A Simple Garlic Masher

The Garlic Twist

My cool tool for the day is the Garlic Twist. It's very hard plastic so it's easy (and satisfying) to smash the cloves with it to remove the skin. The teeth inside do a great job of quickly mincing two cloves at a time, and it's easy to clean. The polycarbonate from which it is manufactured is dishwasher-safe.

I'm pretty proficient at mincing garlic with a chef's knife, but I find this to be less trouble. It's far superior to any garlic peeler or press I've ever used, even very expensive ones. It's a simple thing, but it works very well.

Thank you sooo much for this recommendation - this has to be the best device in my kitchen! It has made the normally boring job of cutting garlic both easier and a lot more fun. I even bought an extra 2 for my family and they love it too. A winner! :)

A cool tool is anything useful that is superior to comparable items. If you think this tool is inferior suggest a better one. You are welcome to insult a tool, but comments containing insults to individual people will be deleted. Corrections of fact are always welcomed, if stated politely. Recommendations of better tools are dearly wanted and may be elevated to the front page.
