This garlic press is easy to use, perfect for anyone with diminishing hand strentgh. Made from high quality stainless steel it won't rust or tarnish. Dishwasher safe and it has a hanging loop for easy storage.
For infrequent use this is fine, but if you love fresh garlic, like most then also look ath the Zwilling Garlic press, esier tio clean and better leverage.
This garlic press works really well, I do use it with peeled garlic. The basket comes out for cleaning. Nicely made and comfortable handles to squeeze.
There are some that feel using a garlic press bruises the garlic, I am not one of those people. I love the convience and the fact that it gets pressed through the holes has nothing to do with the flavor! Flavor is what I am concerned with, as most cooks are, and this is one of the best presses I have used, and cleans up easily.
There's a difference between pressing garlic and crushing garlic and this tool helps to create a perfect pressed garlic result. Crushed garlic released mild flavor over a long period of time while pressing or mincing will provide a more intense and immediate flavor. A good garlic press is sharp enough to ensure the flesh presses through the holes rather than being crushed inside. This is dishwasher safe and does a great job.
Garlic adds so much flavor to dishes but can be a pain to mince. This press allows me to quickly mince as much as I need without having to dirty up a knife or cutting board. Cleans up easily. Solid construction.
