I forgot to say that it's useful for core pops. This didn't cross my mind before. But yeah, you can suck out the centers of a semi-frozen pop (because it freezes edge-inwards) and put something else in, so you can make your own creamsicles conveniently. And it gives a better texture, there's probably a scientific reason but you get less crystallized ice bits. And we still use the thing after three months so gosh!

I'm defending a kitchen appliance. This is what the Internet does to you.

Oh, that is nice.

Well, that's really no different from everyone bitching at me for buying a quesadilla press. It's totally useless...right up until I used it to make dinner in 15 minutes.

Anyway, I support the popsicle machine.

Soon the entire forum will be divided into the Popsicle Machine faction and the Anti-Popsicle Machine faction, and there will be an epic battle.

The Popsicle Machine faction will win, because the icy-fresh popsicles will numb the wounds incurred by the fight.

I'd definitely side with the quesadilla press, wherever its loyalties lie.

[Sirus]

I side with the George Foreman grill machine! Have you ever tried cooking sandwiches on one of those things? They are perfection 99% of the time.

Come back when you've made a ramensicle.

I just use an ordinary flatbed sandwich toaster. In fact, I can't see how a quesadilla press would be anything but an ordinary flatbed sandwich toaster, with maybe a sticker saying QUESADILLAS on it.

Also: Vinegarsicle. I don't know how well CH3COOH freezes, but you can find out!

Step 1) get two large pans or pots
Step 2) use those to squish flat your dough between some wrap or baking paper or whatever

Yeah using a dedicated flattener makes sense if you've got the space and need to make commercial / large social gathering quantities, but you probably already had more than two large flat heavy surfaces to crush things flat between in the first place.

I'm not against gadgets, I'm just against people buying overpriced and pointless gadgets to fill inconveniences rather than actual needs. That being said, I do love my ice-cream machine and pasta press, but at least I use those each at least once every other week, sometimes multiples if I have the time. I guess just buy whatever but remember to ask yourself 'am I buying this to be lazy or because I need it' before impulse buying these things.

Unless they're cookbooks. Impulse buy those erry day.

e: unless I'm reading this wrong and thinking that there's a difference between a tortilla press and a quesadilla press? Is the latter a toaster as well? Then yeah you should have one but if you got one ~designed for quesadillas~ then it's not doing anything special.

[Scelly9]

Why do you have to be so negative? Lighten up!

Food thread. I once had a deep fried Jalapeno stuffed with a baby ruth, then served on a small bed of funnel cake. It pleased me much. Both in the way it disgusted my friends, and how it tasted.

When we went to Austria, our relatives called us over for lunch every day for two weeks. For two weeks, we literally ate nothing in the fruit or vegetable category (except seasonings!). We would get buns, cold cuts and cheese when we weren't being served a meat dish, which was almost always. It was great.

It's a toaster that cuts and seals the quesadillas into neat little triangle pockets. Also, it was only $15.

I haven't been here a day yet and everything I've said has been interpreted as some manner of personal attack, insult, or attempt to just stir shit. Just because I don't agree with something doesn't mean I'm here to eat children! If you go through life ignoring any opinion or statement that's not your own or agrees and supports your own, you're going to have a pretty shallow life. It's important to gain some perspective and insight on everything you do, from buying kitchen gadgets to personal issues. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean you get to stick your fingers in your ears, sing loudly, and declare my opinion irrelevant because you didn't want to listen to it (and then tell me to get out and start my own thread with blackjack and hookers as in other threads already today)

Anyway, food talk.

Sounds delicious but your colon must have screamed bloody murder. Roughage is good! If you don't like vegetables then you're eating shitty vegetables!

Well a solid-plate press is better but that's ok. I guess you could always use it to make jaffles as well.

[Blargityblarg]

Mate, you're free to disagree; just think about wording a bit more, you come off as a little caustic, even if you don't mean to.

I don't prefer the solid plate, because I wind up cutting the damned things up anyway. (The pizza cutter is a particularly handy tool.) Also, I have a "jaffle" maker that's nearly as old as I am, (my parents bought it when I was four.) I use the damn thing nearly every day. My daughter loves it. The difference between the jaffle-maker and the quesadilla press is that the quesadilla press takes round burrito-sized tortillas, where you can only put regular sized bread in the jaffle-maker.
