By using downward pressure and a ‘rocking’ motion, this stylish Rocker™ Garlic crusher breaks up garlic cloves quickly and easily, forcing the pieces up through the mesh of holes in its base. The crushed pieces are then held in the curved design, allowing them to be spooned or scraped conveniently into a pan or bowl. Additional cloves can also be crushed at this stage before emptying. Rocker™ is easy to clean under running water but is also dishwasher safe. Dishwasher safe.
