I used to think unitasking kitchen tools were a waste of money. Then my aunt proved me wrong with a $12 garlic rock.
My aunt brought this ceramic garlic rock (basically a lumpy slab) to our Thanksgiving dinner two years ago. I rolled my eyes when she pulled it out of her purse. Now I own three of them scattered around my kitchen. The thing is, my aunt is the type who buys those as-seen-on-TV pan scrapers. But she showed me how it crushes garlic without needing to peel it first. Just press and roll. No sticky fingers, no waste. I spent like 30 minutes trying to break mine in with a head of garlic at home and it worked way better than my usual knife smashing method. Has anyone else had a unitasker that just works too well to give up?

Bought one at a hardware store for 8 bucks. That thing lives in my knife drawer now. Crushes garlic cloves whole without peeling. My crew guys laughed at it until I made garlic butter in thirty seconds flat. Now two of them own garlic rocks too.

Yeah the whole crew switching over is the real proof. Throw it in the dishwasher after garlic butter, comes out clean every time. Just don't drop one on tile floor, learned that the hard way.
