This press is well designed. The solid stainless steel construction makes for easy pressing. It does not rust. The handles are comfortable to hold in my hand. The stainless steel also does not hold on to the smell of garlic.
Fantastic quality. My only caveat with this item is a matter of design - when pressing the garlic it goes up the front so we need to pull out the pressed garlic with our fingers each time.
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.
