  • in this video, i'll review my preferred otsukemono press (japanese pickle press) and explain why i like it as well as a few of my tips for using it!
    as you may know, otsukemono is an important part of traditional japanese cuisine (washoku). and because of that, i created a workshop called the otsukemono workshop so you can make this important aspect of japanese meal at home! click the link above to learn more!

    if you aren't familiar with japanese pickles or otsukemono お漬物, one of the key steps to make certain types of pickles is to remove water from the vegetables.
    there are of course, several ways to do this-
    1. like my grandmothers did - use a couple of dishes and a rock to press it out.
    2. use only salt.
    3. use a combination of weight/salt
    4. use an otsukemono press + salt!
    and as for the types of vegetables that you'll want to use inside this tsukemono press? many including japanese cucumber, daikon radish, napa cabbage, and more!
    if you've seen my reviews for tofu presses (links below) you may realize i'm all about convenience and practicality. while these vegetable presses are specialized devices, they do make your life easier. and not just that, give you peace of mind. which in my opinion is priceless.🥰
    😛 so if you're looking to get started making otsukemono, or have already been making japanese style pickles for a while now, perhaps this japanese pickle press is something you'd want to check out!
    🤔 question of the day - have you tried making homemade otsukemono (japanese pickles) yet? if so, what have you made already? and is this tsukemono press something that you think would help you? lmk in the comments!

      I watched your video, enthusiastically bought the press and made 2 rounds of great salt pickles (One with a little sugar too) . Thanks so much! But my question is how do you store the leftovers? Do you keep the water that rises to the top of the press? Do you put back on the leftover pickles when you store it in the fridge? Or in other woreds what's the best way to keep these wonderful pickles for another day?

    Thank you for making this video! I just got a tsukemono press and am excited to try it, but wondering if it would work for making other types of pickles or ferments (like sauerkraut)? I wasn't sure if that would be a good idea given it's made out of plastic so longer fermentation times might degrade it.

    The green color one is also great that you don't have to open the cover to dump out all the liquid out. You just tilt it and the liquids comes right out between the cover and container. I love mine!

      I've never tried to make kraut in this. It should work in theory, but I've never tried it. It's not a bad idea to test a little batch. It's important to remember that it needs to ferment for a few days, which is why it's normally done in a crock with a heavy dish on top. Would you give it a try?

  • @TimFromLA
    @TimFromLA Před 4 lety +2

    My mom has the same press and she makes tsukemono. Also, I saw your video on Yuzukoshi. My mom has a Yuzu tree and she made Yuzukoshi. She ground the skin, and it's in a powder form. About two pounds. Next, she'll mix it with habanero, black pepper, jalapeno, and other spices. Would you want some seeds? Instead of buying your yuzu, you grow and make your own. Good luck finding it in a nursery, it seems that Japan is getting stingy.
