Makes a mess, wastes half the garlic. Just use a knife.***

I watched a video last night on how to cut food with a knife

It wasn;t near as simple or as stupid as it sounds.
We have a kitchen full of knives..only really need like 2 or 3.

Somebody got us these a lot of Christmases ago.

They're for people who don't know how to use knives. My wife, for example. But she still never used these, she uses regular kitchen shears to snip, say, green onions. Imagine in your head how long it would take to snip a single green onion with scissors into 30 pieces.

This one comes close....
And, you know, Joe DiMaggio does-a this-a commercial — he’s-a the spokesman for something called-a Mr. Coffee, and-a I think that’s-a why-a they-a wanted me, too. This-a product, it’s-a called Mr. Tea. Mr. Tea. And-a, you know, I don’t even drink-a tea. And I said to them, “I don’t-a drink-a tea,” but they said, “That’s okay. We want you anyway.” And-a, I just-a love-a this-a product. What I like about it is, it’s-a SO simple. All you have to do is get-a like a tea cup, or a coffee cup, whatever you call it, and you put a tea bag right inside of it here, and then you put the cup — it fits right in here — and then, you get hot, boiling water… and-a just-a pour the hot water into the Mr. Tea machine… [ he demosntrates these actions ] And, as-a you can see, the water comes-a down through here, down there, right into the cup! And then, all you have to do is wait two, three minutes… and then it’s done!

or Williams Sonoma or whatever as a wedding gift. First time I used it, the metal actually broke against the resistance of a single garlic clove. I was like, "Well that was fun," and threw it in the garbage.

was picking the strands of garlic fiber out of it with a brush and water jet so I could run it through the dishwasher, I was wondering which drawer to best hide it in so it never sees the light of day.

Never have to mess with peeling and smashing/pressing/cursing garlic.
