The garlic keeper is approximately 5 1/2" in height. Instructions for using the grater plate for Garlic: Moisten the plate with either water or olive oil. Hold the clove of garlic between your thumb and index finger with the root pointing up and the tip pointing down. Grate with just a little bit pressure on the garlic over the bottom of the dish. It makes no difference if you use circular movements or back and forth. Once a paste forms you can add to recipes or simply add olive oil for dipping. It works equally well with fresh Ginger!
