And in terms of storage, this device is ultra compact, so you don’t have to worry about adding another bulky tool to your kitchen arsenal. When it’s time to clean up, the blades in the Chef’n Garliczoom are easily removed from the chamber — I usually just toss both pieces in my dishwasher.

The Chef’n Garliczoom is incredibly easy to use: Pop a few garlic cloves into the round chamber, then roll the green wheels along your countertop to chop. Simply load a clove of peeled garlic into the GarlicZoom, insert the chopping blade and then roll the GarlicZoom back and forth in short strokes across your counter for finely chopped garlic.

This to me is defeating the purpose I can crush just as quickly with one of my sharp Lakeland knives. In use, the cogs mesh smoothly and the wheels have a pleasing traction, thanks to their thick rubber trim. Plus, I always cook with more than one clove, and I can smash, peel and chop several cloves in about the same time it would take to use a press. If the clove is large, chop it into smaller pieces, or use the Extra Large Garlic Zoom for chopping more cloves at a time.
