I'm a fanatic when it comes to kitchen tools. Just like my dad—that was one of his favorite pastimes, too. I'm sure that's where I get my love of wandering the aisles of kitchen stores and discovering what's new. Sometimes you just have to try something different, right?
Garlic Rocker
I was skeptical at first, thinking my trusty garlic mincer was a perfectly serviceable tool. But I couldn't resist testing this Garlic Rocker by Joseph Joseph. The sleek, ergonomic design attracted me, and it came in my favorite lime green color.
The result was a larger mince than my usual garlic mincer, probably about the size that you get with a knife and cutting board. The size is just right when a larger mince is needed and this little gem gets the job done in half the time. And, it just takes a quick rinse to release any little garlic pieces that get caught in the mesh, so cleaning is a breeze. High five on this useful tool!
