Anyone tried a "Garlic-Pro" chopper?

[AMumInScotland]

I've got the usual sort of garlic crusher, but its a pain to get clean. I wondered if anyone has tried one of these Garlic Pro things? It looks less fiddly to clean, but I've been caught out before with gadgets that look like an improvement, and then get binned in no time!

TIA

No idea if it works,sorry.
I have given up with garlic and only buy the frozen cubes now.

I haven't, but I hear you on the fiddly garlic crushers! I actually grate mine with my microplane and it's perfect.

Thanks, I do love garlic, but it's such a pain

Do you peel it, before you put it in the regular crusher? Because you don't need to and it actually makes the cleaning much, much easier. In fact, taking the skin out of the crusher, pulls most of the residue out and there is hardly any cleaning needed!

Just thought I'd mention it!

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong.... I do always peel it first. I'll try it your way next time and see how it goes

I have one and it's good, but just as hard to clean as a normal crusher!

I did a cookery course the other week and they showed us the easiest way of making garlic that is so crushed it's a paste: peel it and cut it a bit, then sprinkle a pinch of salt over it and drag your knife blade over it at an angle of about 30-45 degrees. It takes less than a minute to create your garlic paste.

Thanks - that was what I feared - but thanks I'll try your method too, and see how I get on!
