The Karaca x Refika garlic crusher processes fresh garlic cloves into paste or fine mince for sauce preparation, marinades, and seasoning. Wooden handle provides grip during repeated pressing in prep workflows. Compact 18 cm length allows storage in drawer systems or hanging racks.
Commercial Application
