FAQs

How is this different from a traditional garlic press?

Unlike a traditional press that squeezes garlic through small holes, the rocker uses a rocking motion to crush and mince, which can be more ergonomic and less messy.

Can I use it for shallots or onions?

It is primarily designed for garlic and ginger. While it might crush very small pieces of soft aromatics, it is not ideal for larger shallots or onions.

Does the stainless steel retain garlic odor?

High-quality stainless steel is non-porous and resistant to odors. Proper cleaning after each use should prevent any lingering smells.

What are the dimensions of the Garlic Rocker?

The dimensions are approximately H: 7 cm x W: 5.7 cm x D: 12 cm.

Is it safe to use with non-stick cookware or cutting boards?

Yes, the stainless steel is generally safe for use with most kitchen surfaces, including non-stick materials. However, always use appropriate cutting boards to protect your countertops and tools.

What is the weight of the product?

The product weighs approximately 0.3 kg.

Can I use it to crush herbs?

It is best suited for firm roots like ginger and garlic. For delicate herbs, a knife or herb scissors would provide better results.

Troubleshooting

Garlic pieces are not fully crushed.

Ensure you are applying enough downward pressure and rocking the tool back and forth vigorously. For larger or firmer cloves, you may need to rock more times or cut the clove in half first.

Product feels sticky or has residue after washing.

Run the Garlic Rocker under hot water while cleaning or place it on the top rack of the dishwasher. Ensure all food particles are removed before drying.

Difficulty rocking on certain surfaces.

Use a stable, flat cutting board. A slightly textured surface might offer better grip than a very smooth one. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.

Cons
