5.0 out of 5 stars
Much higher quality than I had anticipated,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harold Imports Garlic Pro Dicer (Kitchen)
Why I bought this:
I bought this little thing because I do quite a bit of Chinese cooking, much of which requires some form of diced/minced garlic. The problem is, my wife would complain that my fingers reeked of garlic during the following days. Realizing that the frequency of my contact with garlic was inversely proportional to the frequency of getting some action in the bedroom, I resorted to using disposable latex gloves while I worked with garlic to avoid the subsequent stench. Needless to say, this became an inconvenient and discouraging hindrance to an otherwise enjoyable cooking session. The solution: In comes the Garlic Pro Dicer! It dices, it... dices. Ok well, that's all it claims to do. The first impression: Upon opening the package, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of heft the unit has. On top of that, the material appears to be high-impact plastic. I experimented a few times by dropping the product, first from a 6-inch height, then 12 inches, then 2 feet. I was excited. As I dangled the poor thing at a record 90 cm (that's 3 feet, folks), the wife barges in from the bedroom and demands that I stop making a ruckus. Using the dicer: I got out some of the peeled garlic we bought from the local Chinese market, and dropped 4 into the dicer. The top piece went down with some trouble, because I had to avoid the pieces of garlic as the blades went down. Apparently, these blades cannot force its way down. You will know what I mean once you use it. With a bit of elbow grease, I managed to make the first cut. The amount of strength required on the first turn was akin to opening a sealed pickle jar. Subsequent turns were much easier, although large, flat pieces tend to become stuck onto the sides, thus avoiding their inevitable fate. Tips: Upon placing the two halves together after inserting garlic, I realized that I could do myself a favor by aligning the blades of both pieces so that they overlap each other at the same location, thus avoid the garlic bumping fiasco altogether. Also, my wife had trouble making the first turn with 4 pieces of garlic simultaneously; 3 was manageable. After the first turn, you may want to shake the garlic inside a bit to redistribute the aforementioned flat pieces. This ensures maximal efficiency in garlic dicing and time-saving. Conclusion: All in all, I was able to cut down (no pun intended) my garlic mincing time to about 1 minute, including clean-up and washing. The bedroom has once again become a scene of activity, and my hands are once again for touching my wife, instead of garlic.

This product works okay. Will handle larger quantity of garlic cloves than your standard garlic press. But the crushed garlic is hard to remove from around the blades, and the gadget is overall hard to clean.
