What happens here

The demonstrator advises wetting the ceramic grater dish before use. He takes a peeled clove of garlic and rubs it firmly across the textured grating surface. He instructs to rub in one consistent direction to keep the garlic clove in one piece, providing something to hold onto. The grating action quickly breaks down the garlic into a fine paste. After grating, he uses a small brush/scraper tool to easily collect all the garlic paste from the grater onto a flat surface.

Goal: Learn to grate a peeled garlic clove efficiently using the ceramic dish to create a fine, smooth garlic paste.

What they say

Hide

Wet the dish before you do any vegetable. Take your clove of garlic, go in any direction. And once you pick a direction, stick to the same one. That's going to keep the clove in one piece so you have something to hold on to before you pick it out. You've already done the job. Now, some people lick it out. They like it so much. I prefer to dip it out with olive oil and balsamic. And when it comes to cooking, that brush got us every last piece out. You'll never do that with a press. Everything gets stuck. Picking and poking for days trying to get it clean. That there is about as fine as you'll ever get it. Garlic butter without the butter. Ginger, real hard to chop, slice, dice.
