Product Description
Color: Clear
The Garlic Twist is a handy little tool that is fun and easy to use. It is designed to replace the problem-prone garlic press or the tedious hand-mincing of garlic using a chef?s knife. At the heart of each Garlic Twist is a matching set of cross-cutting mincing teeth that allows garlic cloves to be minced to perfection. There is no waste of garlic and it rinses easily. The Garlic Twist has won an unprecedented three industry awards in 2007. Made in the USA. 3.25 inches

Suggestions about the Garlic Twist,
By
This review is from: NexTrend Garlic Twist - Clear
I've owned the Garlic Twist for years, so I've figured out how to get the best use out of it. I peel the garlic clove(s) using a chef's knife (as described below), then cut each clove into half. That makes it much easier to get the twist going. It is very difficult to get it started with large garlic cloves, but works well if you cut them in half. It's still better and faster than mincing them. My other pice of advice: Don't wash it in the dishwasher! I got lazy and washed mine on the top shelf of my dishwasher and the plastic cracked, allowing water in. I'm ordering another one (after three years of use) because of this. I'll be hand-washing from now on!

Twist that garlic!,
By
This review is from: NexTrend Garlic Twist - Clear
This was an impulse purchase, but I use it almost every day. Smash the cloves with the cover to remove the skins, then drop the cloves (I've used up to five) into the container and slowly lower and twist the cover. The garlic gets shredded and pushed into two little triangles for easy use.
The first time I used it, I had wet hands and had trouble doing the twisting, but after a couple of tries, I was loving it.

You can't beat the garlic press!,
By Serendipity (Somewhere in the West) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NexTrend Garlic Twist - Clear
I bought one of these a few months ago but unfortunately it spends a lot more time in my kitchen drawer than my regular garlic press. Here is what I do like about it:
1. The idea of whacking an unpeeled clove of garlic in order to take the skin off more easily is great, but this can be done with any hard, flat object or even the side of a chef's knife blade. 2. Unlike a garlic press, the Garlic Twist gives you uniform pieces of chopped garlic. A garlic press leaves you with a flattened skin that you have to either discard or chop up by hand. UNFORTUNATELY, and this is where the garlic press wins out by my standards, it is difficult for my lady-like hands to "get the Garlic Twist going." After the garlic has gone through a few destructive twists, it is simple enough to continue until you reach the desired size of chunks. However, the first few twists are quite difficult to execute, as you have to press the two parts together quite hard, while simultaneously turning them, to keep them from popping apart and jumping over the garlic rather than punching through it. This problem occurs even with just one clove. Interesting idea, but the classic garlic press is still my favorite. Sometimes I grate garlic on a ginger grater or a Microplane grater. For larger quantities, the Zyliss chopper might do the job but I've never tried. For the Garlic Twist, however, the drawbacks out-weigh the advantages. 2115|R1LY14LC0W1TJG;2115|R3KAS438AI1KFW;2115|R3ILTI652G9IE7;
