2 A clove shave
No kitchen drawer is complete without a garlic crusher – and Dexam’s Garlic Machine is one of the best. This 30th-anniversary version allows you to crush multiple cloves at the same time and features a blade at its base that lets you slice off exactly as much crushed garlic as you need. You can also store unused garlic in the machine in the fridge for up to a week.
