A small stainless steel rolling pin-like device with grooves to roll garlic into a paste
Why do we like it?
Rolling things is fun, and you can play alchemist afterwards - when you use it to wash your hands with it as if it's a bar of soap (even though it's solid steel) it somehow takes the garlic smell off of your hands like magic.
It's also good for rolling other things into a paste, like in this recipe for vinaigrette:
Roll 2 cloves of garlic, 3 tsp capers, 4 anchovy fillets together with the crusher.
(and if you wash your hands after messing around with this concoction with nothing but the crusher you'll see what i mean about the magic!)
Transfer to a jar with screw top lid, and add juice of 2 lemons, 6-7 tbsps of olive oil.
Shake well and then dress steamed broccoli. Yum.
