NexTrend Garlic Twister 4th Gen, purple manual garlic mincer for ginger, herbs and nuts

Easy to use, clean and very effective (but super expensive). wish it was bigger to put more garlic inside... but more garlic means more torque. Only important note is that you need strong arms and wrist to effectively use this which was a huge complaint with all the people that tried it in my home. Effective but you need to be strong. Strong? good. Weak? look for something electric.

My husband loved his garlic zoom. Unfortunately all the recent ones I have purchased were damaged and had to be return. The plastic doesn’t seem as thick or durable as the ones I bought over past 7-10 years. Over the years I have purchased many as gifts and stocking stuffers. Tired of having to replace the newer ones about once a year or so I decided to give this one a try. Yesterday this Garlic Twister stormed in and my husband told me today that he really likes everything about this little helper. His words were he really likes no more waste as he can easily scoop out all the garlic, whereas it was impossible to get all the garlic out of the garlic zoom. No sharp blades and easy to clean. Based on my chef’s comments, I highly recommend and I’m sure I will be purchasing again for others.

I can’t believe I didn’t know about this gadget sooner. So easy to use and to clean. Saves so much time.

This definitely works for crushing up garlic with the built in spines and is easy to clean and fits in our drawer nicely. We do run into the problem that it fills up very quickly and you have to empty it out to crush more garlic, this would normally be fine, but then the garlic juices start to build up and pour out along the seams leaving a sticky and stinky garlicky mess. We eat a lot of garlic so this might be less of a problem for some purchasers, but I wish it was bigger or had some sort of seal.

I works great. I just wish it was easier to get all the garlic out. I am happy with it and how well it minces garlic.

I just throw garlic cloves in then twist. Depending on how fine you want chopped is easily controlled by how much you twist the top. At first, I found it difficult to twist but the more I used I got the rhythm down so now I love it! Easy clean up.

I really wanted to love this but there’s a learning curve to using it. Haven’t quite mastered it yet. The end result is great once you get there. I wish they had included I brush of sorts to get the garlic out once crushed. I ended up using a silicone pastry brush to get all the garlic out. I’m keeping it because it does do a good job crushing the garlic.

Edit: changed review to 5 stars. I turn to this gadget frequently. I find it useful when you’re using for recipes that need 2-4 at a time. Best part is it’s easy clean up. Rinse under running water for a few seconds, a little twist or two with water and done. For mass garlic chopping, use something else. ———— I love garlic. So much so that I may or may not double up the garlic on every recipe. Since I use a lot of it, Im always looking for ways that reduce the time I spend on prepping them. Tried this gadget out a few months and these are the pros and cons for me, who uses a lot of garlic. Pros: It purées garlic in about 10 twists clockwise and counterclockwise. It’s quick and easy to clean. After I transfer the garlic out of the gadget I just run some water on it to rinse and lay it out on drying rack. Super easy clean up. I love this about it. It’s great for people who don’t like garlic chunks. Cons: garlic/ginger loses a lot of that garlic/ ginger liquid and seeps out the crack. Ginger lost a lot more liquid. It was harder to twist because of its hard stringy texture. When I tried to grind it down, I could visually see it squeezed out a lot of its liquids. I don’t like this idea because to me that means it’s losing its flavor. Only good for recipes with puréed garlic and since I pan fry a lot, I skip the gadget and use the classic method-Cutting board and knife. I can only pulverize 1-2 Garlic at a time. It’s best to have 3-4 pulverized to easily and cleanly scrape out the garlic. 1-2 garlic isn’t enough to come together in a nice clean scoop, some bits will be scattered in the gadget. Lastly, since I use a lot of garlic, it’s be more tedious for me to purée 3-4 at a time then scrape out and do the process again. Plus The cringe every time I lose the juices/flavor in the gadget. This is a great tool for someone who does not need a whole lot of garlic and doesn’t mind losing the juices. But if the recipe works better with chopped garlic or you just need a lot of garlic, consider a different gadget.

It works great - I have a bit of arthritis in my hands and this is so much easier than the garlic press

L’objet est jolie et pratique mais demande un coup main énergique au début à condition de couper la gousse ou les morceaux de gingembre en plus petit morceau. Ce n’est pas réellement fait pour les petits vieux 😀

Es un producto muy padre

Very good for quick smooshing of garlic. I even use it with garlic cloves that I've frozen and it works very efficiently. Recommended for anyone who often uses fresh garlic in recipes.
