Sounds like that compressor was definitely making noise. Dogs always lose it over hissing sounds for some reason. Still, it's more fun than a normal quiet day in the shop.

Sure, home cooks get it, but saying presentation is half the battle misses the point. Supermarkets push perfect produce because it sells better, plain and simple. Fancy restaurants making ugly veggies cool is just a trend, not some deep truth. The real issue is how we value food based on looks, not taste. That's a hard habit to break, honestly.

Actually it works great if you do it right, maybe @karenw90 just has bad aim. You get to pick the chores you get stuck with.

Isn't it crazy how smells work like time machines? Feels like we all have one specific smell that just throws us right back.
