the BEST OTSUKEMONO PRESS | homemade japanese pickles made easy!

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

🤔 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!

[@helenyalof6479]

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?

[@unsharted_territory]

I just ordered a glass tsukemono press from hario glass and I'm excited to try out your recipes

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

That's fantastic! Having the right tools like the Hario glass tsukemono press can make the pickling process so much more enjoyable. Experimenting with different recipes will surely add a delightful touch to your meals. Wishing you the best in your pickling adventures!

The pickle press is the best invention EVER!! I eat pressed salads all the time. So good

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

hi there! do you use the same brand?what pickles have you tried making so far?

[@Potentialaj]

@@alldayieatlikeashark I don't think what I'm doing is considered pickling. I just let the veggies sit in there for a day or 2 and it comes out very tasty. I've done cabbage, brussel sprouts kale cauliflower.the one I have days Carrot 🥕 on it. Found it on eBay

[@anitaabraham-breaux3789]

How long do you press the pickles and cabbage

[@hazzieandnord]

I ran into this video because my Grandma gave me a Japanese pickle press that I've had for years and just never got around to using, and I wanted to make sure I use it correctly. Thanks for the video.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Yay! Hopefully you can finally use it! You're welcome! :)

[@skripnigor]

Thanks for the review! How does the fermentation gas escape from the press?

[@erinlgardner623]

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.

[@flowingjoy2849]

Thank you for sharing recipe. I always thought that tsukemono is hard to make so I always buy them at a market. I am gonna try at home now . : ) Thank you.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Yep! It's actually not that hard, let me know how it goes if you try it 😊 You can also share it to Instagram and tag me @japanesecookingclub if you like 👌

[@flowingjoy2849]

all day i eat like a shark ues, I will definitely try it very soon. I will let you know. Thank you: )

[@Raynecolwell]

Today I just made some cocktail cucumbers with ginger in my newly bought P.carrot. Excited to see how it turned out.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Wonderful! Excited for you!

you are welcome :) do you like to make japanese pickles at home?

@@Icygirl327 what is your favorite japanese food?

[@namotenashi]

I want to try it.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

how do you usually make your pickles at home?

[@karaokebling2]

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!

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

which green color are you referring to? The one I'm using in the video?

[@karaokebling2]

Yes, that round light green one.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

The otsukemono press is really convenient!

[@draco5991rep]

I am trying to make 牛蒡の漬物 right now, and it is my first time trying to do japanese pickles

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Love it! How was it? :)

[@draco5991rep]

@@alldayieatlikeashark so far surprisingly easy, thought it would be more complicated. Now I have to wait a week according to the recipe I used.

[@madbug1965]

My 93 year old mother uses a five gallon plastic bucket, a 20 lb. rock , and a circular wood board that fits in the bucket.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Wow! what pickles does your mom make at home?

[@nicholassaples8192]

You’re amazing dude I love you ,I’ve got 5 tsukemono presses different sizes and couple square ones too 💔

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Wow that's a lot 🧐 what's your favorite tsukemono?

[@nicholassaples8192]

Hey beautiful man, I gotta answer some questions here for you , the tsukemono press, the kelp konbu question and another question I can't remember but I'll give you the answers in few days. ❤️

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

No worries, thanks Nicolas! :)

[@backintheclay]

I don’t see the links below for recipes?

[@mistymusic7220]

Question if the day - I have not made pickles yet, but I love pickled eggplant and need it in my life.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Try the pickle recipe and let us know how it was :)

[@101life9]

Can I make sourkraut with it?

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

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?

[@BusterKitten]

about a two gallon clay pot, a round wood lid, 4 softball size river rock. This is what we used to make our pickled vegetables when I was a boy.

[@kamarbazarek8881]

Do I see Mikan behind you??? I tried to make miso based pickle (EPIC FAIL). I am interested in the circular version. Will use for carrots, eggplant, cucumbers.....

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

what happened to your miso based pickle? let me know how it goes with this circular version :)

[@AvatarMakusan]

If you want to continue increasing your daily intake of microplastics most definitely use this gadget for making pickled food. Glass and clay pottery are the best materials to use for pickling.

I watch these vids so I can learn to be more self-sufficient.

Thank you so much! Happy to be of help :)

ナス漬物、is the eggplant raw?

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

yes :)

[@animequeen78]

Salt kills the bitter stuff in eggplant.

[@ezralimm]

THey are so expensive to import to australia....

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Aww! 🥺 If I may ask, how much did it cost?

[@curbhitter]

I got mine from Amazon, not Japan. I live in the U.S. (Hawaii).

[@femkeborcheld56]

Thanks, interesting. Actually there are lots of glass pickle-presses.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

Thank you, Femke

[@TimFromLA]

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.

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

i would want some seeds. i grow some greens in my house :)

Well my darllng handsome gorgeous beautiful man, one reason is because its quicker to make nukazuke because its easier to force out water a little quicker ,then I leave it for a few days before I put into Japanese wooden crockpot with plenty konbu in my nuka

[@alldayieatlikeashark]

This is very interesting. Using the wooden crockpot is very traditional and is still being used by many.
