Garlic Card
No it's not a credit card for gourmets and chefs. It's a well... just read the description below.

Sometimes it's the simplest ideas... Though, now that I've been introduced to the concept, I think I'd just MacGyver it, and use an old bank card or something...
Here's a simple solution to one of cooking's most vexing problems -- how simply to grate garlic into pureé without painstaking effort or agonizing clean-up. Faced with this same problem, noted Swedish chef Herman Rasmuson one day took out a credit card and began rubbing a clove of garlic against the embossed lettering. Voila! In almost no time, he had turned the clove into a uniform paste. Then, fortuitously, he decided to wash the card (not wanting to fragrance his wallet with a permanent garlic aroma), and was amazed how easily the card cleaned with just a warm-water rinsing. From there, the concept for GarlicCard was born.
Then he honed the GarlicCard into a compact yet sturdy utensil, subtly distinguished by the rows of finely embossed Gs and Cs that comprise its grating surface. Today, the GarlicCard is an award-winning design, including the Netherlands' Gift Fair 2005 prize for most innovative consumer product, and is used by professional chefs and home cooks worldwide.
