 hours or sweating and panting as you roll with all your might will get you to understand real quick.

You can also cut bread with a silverware knife but it's not as easy or fast

If you don't need it but like once a year or once every few years, sure a fork will work. It's a pain but doable.

It's the reason I don't own a mortar and pestle. The few times I do need something like that, I just use two bowls or spoons or whatever I have on hand. It sucks but it's once in a while so it's not worth precious cabinet space.

Why would you need a floor brush for brushing something so specific?
