Nope, it's easy.

It was a gift from the in-laws for my birthday. I think they paid

$14.95 though (I gave them the catalog page because they like a list).

I know you can get it at both solutionscatalog.com and

bakerscatalog.com. I looked at W-S website, and it was listed at $15,

so unlike the typical W-S wares, it wasn't priced excessively high. My

sister got hers in a grocery store in upstate NY for $14 though

(Wegman's, for those up there that are interested).

Most definitely! (And don't laugh, it's been done! ;-)

Hiya Amy. I checked out the site and the video showing how it works.

Looks interesting. A few questions if you don't mind please.

 

First off is it pretty easy to twist when the garlic is in there? I

mean it doesn't feel like it's going to break or anything or even open

up on ya?

 

Secondly, their msrp is $14. There zip code thingy must be out of

whack because the nearest location that I can get this thing is in New

Jersey. That wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't in Texas. Anywho,

they apparently sell them at Williams-Sonoma. We've got those here.

So given that the suggested retail price is $14, that means that

Williams-Sonoma will sell it for $54. Were you able to get yours for

$14?

 

Thirdly, would it be possible to do The Twist while twisting this thing.

 

Thanks,

Shawn
