Chef'n Garlic Zoom

You put smallish pieces of garlic clove in the top and wheel the device to and fro. A wheel drives rotating cutting blades. Pretty quickly the garlic is either cut or turned into a paste, depending on its moistness. You snap open the device, push out the debris and reload for another batch.Another review mentioned clean-up. This is actually not bad, the device comes apart easily and the bits can be put in the dishwasher or soaked for a bit of a brushing out.It takes quite a bit of downward pressure to get the wheel to grip and thus drive the cutting blades. It would be hard to use on some smooth cooktops, I use a wooden cutting board.

I cannot say enough about this product. I love garlic so much and because of the time it takes to prepare I didn't eat it as much as I would have liked. Also I do not like the pre cut garlic that come in the jars, yuck! This lovely product chops and dices your garlic from chunky to fine depending on how long you "zip" or roll it. I like my garlic as fine as possible. I accomplish this by tapping the Zoom on its wheels after a couple of passes this brings the garlic pieces back down to the chopping blades where they are then re chopped thus making it finer. As you roll your Zoom the garlic has a tendency to stick to the top so by tapping the Zoom it brings it down.Cleaning is a snap, rinse, shake and put away. I wish there was something like this for ginger.

It works well, but it is too small for the quantity of garlic cloves that I typically use. It processes about one large garlic clove at a time. I ordered the X-tra large version to replace this one. The XL model looks like it can process 2-3 cloves at a time, which will save me time.

Very easy to use - I like the idea, but I do find that some of the garlic gets caught in the corners and around the wheels, so you lose some that you mince.

I ordered the Chef'n Garlic Zoom because I thought it would be easier on my hands. I have rheumotoid arthritis and my hands are affected by it. I look for things that are easier on my hands. This product proved that for me!!Thank you for your time!!Sue Wisse

Very cute, but sort of a pain to use and clean out.

This devise does not deliver anything that I can't do better with a santuko knife. I regret having bought it

This is my new favorite thing. I recently started eating more garlic because of all the great health benefits and this little zoom has helped me tremendously. My hands don't smell like gralic and I think that it works just like the description states.

Good idea but boy is it difficult to clean, it just sits in the drawer now as it's much easier to use a knife. Even removing the cut up garlic pieces is tricky.

Despite mixed reviews I have found this little gadget a gem. No problem chopping garlic now me my fingers are happy too!

smashing,lol
