Garlic Twist GTA Purple

I bought version 1 many many moons ago, and this fast became my favourite kitchen gadget. I can't do without it!It's great to help peel the garlic, smash it with the base and peel. Easy. Chop the hard nubbin off the end and place into the gadget. Mix and the more you mix the finer the garlic gets minced. It does 4 cloves max. Also works with peeled ginger, but chop it smaller.It's so easy to clean. Garlic is antibacterial, so rinse under a warm tap.Note...We started dishwashing our generation 1 version recently and low and behold, teeth dropped off. Absolutely devastating, especially as they're sooo easy to rinse. Won't be making the same mistake with this one.Glad they've made this generation bigger and more colourful.Highly recommend!

I don't usually write reviews but I was so impressed with this gadget that i feel I need to. It is simply the best Garlic crusher I have ever owned. Using the flat bottom of the substantial, but neat,piece of kit to press each clove in order to remove the skin was effortless and after initially using a little effort for the first twist to start the process so was crushing the garlic gloves, a couple of twist of the wrist and they are crushed to perfection. There is virtually no waste as scraping the garlic out is a dawdle and cleaning the Garlic Twist is just as simple as the YouTube videos show. A quick rinse under the tap removes what little garlic is left in the press. I used it for ginger too, I would say that the ginger needed to be cut into pieces and was slightly tougher for the initial twist but a few twists later I had perfectly crushed/chopped ginger. So much quicker and easier than trying to chop it with a knife and much safer than grating. I was so impressed by this gadget that within hours of getting mine I ordered another one as a gift for a foodie friend.

Good alternative to the standard garlic crushers. Crushes garlic quite easily but can require a little force on the first twist. Sometimes pre chopping larger cloves helps the process along a bit. A firm tap on a work surface usually gets most of the garlic out but on occasions you have to scoop round to get it all out.I've had success using this to mince ginger and chillies, again a little pre chopping makes things easier.The real highlight of this little device is how simple it is to clean, just a rinse or swish in some hot water and the job is done. No more scraping and poking little bits of garlic out of those metal things.A great addition to my kitchen. Highly recommend!

I actually bought another garlic machine from Lakeland but it diced and did not crush and mince so I thought I would try this as I'm mad for kitchen gadgets.Well it's fantastic and to be honest is the only garlic gadget I use now. It's simple, cleans easily with a rinse and gives finely minced and crushed garlic.My biggest tip to get the garlic into two triangles like the YouTube videos is to put the thicker lid side in and turn it upside own to use, then swivel back and forth until you get the two triangles of garlic. Turn it the right side up when finished an lift the lid and you'll get most of the garlic inside on the bottom ready to tap out or scoop out with a spoon or spatula.Love the colour too, and well worth the money for quickness, fun and finely minced garlic.

I love how easy it is to use and clean. And it doesn’t just have to be garlic..chilli, ginger, shallots all get ground up. The only downside is actually getting all the bits of garlic out from between the teeth. I use the other end of a spoon but its still a faff.

I hated using a traditional garlic press. Firstly, because I didn’t have the strength to crush it and secondly because it never crushed the whole clove. There was always lots of waste. With this it’s quick and there’s no waste. After use all you have to do is run it under water to clean it.

Bought for a friend for a birthday. Good quality, thick plastic. Dishwasher proof. It works really well as you can put multiple cloves in at a time so you save time compared to a traditional garlic press. It does struggle a bit chopping up a single clove, a normal garlic press would work better.

This is such a great little kitchen helper. Just peel the garlic cloves, pop them in and twist away. The garlic very quickly becomes minced up and ready to use. There is no waste as all the garlic clove is minced up. So so much better than my old garlic crusher where I had to squeeze handles together and was left with a mush inside and hardly any garlic coming out. The twister is so easy to wash that I don't bother to put it in the dishwasher.Not sure what each generation brings, maybe just a colour! I have a green one given to me in the summer and have bought this lovely purple one for a friend.
