ABSTRACT:
A garlic grater having a grating drum with a cylindrical grate driven into rotation by a motor which is preferably operated with batteries. The grating drum is freely mounted within an inner liner in such a manner as to define an annular, garlic skin-receiving chamber between the grate and the inner surface of the inner liner. A lateral opening is provided in the inner liner, through which a clove of garlic can be inserted and press against the grate. The grater also has a base for collecting the garlic juice and gathering up the garlic gratings falling from the grating drum when a clove of garlic is pressed against the drum while the same is rotating. This base has a cup-shaped member detachably mounted under the drum, a central support projecting upwardly from the cup-shaped member so as to extend axially within the cylindrical grate, and a wiper radially projecting from the central support so as to contact and wipe the cylindrical grate surface internally while the grating drum is rotating. Pressing of a clove of garlic onto the grate preferably with a handle causes the skin of the clove to be torn out by the teeth of the grate and to accumulate within the annular chamber surrounding the grate. Then, the peeled clove is grated while the juice and gratings formed inside the grate is collected with the wiper. Thus, no direct contact with the peeled clove is required to process this clove.
