    ...The Book...

    I think we need a Topic to discuss Meathead's wonderful, wonderful book. Mine arrived this afternoon, here in Germany some 20 miles north of Frankfurt :-)

    I think folks are using it to cure insomnia.

      So, to get the ball rolling: Garlic Presses... Meathead recommends one on page 113 for recipes that ask for puréed garlic. Of course, they work. However, for the last 15 years I've been using a super-fine Microplane to get even better results. Clean up is far easier, and you lose less of each clove (as anyone who's cleaned out the skin from a garlic press will attest). I hope Meathead doesn't regard this as a criticism...just a pointer an *an even better* way of getting fresh garlic purée :-)

        I have used a zyliss press for years. I recently started using my microplane instead and I completely agree with you, Tongmaster

      You can always just throw the cloves into a food processor as well. I use a garlic press but skin the cloves first and zap them in the microwave for about 3-5 seconds or blanch them first. Makes the press work better. If I used the plane I would cut my hands lol.

        Very hard to cut your hands on a small microplane/zester martybartram . Practically impossible, I think.

        You obviously are not familiar with my track record with sharp objects. LOL They know me by first name at the ER.

      I love my microplane. Never used it on garlic though! Whenever i eat an orange I get the zest off and dry it just by letting it sit in a bowl overnight. Ditto for lemons and limes.

        I just bought the Kindle edition. Haven't opened it yet, however. Maybe this week while I'm away for a few days at the beach.

          You're going to really enjoy the Kindle version. Unlike most books OCR'd into Kindle format, this one doesn't suffer from all of the goofy typos that most scanned-but-not-proof-read books do. Pics and tables are rendered perfectly, too! As a bonus, it's much lighter than the paper version ... ...

          Not many entries so far. Odds are good!
