NexTrend 3rd Generation Clear Garlic Twist

I have a few FAVOURITE kitchen gadgets that I absolutely love and THIS is one of them!! I love to cook and make most things from scratch and tend to use A lot of garlic. One of my pet peeves was the preparation of garlic.....! I odered this gadget because, as I've gotten older, my hand strength has decreased and even though I have a very expensive garlic crusher, I could never properly squeeze it. This gadget is SO AMAZINGLY SIMPLE! Smash the clove or several cloves (I've done up to 4 at a time) , remove the skin, throw the cloves in the cup, put the lid on, twist back and forth and it's done!!!!! Perfectly minced. Cleaning is as simple as quickly running under water.....no picking out pieces. It's amazing.....what a great gift for a cook you know or as a wedding present.

Muy útil y fácil de usar

you can adjust how fine you want it and easy to clean

これで簡単にガーリックを潰せます。すごく便利です。食洗機に入れたらなぜか水が中に溜まって出てきません。

For years I've been just slamming garlic with a fist or handy object to remove the husk then chop with a knife. For years I may just slice em up and dump in whatever. Recently I was on a quest to find a garlic press. Can't say why, just decided I wanted something more better than my tried and true manual method, which was great cause I love the smell of garlic on my fingers. Wanna sniff em? Anyway, I looked all over Amazon. Read zillions of reviews of trials and tribulations of various garlic press's. I balked at the price of many and how many had issues with falling apart or having plating chip and fail. I balked at many due to the fact MADE IN CHINA seems to be the mantra. I wont' mention names. Well, I finally decided I'd give this on a try. The 'press' arrived today. I've had a chance to use it on 4 cloves. Bottom line this thing worked great. A few twists and I had nicely ground garlic, better and finer grind then I get by my manual methods (cause I'm always in a rush) The unit was easy to clean with a simple rinse in the sink. I had no issues twisting this model, the new one with the handy knobs grips built in. Course I'm a 54 year old male so maybe it might be a different story if your wrist strength isn't there. The cloves I used for this test were of the 'medium' size and not the giant size. I used two at a time for my test. With the ease it handled those I doubt it would be a issue with 4 medium size cloves at a time. Unless you had some serious arthritis I don't' think anyone would have a problem with this. If someone did, it would be easy enough to chop a giant clove in half before placing it in the unit. Of course you smash the clove first and remove the husk then place it in the unit. The unit makes a handy smasher no separate smashing device required. No plating to fall out and get in your food with this. It looks like high quality acrylic of some sort to me. Far as I know not made in China. That is a major plus on top of it all.
