How to Use
After separating the garlic clove from the bulb, place it under the garlic press and place a little pressure on the clove. This will loosen the peel enough that you can pop the clove out.
Remove the peel into your compost, place the clove back under the crusher, and place even weight on each handle, crushing the garlic.
To wash, rinse under water or place it in your dishwasher.

Why use a Garlic Crusher?
A garlic crusher helps extract the maximum flavour from garlic cloves by breaking them down into fine pieces, releasing essential oils and enhancing the taste of your recipes.
It's also a handy tool for those who enjoy cooking with garlic but prefer to avoid the mess and effort of traditional chopping methods.
Do I have to peel the garlic first?
No, but you can if you want to.
To skip peeling: place your clove on the chopping board and press down with the crusher just enough that the skin splits. You'll be able to remove the clove easily before crushing it fully.
