Manual Garlic Chopper, Stainless Steel, Press-Down Plunger

This manual garlic chopper has a stainless steel body, measures 16 x 6 cm (about 6.3 x 2.4 inches), and chops when you press the top: the plunger drives the blades down through the garlic in the clear cup at the base, and the top springs back up on its own. The more times you press, the finer the chop. No power needed.

Best for

Care

Take it apart and rinse the blades and the cup under running water right after use, before garlic dries onto them. Dry the parts before you put it back together.
