3rd Generation Green Garlic Twist

I love mine so much that when friends see me using it, they say, "I want one of those!" Easy to use, easy to clean, and works with all sorts of foods! It's a kitchen staple!

Didn't think I'd like it as mine was obviously returned by someone else who didn't wash it after use, but I gave it a try whole thinking I'd be returning it. SuRPRISE. I Love it. So easy to ise, SOooo easy to use. Quick, efficient and Compact . Way neater than the mess I make with my knife on cutting board method and neater than the rolling garlic press I also bought. It's a keeper.

This does work pretty well for garlic. The more you put in, the harder it is to turn. 4 cloves are pretty easy, 6 is still doable, but that’s about it for me, at a time. I found it far harder to use on ginger, which makes sense. You have to chop it in pretty small pieces first, and this will do a decent job on the final mince. Easy to rinse off and just throw in the dishwasher. A little more leverage on the handle would be appreciated- this wouldn’t work very well for people with arthritis or other issues with their hands.

The title says it all. I've been around the bend trying to find something that makes the onerous task of chopping garlic faster and easier. This is by far the best solution I've found. Quick, easy, and effective.Very easy to clean if you do it immediately. If you let the garlic residue get dry before washing it, you're going to have a chore on your hands.

Came across this item in a vacation rental and ordered it online before we left. Lever-style garlic crushers clog and are nearly impossible to use effectively. A few twists of the Garlic Twist and you have the desired result with no fuss. The only downside is that it can be difficult to get the crushed garlic out. I found that using a plastic fork works well without scratching or damaging the unit.BONUS TIP: If you cut the stem end of the garlic cloves and put them in the microwave for a few seconds (until they pop) you can simply squeeze the clove from the skin without having to pare them with a knife.

I previously used a garlic press and would have to readjust the garlic inside to get results. The garlic twist is crazy easy to use and gets all the garlic minced. I've used it several times so far with as much as six cloves inside. The initial twist is a little difficult but I'd expect that. It very quickly gets easy to twist and lots of lovely garlic bits are the result.The only odd thing about this is the top half showed what I believe was condensation inside after washing it. I tried running it under water to see if the lid would fill but didn't discover any entry points. I was concerned that moisture in there would be an issue but so far, so good. I hope this thing lasts a while; it does such an amazing job!

This seems like such a popular device, that I won't be surprised if my review is taken poorly. That being said, here are the facts from having used this device carefully:Pros:1. It does chew up garlic2. It's very easy to clean3. It's ruggedly constructed out of heavy plastic4. Doesn't take up much space5. Works with other materials like ginger6. Will take 2 or 3 cloves of garlic at a timeCons:1. Garlic gets stuck between its teeth and even if you bonk it hard on a cutting board, a fair bit stays lodged inside.2. It takes a fair bit of force to turn. Might not work well if you have arthritis or weak hands.3. The two halves of the device are quite close together causing the fingers of one hand to get in the way of the other.4. The meshing action of the teeth seems to cause channels in the garlic and creates dead zones where large pieces of garlic can hide. This is not insurmountable if you open the two halves and stir the mush with your finger.5. Contrary to other reviews, it's not a practical tool for removing the skins on garlic. This is better done by hand.I like this thing better than my garlic press due to ease of cleaning, but it won't replace my electric chopper thingy for chopping more than a couple of cloves.

Sturdy little gadget. I like the grooves for the fingers and it's great isometric exercise. :) Minces the garlic nicely. I just do a smack on the cutting board to expel it. Cleans up with a quick rinse. Recomnemd!

Oh, garlic twist, where have you been all my life?This thing is so cool. You smash the garlic, you twist the garlic, you use the garlic. The end.No more fuss with the skin, kill your hands and give yourself a headache trying to crush the clove in a press, waste half because it's stuck in the press, the fight to clean it out of all the little holes, all the while swearing to never use garlic again.I gave up on using fresh garlic years ago because of all that and switched to jarred stuff. But now I'm back to using fresh garlic because it's finally easy to do. Wish I'd discovered this gadget years ago.The pros:- surprisingly strong- super easy to use (and no pain to my hands or head)- virtually no waste- easy to clean (but garlic smell might linger a bit)The cons:- using one very small clove or too many regular ones (more than 3?) doesn't work very well- all the garlic doesn't always go into those cute little triangles but the tip of a small spoon usually gets the rest easily enough

fonctionne mais pas tres bien, gadget inutile, l ail reste coincé et il faut forcer sur la rotation

Das ist nicht der original Twister mit USA-Patent! Das Teil ist deutlich kleiner, die innen liegenden "Zähne" sind stumpf, nicht abgeschrägt und daher schneiden sie nicht, sondern "zerquetschen" den Knoblauch. Genau diesen Effekt möchte ich NICHT in der Zubereitung, denn die ätherischen Oele werden so aus dem Knoblauch entfernt.

Superb bit of kit. I bought this along with a garlic slicer. I have to say this is a great bit of design, simple, solid construction and easy to clean. I use it every day and it takes seconds to use.The heavy duty Perspex material they have used is hard wearing so this should last many years.

Perfect garlic crusher! Very sturdy and easy to use!
