On smaller cloves it crushes the clove when taking off the peel so that storing the unpeeled cloves can't last very long. But that' s OK if you're going to use them right away.

I cook a lot and found myself buying pre-minced garlic jars, just to avoid peeling the skin off of the garlic cloves. It is glued on, I am sure of it. I was reading some article somewhere about random things on Amazon that are super helpful and affordable. This was one of those highlighted items. I have no regrets in buying this. It cleans off a garlic clove with minimal effort and is easy to clean. I gave it four stars instead of 5, because you have to give it a little umphf to get the skin off. Not as much as you need to use when you clean a clove without this tool - but it isn't like one spin through the tool and the skin is off. You may need to give it a few rolls.

Very unimpressed.First of all, it doesn't exactly roll smoothly. The ribs on the outside tend to give the feeling that you're rolling a box-shaped object. It also doesn't roll on a flat (counter-top) surface; it seems to only work - badly - in your hands. And the garlic clove wants to pop out, unless you hold it with the large opening facing straight up.Next, the cross-shaped opening, through which you pass the rolled clove, is a bit too big, and doesn't make any kind of seal that grabs and strips the remaining, loosened skin. Basically, it's just a smaller opening than the big hole on the other side. Reminded me of the oversized, loose fitting clothes my mother would buy me as a child, anticipating that always-pending growth spurt! My cloves just went through unharmed and un-peeled.I made a few attempts using average sized cloves - not too small, and not elephant garlic sized giants.This was not a very good purchase, in my opinion.

So, what the video and instructions DO NOT TELL YOU, you need to cut tip and base off each clove. WITH BOTH ENDS SNIPPED, after 5 counter rolls, skins won't come off completely. After 10 counter rolls, skins loosened enough to remove with fingernail assistance. Once cut, 10 counter pressure rolls didn't REMOVE skins as shown. But, it did loosen them enough to -- with fingernails -- remove skins. After 10 counter rolls, skins loosened enough to remove with fingernail assistance. Cleaning and smell afterward slightly pungent leaving me to believe that long term use will relate to overwhelming scent when opening drawer it's stored in.

I have paid a LOT of money for "supposedly " the best garlic chopper/mincer/crusher.This is BY FAR the tool for mincing garlic I have ever seen. It is easy to use, just peel and cut the garlic in pieces, not small just cut each clove in half. Put 6-8 pieces in the grinder, carefully put the top half in the alignment hole and slowly twist while putting a little pressure on the top and bottom halves. Twist back and forth until the resistance in both directions is about the same. Note: get a little brush like an acid brush, or a 1/2" wide stiff oil painting brush.Remove the top half, setting the bottom half down. Use the small brush to move the garlic bits to a small saucer. Take the bottom half, press up on the part sticking out to move the white plate with all the garlic on it up to the point where the grinding points are below the plate. Then take a knife or other flat object and scrape the garlic into the container with the rest of the garlic.BOOM, you are done or ready to grind more!

Like you, I'm sure, we've tried them all, the squishers, the graters, the whatever, they all waste a lot of garlic and/or produce a lot of unwanted juice. Well no more, this tool works great. While it cannot chop as large amount at once, it does chop correctly and yes, finely chop, very satisfying, no juice, and so easy to clean. If only they had a raising platter on each side, but hey, we bought 5 more to give to our friends and familly because, this is as good as it gets! Oh yeah, and we also use it for ginger, works fine

This is an excellent peeler at a low price. Unfortunately, the instructions to use not entirely clear and at first, you tend to conclude that the product doesn't work.Here are a couple of suggestions for the most effective use:Don't overload it. Put only 2, or 3 cloves in it.Roll the peeler back and forth, while pressing down, firmly on the big opening.Check, without waiting too long for the peeled clove to pop out.Many times what is in the inside still is peeled, or some fragments of the peel can be easily removed with your fingers.Love it.

La verdad es que necesitaba un picador de dientes de ajo que me ahorrara el tiempo y el esfuerzo que cuesta picarlos con un cuchillo sobre una tabla. Y me decidí por este modelo después de mirar unos cuantos.El picador es muy fácil de usar y hace su trabajo en pocos segundos sin apenas esfuerzo. La limpieza posterior de los restos de ajo es muy sencilla.... pero a medias. La parte inferior (donde se colocan los dientes) es muy fácil de limpiar porque el fondo se puede levantar, pero la parte superior no lo es tanto porque las "cuchillas" complican un poco las tareas de limpieza.Aún así lo recomiendo, ya que una vez retirados los restos de ajo es es muy fácil de lavar y secar. Y por el precio que tiene no se puede pedir mucho más.

Garlic Chop Garlic Chopper: GREATGarlic Chop Garlic Chopper Packaging: HORRIBLEI can't score this gadget down for its packaging. But the molded stiff plastic is awful. It took me about 10 minutes to get the chopper out, all the while being mindful of how easy it would be to slice open my skin on the sharp edges of plastic created by the heavy duty kitchen shears I needed to cut through the plastic and extricate the chopper.The chopper itself is wonderfully easy to use, which was a concern for me because I have small hands and not a whole lot of hand strength. But I was able to swiftly and easily grind six cloves of garlic (two at a time) for spaghetti sauce I made the other day, all in less than a minute. Happy!I'm not sure why anyone would think the chopper needs to be put in the dishwasher for cleaning. Push the button and most of the chopped garlic will fall out. I keep a small toothbrush near my kitchen sink for cleaning around tight spaces. I clean each half of the chopper by holding it with one hand under hot running water (one fingertip covering the hole so water doesn't get inside), then brushing away any garlic residue down the drain with the toothbrush in the other hand. If you're planning to use it for both garlic and ginger and want to use a bit of dish soap to ensure there's not transfer of odors, just put a small drop of it on the toothbrush before you commence cleaning the chopper. Set the two halves aside to dry. Easy peasy!
