Drop in the peeled cloves, close the lid and shake. The garlic breaks down into an even paste inside a sealed box - no pressing, no twisting and no blade to rinse around or cut a fingertip on.
Because the box stays closed, the smell stays in it. Hands come away clean, the countertop stays clear, and the residue is contained where it can be rinsed off in one go. It works the same way with ginger, chilli and other soft aromatics, and it is small enough at 3.15 x 1.57 in to live in a drawer.
