I’ve always been skeptical of garlic devices: the peelers, the presses, the choppers. They seem hard to clean and are sort of like all the pointless products in CHOW’s story on 10 items you will never need. But this Garlic Twist actually works. No more chopping. It peels and minces garlic with minimal effort and cleans easily, and the plastic never smells bad. You can watch the musically enhanced video presentation that shows you what you’d understand in a minute if you were to hold this in your hands.
Garlic Twist, $14.98
I posted this gadget on a thread on the cookware board a while back and got slammed on how useless garlic tools are.
I love “The Twist” use it all the time even a year after I purchased it! It really is easy and saves time when doing multiple cloves (I can fit 6).
