Gadgets: Garlic Zoom

I was out running errands today and I stopped at Bed Bath & Beyond to check out some lights for the outdoor set. While I didn't like the lights I found a little gadget that intrigued me. The Chef'n Garlic Zoom. I love gadgets, a lot! I couldn't resist myself and I just had to buy it. What could be more fun, right? Just pop it in and zoom, zoom, zoom! fresh minced garlic.

It was interesting but I don't know how much energy or time the garlic zoom really saved me. It isn't quite so easy as pop in the garlic, zoom it along the counter, and Voila! minced garlic. It takes some time, and pressure, to get the garlic zoom going and you can really only do one clove at a time. I guess if you really hate having your hands smell like garlic or if you just despise mincing garlic on your own then it could be a worthwhile investment. It might also make a fun gift for someone who cooks some but isn't a heavy duty cook. On the whole I don't think it was really worth the almost $10 I spent on it unless you have trouble mincing garlic because it does do a surprisingly good job of it.
