"The garlic actually gets chopped, not smashed, which means you get regular pieces that will cook evenly and not scorch. Plus, because the garlic isn’t pressed (something that destroys more of the cell walls) it won’t taste as hot and strong (the smaller the garlic pieces, the more intense the flavor). If you tend to cook with more than one clove at a time, you can get it all chopped at once. The tool is also a great alternative for those who don’t have the hand-strength to squeeze a garlic press. All of the garlic gets chopped and none gets left behind and goes to waste. And because there aren’t any tiny metal holes, cleanup is super easy — just dunk in hot, soapy water." See less
