Know before you buy
The rocking motion uses your body weight and downward pressure to crush garlic, which is often less strenuous than squeezing a traditional lever press. It is particularly effective for those who find standard presses difficult to operate.
While some residue may remain, the design allows you to easily scrape the minced garlic off the surface and directly into your pan. Because the tool is open-faced, it is much easier to clean than a closed-chamber press.
Yes, the Garlic Rocker is completely dishwasher safe. Its simple, one-piece stainless steel construction ensures there are no hidden crevices where food can get trapped.
Yes, you should peel your garlic cloves before use. The rocker does not include a built-in peeler, so you will need to remove the skins manually before crushing.
The product is made of stainless steel, but it is not specifically marketed as rust-resistant. To maintain its condition, we recommend drying it thoroughly after washing rather than letting it air dry in the dishwasher.
