There are more and more utensils and small appliances that not only make life easier in the kitchen, but their characteristics mean that preparations can be done in less time and/or better.
An example of these elements is the electric chopper. Perfect to complement the blender, this utensil has the capacity to chop, crush and chop. But is there an alternative to grinding without the need for a grinder or containers? TikTok user @mascanariaqueelgofio42 has the answer, yes.
The tiktoker, a Canarian who shares tips and tricks, explains that to replace the grinder, only two items are enough: a hand mixer and plastic wrap.
According to your video tutorial, you have to use the mixer upside down; That is, the propellers are facing up so you can see what is being crushed. In the space of the propellers you put what you want to grind, such as seeds.
Once the space has been filled, cover it with plastic wrap and then start the mixer. The purpose of the transparent paper is to prevent the product being ground from flying and being scattered throughout the kitchen.
When it is ground, the paper is removed and the operation is repeated as many times as necessary, according to the preparation that has to be prepared.
Although there are those who have been surprised by this curious technique that can be effective in times of need, there are those who are skeptical. Given that the Canary Islands presents the technique as a “little trick for grinding without a container”, some Internet users doubted whether it would be the same with coffee.
It should be noted that, although these techniques can be effective in specific moments, it is important to respect the correct uses of household appliances to prevent them from being damaged by giving them a use other than that for which they were designed.
