This fun little gadget is something my husband picked up for me.. or perhaps more for my son. My son loves to help me in the kitchen with cooking but there are only so many things he can do. Typically he is set on adding stuff to bowls/stirring/laying things onto cookie sheets... anything he can do without hurting his little fingers.
My husband came across this little kitchen tool that is for chopping up garlic. Why it is so handy for kids is it is a set of blades inside the plastic body, which is set on 2 wheels. It literally can be "driven" around the counter tops, as he would do with his hot wheels toy cars. It is fun for him to drive around and while it is driving, the wheels are turning the blades on the inside and dicing up the garlic. Come on... too cute! There is no way for them to harm themselves as the blades aren't exposed on the outside at all. In order to get to them you have to pop open the door, which is quite secure. I even have to work at it a bit to open it.
I think something like this is perfect for the kiddos that want to help out. It may seem impractical for the adults as we can just use the garlic press, dice the garlic with a knife, use a food processor.... but I feel this really was more targeted at kids anyway.
If you have children/young siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, etc... would you use something like this? Do they like to help out in the kitchen?

Thats pretty cool. I have never seen something like that. I would actually use it since I hate cutting garlic.
hello
salvador santillan: For an adult, I agree. A knife is fine. But for a little kid who shouldn't be playing with knives.. very handy!
that is cute, definitely comes handy in the kitchen and i dont mean your son lol
Looks fun. But I personally would find it unnecessary.
shannon s: I'll have to see if my husband remembers the name of the store. It was a little store in the mall that sells all kinds of kitchen supplies. I know you can order them online, too, though. They're only about $12-$15
crispy ☮: yeah, I would say if you needed a tiny amount of onion chopped you could use it too but it is mainly intended for mincing up the garlic. Nope, no infomercial! He picked it up in a home goods/kitchen aid kind of store in the mall.
i love this my nephew loves to help in the kitchen where did he find it ?
Did he see/order it from one of those informercials? This is super awesome, because it really is safe and fun for youngsters to use and get creative. I want to test it out myself just because haha. Is this ideally for garlic? I've tried opening certain things before where it was a challenge and my fingers would hurt from force, so it's good and relieving to hear that this is secure.
