Product Information

This version of the classic Microplane zester/grater has a premium soft-touch handle and non-scratch end tabs.

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? When my kids were little, they would have liked using it to help me with dinner (provided they weren’t the ones clearing the minced garlic from the blade chamber).If the clove is large, chop it into smaller pieces, or use the Extra Large Garlic Zoom for chopping more cloves at a time.

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. The more you zoom, the finer your garlic will be chopped – without the risk of getting garlic odours on your skin, or your chopping board. 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. Plastic, round, and sporting little wheels, it had none of the stainless-steel seriousness of the other presses. Of course, some gadgets really do take the drudgery out of prep work, making things faster and easier.

HIGH QUALITY: The improved Garlic Zoom features more gearing for easier rolling, bigger finger holds for safer blade removal, and an overall sturdy design to last a lifetime. 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. The Garlic Zoom is top rack dishwasher safe for easy care and its compact design takes up little space in your kitchen. Set up a tropical dish such as a salad, a marinade for chicken or venison, a fruit or cheesecake, all in the blink of an eye. And because they were actually minced, not crushed, the flavor wasn’t too hot or intense (if you’ve ever rubbed too much garlic on your bruschetta or made aioli in a food processor with more than one clove, you know what I mean).
