Mashing, Grating, Grinding & Mixing Tools

chinois Notes: This fits on top of a deep container and mashes food that pressed through it.

eggbeater Substitutes: Beat mixture vigorously with a fork OR shake mixture in a sealed jar

grater

ice pick

mallet Substitutes: rolling pin OR hammer

meat grinder

mortar and pestle Substitutes: coffee grinder OR crush with a rolling pin

peppermill Substitutes: mortar and pestle OR coffee grinder

potato masher

salt mill Notes: Trendy cooks fill this gadget with expensive sea salt crystals so that they season their food with freshly ground salt. It's not clear why they do this, since salt is an inorganic mineral and, unlike pepper and other spices, doesn't become stale once ground. Substitutes: mortar and pestle OR place salt in a plastic bag, seal, then crush the salt with a rolling pin.
