Chef'n Garlic Zoom

Chopping garlic and managing to have your hands smell good afterwards is always quite the task. Moreover, trying to cut up those already small cloves into tiny pieces is even harder! Usually you get out that big chopper that you push down on it a lot all for that measly piece of garlic. Well, in reality, all you need is the Chef'n Garlic Zoom. With this small and compact tool, you can mince garlic up with ease and walk away with smelly-free hands.

Chef'n became a company back in 1982 when they created the Garlic Machine. Being based in Seattle has not stopped them from producing over 250 products and their company's motto is "Tasteful Ingenuinity". Some of the Chef'n products include the Palm Peeler, Pepper Grinder, and Salad Spinner. Of these many products, several have won awards and special titles. The Chef'n Garlic Zoom may be small but it definitely has its features. The Garlic Zoom is made of clear plastic, which allows you to see when you want your garlic to be chopped, which is certainly good. The blades on this Chef'n product have the ability to be taken out and washed or if you just want to take the blade out and store the garlic that's fine too. The entire Garlic Zoom is dishwasher safe. The rolling wheels have rubber exteriors that allow for easy traction on your kitchen counter. The gears and plastic that hold the blades in place is lime green colored. The blades are very sharp and can cut up your garlic in less than ten seconds -- a statement that I have tested. The garlic is inserted in one end while it is chopped -- simply by rolling this little gadget around -- and stored in the opposite end.

The Chef'n Garlic Zoom held about two cloves max per use; this is usually the maximum that use anyways so this capacity worked out well. To use the Garlic Zoom, just open up the container and put the clove of garlic in the console. Then, close it shut and start rolling it on the counter, table, refrigerator, or really whatever you can find that is a good smooth surface. Your garlic will be chopped in less than ten seconds. The speed at which you roll the Garlic Zoom does influence how fast the garlic is minced. The great thing about the Garlic Zoom was that it's all dishwasher safe but really, to clean it, all you need to do is rinse it in some soapy water. Are you starting to see how much easier life can be with this Chef'n Garlic Zoom? I sure hope so. I am so happy that I purchased this Chef'n Garlic Zoom because now I know my garlic "chopping by hand" days are over. If you could not tell already, I love this chopper and think it is such a great and fast tool in the kitchen. With this Garlic Zoom, you can easily add garlic to a dish in a matter of seconds. For just $10 on Amazon.com, you too can experience a meal with garlic without smelling it on you afterwards.
