"you see this!? this is finger squish! stop doing this to my avocado!" lmaoooo I love how just simple and direct Saul's directions are in his recipe videos.

@fishsquishguy1833 3 ай бұрын

I have to admit, I squeeze avocados. I do check color but it’s not always correct for me and if I remove the stem part to check I thought the avocados turn quicker? Avacodos are like bananas for me. They have like a two day window where they’re great and that’s it.

What a great dad and chef! He loves chicken tacos because his kids are crazy about them. And only playing in the kitchen when his kids are around because he makes it fun. That’s a great guy and a tasty recipe. I especially appreciated the tortillas instructions. Makes so much sense to do it that way.

@TheJesselopez1981 4 ай бұрын

With laws you have to be careful with your wording. Making squashing avocados illegal would make guacamole illegal contraband as you have to squash avocados to make it. Squeezing avocados while still whole by hand should be illegal.

Pinzas are an awesome tool that I think don't get enough credit. We have 5 pairs in our kitchen but when we go to friends, they never use them. I'm not sure they own any except for the grill. People, buy some tongs they are so versatile. Call them pinzas because it fun to say and much more descriptive than tongs.
