One product that we absolutely can’t get enough of is the Gracula Garlic Crusher. It was designed to make meal prep super quick and easy, by pressing, crushing and mincing garlic seconds. All you have to do is insert the garlic cloves, press, twist, and it’s done. In addition to garlic, the Gracula can also chop and crush ginger, chili, herbs, and nuts. Plus, it was designed to be much more ergonomic than the average garlic crusher.
With how adorable the Gracula is, it’s no surprise it has over 3,000 perfect five-star reviews. As one wrote, ” I love this little guy. I found him on a Buzzfeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in seconds…Clean up is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher! Adorable, quirky and super functional!”

Another reviewer highly recommended it as a gift. They wrote, “I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook. She uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively, but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer because Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I’m pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I’ve gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I’m fairly certain it’s what took me from ‘good friend’ to ‘best friend,’ but it be that way sometimes.”
If your kids love getting involved in preparing family meals, this is a great tool to get. As one shopper who “vanted” to leave a review wrote, “My kids love this product. They were so excited to give it to their mom for her birthday. It’s nice to have items that they can help with in the kitchen. It is both cute and equally functional.”
