Who says the kitchen is just not too geeky?  Ah, they haven’t seen (drumroll please)…

THE CHEF’N GARLIC ZOOM!!!

 This contraption, I found, from boingboing and ohgizmo. Now wouldn’t your man want to spend time in the kitchen with you, eh?  Now with something to keep him busy as a boy! :)

This kitchen gadget will make every geek wish they’d spend more time with you than with their trusty laptops.  Sold at Amazon for $9.99 plus shipping.

Check out this user review:

Could there be a more whimsical way to chop or mince garlic? Simply insert a few peeled cloves in the top “trapdoor” of this little machine, close it, and roll the Zoom back and forth (with a little pressure) on the countertop. You can watch the stainless-steel blades inside doing their work through the clear body. When the chopping looks done to your specifications, open up the whole top half of the Zoom, remove the blade unit, and scrape out the garlic. Easy as pie, with no smelly hands to scrub. Another creative kitchen toy from the folks at Chef’n, the Garlic Zoom makes a great gift, gets kids involved in helping out, and is dishwasher-safe on the top rack. –Ann Bieri

Ouch!  I’m not to keen at letting the kids touch anything with surgical blades though.  Maybe some improvement will keep the possible lawsuits away!
