FAQs
Is this garlic crusher dishwasher safe?
While the materials are durable, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to best maintain the integrity and sharpness of the stainless steel blades and ensure thorough cleaning.
What makes this garlic crusher 'BPA-Free' and 'FDA Approved'?
BPA-Free means the plastic components do not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical often found in plastics that some consumers wish to avoid. FDA Approved indicates that the materials used meet the safety standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for food contact.
Can I crush unpeeled garlic cloves?
It is recommended to peel garlic cloves before using the crusher for optimal performance and easier cleaning. Peels can obstruct the blades and affect the crushing efficiency.
How durable are the stainless steel blades?
The stainless steel blades are designed for repeated use in crushing garlic. For longevity, it is important to clean and dry the blades properly after each use.
What size garlic cloves can this handle?
The Joie Garlic Crusher is designed for standard-sized garlic cloves. If you have exceptionally large cloves, you may need to cut them into smaller pieces before crushing.
How do I clean the blade area effectively?
After rinsing, use a small brush (like a vegetable brush or an old toothbrush) or a toothpick to carefully remove any garlic residue trapped around the blades.
Troubleshooting
Garlic is not being crushed effectively.
Ensure the garlic clove is peeled and placed correctly within the chamber. Check that the blades are clean and free from debris. For very large cloves, you may need to cut them in half first.
Difficult to operate.
Apply steady, even pressure. Ensure the garlic clove is not too large for the chamber. Clean the mechanism if it feels obstructed.
Residue stuck in the blades.
Rinse immediately after use. Use a small brush or toothpick to carefully dislodge any stubborn garlic residue from the blades and crevices.
