Why shouldn’t I eat the root end of the garlic clove?2017-12-14T23:44:39+11:00

This is the most acidic part of the clove, and quite bitter. If ingested it can cause acid reflux and heartburn.

Why do chefs never press their garlic?2017-12-14T23:44:13+11:00

Slicing, mincing, smearing, crushing, and even pressing give different results with garlic.

Chefs find a garlic press more trouble than it’s worth – a nightmare to clean, as well as pretty wasteful. They don’t see the point of a gadget that essentially does just one thing as well as loosing all the juice. A garlic press produces a bitter, harsher tasting result with an almost metallic aftertaste.

Why is my garlic turning blue/green?2017-12-14T23:43:10+11:00

A chemical reaction has occurred where the chemicals in the garlic are released thru pureeing. These chemicals are locked away from each other when the garlic is whole. It may also turn blue when it comes into contact with minerals and certain metals found in your water supply or kitchen tools, including copper, aluminium, iron, and tin.

Don’t worry, it may look strange but it’s perfectly safe to eat!!

I purchased 2 of the same plate, but they are different, why?2017-12-14T23:34:02+11:00

Will my plate go blunt?2017-12-14T23:33:15+11:00

The little Spanish Grater Plate is triple glazed and made to hold up to the hardest of spices, like nutmeg. As long as you don’t drop it, your Little Spanish Grater Plate will last you a long time.

Why do I have to add water or oil to my plate for some ingredients?2017-12-14T23:32:23+11:00

Some ingredients are loaded full of natural sugars, oils or acids that can become sticky and dry to the plate instantly. A drop of oil or water will prevent this from happening, and make it easy for you to remove the puree or zest from the plate into your dish.
