Garlic is in season from now to summer. It stimulates your appetite and gives you stamina, so it appears frequently at my home.

However, if you cut or grate the garlic, you will get a scent on your hands and it will be difficult to remove it. Doesn't it bother you if you drift around while you're making up?


This time, we will introduce two types of kitchen items from Kokubo Kogyosho that will solve such problems. If you bring men to barbecue or camping, there is no doubt that girls will be happy !?

Garlic press that scoops up beautifully

First of all, "garlic press" that squeezes and crushes garlic. You can often see such equipment in ramen shops these days.


To use it, just put the garlic between the levers and hold the lever tightly. Garlic pops out from between the fine eyes.



A wiper is attached to the tip so that the extruded garlic can be scooped up cleanly. In the case of the author, both hands were required to squeeze to the end, so it may be a little painful for those with weak power.

Bass and pleasure garlic cutter

Next is the "garlic cutter" that can cut various garlic. Here, put the peeled garlic on the cutter blade and press the lid to close it. It's not as strong as a garlic press, but it's quite powerful, so place it in a stable place and push it from directly above.




The cut garlic collects in the tray with a "buzzing" sound. All you have to do is pull out the tray and use it for cooking.


There is a slicing cutter on the bottom of the main body, which can be replaced. Both are coarser (thicker) than kitchen knives, but I wonder if there is any problem with daily cooking.




The blade is safe to touch, and the fact that all parts can be washed is also a high point. By the way, you can grate it at the bottom of the case, so this one is quite versatile.

Recipe to enjoy garlic simply

After preparing the garlic, enjoy the garlic dish. The recipe is also posted on the official website of Kokubo Kogyosho, and among them, "Tomato Cheese Ajillo " is easy but excellent!


This is garlic, chopped bacon, fried macaroni with olive oil, and seasoned with mayonnaise and fresh cream. It's simple but addictive.


The reference price for the garlic press is 2,400 yen, and the garlic cutter is 1,800 yen (both tax excluded). If you use garlic a lot, or if you really don't want to use your hands, it's a good idea to have it!
