Can we mince garlic with this?

Yes, it's really easy and fast to chop garlic, but it's hard to get all the garlic off from in between the blades, so a lot of the garlic gets lost :(

Sure. Put the garlic cloves on wooden cutting board and roll the mincer over it/them until size you desire. BTW, I use a baby bottle brush to clean between the blades to make sure I don't touch with my fingers. Very, very, sharp blades.

Prior to mincing garlic, I have always taken the side of my chef's knife and flattened the clove (s) so there was an even surface to run the Zyliss herb cutter over and the results should be fine. The use of some sea salt helps to keep traction on the garlic within a working area which allows proper mincing of it without slipping and sliding. A vegetable brush will help clear the blades if a sharp tap doesn't get it done. :-)

I'm sure you could. I've been using it to chop up cilantro and other herbs. The blades are sharp so be careful cleaning it.

I haven't tried it but I think it would work. The blades are very sharp so could dice garlic. I would cut clove in half or quarter if very large. Great tool.

No not really. I would say if I put garlic in a Tupperware it would leave way strong of an odor. You wouldn't be able to tell you crushed garlic in it unless you really tried smelling it.

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

I do breaded fish, garlic bread, chicken strips.. basically anything you would put in the oven, you can do on this. (really nice in the summer when you don't want to heat up the house with the oven!)

I would think so. Haven't tried mincing except nuts and you would keep pulsing it until you get the texture you want. Love my bosch Universal Plus and the attachments. Just made an Ultimate chocolate chip cookie, oreo, brownie bars. Yum. What breeze with this machine.

Yes, the garlic can be hot and messy. If you put the head in the squeezer,the garlic comes out the consistency of butter and can be spread easily.

Yes if you do not put more than 1 large clove in at a time otherwise the handles are pretty far apart. I love this press because it is very well made and very easy to clean unlike others I have had. It also seems to waste less garlic.

Yes you can. :) It adds a little more flavor to your food. We cook with it the majority of the time and have for the past 10 years. Enjoy!

I fit 4 medium onions in before the garlic section started hitting them. You may be able to fit up to 6 if the onions are quite small.

I wouldn't recommend it. Any liquid that's thicker than syrup, for example, would probably pour very slowly or not at all, especially with small bits of garlic.

Hey patti, i got mine a few months ago. I found what works best is to roast whole bulbs for an hour at 350. I can fit 3 small bulbs or 2 large ones. Prior to roasting i toss the bulbs in olive oil, salt, and pepper to fully coat the garlic which helps to prevent burning. Also, though you do want to cut the top of the bulb off to expose the garlic, try not to remove any of the garlics outer layers in the process or your garlic is likely to burn.

Not at all. You can try the garlic or jalpeno or lemon infused. The garlic is my favorite.

It is small but I think you would need the bigger one for onions. It would do half a handful of nuts. I only use it for garlic and herbs.

I have only used peeled cloves. The yield of minced garlic with this twist is far greater than any press I have ever used.

What a coincidence - I just used this again last night. I overstuffed it a bit, which I don't recommend since you're not grinding it as well to start off with. Overstuffing it also results in some of the garlic juice leaking up the sides. However, I still ended up with very nicely minced fresh garlic. I've used it a number of times and still find it just as effective as the first time. I think it's a novel idea and good product, and it's held up well.

The quality is very good. . .this is the best garlic/herb mincer I ever owned!

Yes definitely. That's the main thing I use my larger pampered chef one for...onions and garlic. My buddy liked it so much I bought him the mini one. For onions, you'd probably have to quarter them first.
