This compact tool makes quick work of cloves of fresh garlic, keeping your hands free of garlic smell and stickiness. The gracefully curved stainless steel rocker is sturdy, allowing downward force and a relaxed rocking motion to effortlessly crush garlic. After being pressed through the perforations, garlic gathers in the rocker, allowing you to crushing cloves until you have just the right amount. Scrape the pieces directly into your pan, then rinse or place in the dishwasher for easy clean up.
