Chef'n GarlicZoom Garlic Chopper, Handheld Garlic & Herb Slicer, Dishwasher Safe, 6.5 x 5.5 x 8.5cm, Green

Product Information

Aside from the fact that it's smelly and often difficult to peel, it also has a tendency to leave you with sticky fingers once you're finally able to get the job done. I find myself whipping out the Chef’n Garliczoom a few times a week now, and I haven’t bought another jar of minced garlic since purchasing it.

I’m the first to admit my knife skills are subpar, and garlic cloves are so small already that I really struggled to mince them evenly (and safely) by hand.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. Sure, there are tons of tips and tricks out there that supposedly make chopping the pungent herb ten times easier, but none of them really compare to the life-changing Garlic Zoom XL. I popped one clove in, rolled the Zoom back and forth on my counter, and checked out the results — a poor, uneven chop. Think of it as a handy container with a blade and a set of wheels at the bottom — all you have to do is pile 3 to 4 pieces of peeled garlic into the container, close the lid, and roll the tool back and forth until your garlic is finely chopped.

The Garlic Zoom is top rack dishwasher safe for easy care and its compact design takes up little space in your kitchen. For cleaning carefully remove the blade which is sharp and either wash in warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher. This updated take on the Chef’n classic fits more garlic cloves, opens completely for easy access to the good garlicky stuff and is designed for quick and easy cleaning without having to handle those sharp little blades. This version of the classic Microplane zester/grater has a premium soft-touch handle and non-scratch end tabs.

As a result, I became accustomed to coming across unsavory chunks of garlic in the dishes I was preparing and sometimes the occasional finger cut. If the clove is large, chop it into smaller pieces, or use the Extra Large Garlic Zoom for chopping more cloves at a time. I’m by no means a prolific chef, but like many people, my culinary pursuits infinitely expanded during the pandemic — more as a way to pass time than solely a way to subsist. As I see it, if I’m already using a knife and it can get the job done, why would I want to get another thing dirty?
