It two hands to squeeze this garlic press. If you don't take off the garlic skin it clogs up and the garlic comes out from around the top. You have to dig the squeezable garlic remains out with your fingers, the little brush won't even take a little out of the press down remains. Big and cumbersome. Love the stainless steel but that is it. Hope to have time to send it back but busy time of year to make a return. Very-very disappointed, I had been looking for a stainless steel garlic press for quite some time. I have had the garlic roll thingy before, they work for awhile then lose the form to roll easily. Difficult to open to get the garlic cloves in, to many moving parts for simple garlic press. It needs lots of tweaking! Heavy duty and heavy to use.

This works great and is a breeze to clean! It also is very durable so I feel that it will last a lifetime to be honest. The Silicone thing that comes with it is also very kool!! At first I didn't think it worked very well but once you get the hang of it and I realized you have to put a bit of pressure into it when your rolling the cloves of garlic inside it, now it works great and takes the skin off of the cloves in no time! I didn't use garlic very much in the past because it was such a hassle to get the skins off and mince them up, now i can use it in all kinds of dishes because this literally takes one minute to peel and press the garlic! I LOVE THIS!!

Overall, this is a pretty good garlic press that could be fantastic with some design changes, if possible.

Using the accompanying accessory that removes skins is optional but I find it easy to use so I prefer to as it gunks up the press less, plus it's oddly satisfying to watch the clove come out bare with a quick roll. The press itself is able to hold 2-3 medium cloves at once and it doesn't take squeezing too hard to use though I usually two-hand it anyhow for dramatic effect. It does require running it along the rim of your bowl or using a knife as plenty of garlic will be on the press, but I've found this to be the case with other garlic presses I've used.

The most annoying part comes with cleaning. I recommend washing immediately after use as with even ten minutes of sitting the garlic will become harder and stickier. Even with washing right away, fibers become trapped in the thin openings of basket sides. If this could be a solid piece, it would make the press more pleasant to use.

I have attempted using this with ginger but found I just ended up with juice and a crushed pulp that didn't get pressed through. But hey, it's a garlic press, and it definitely does a great job performing its main function. It seems like it will hold up for quite a while!

How did I miss writing a review on this?! So you may be think spend $20ish bucks for a garlic press. You have lost your mind. Yes this is what my mother and doh said. You could spend as little as $7, which I don't recommend. Or as much as $44+ and as you will guess I wouldn't recommend that one either.

So what can be said about a garlic press? If it works it works right? Well this does work. I have had it for over a year with no problems. No sticking of the handles, no rust, easy to clean. I use it daily if not multiple times a day as I cook meals for two other households as well so honestly at times it gets used 15x a day when cooking up monthly meals.

Will anyone notice it no? Honestly you will use it and never give it another thought until your at someone's house and use their crappy one and think with your inside voice what a piece of crap your friend has and then hey this would be a good gift for Christmas for them (only if their serious about food)! Or you may have to fend off said friend when they use yours. Will you wax poetically about it? Probably not but if you do please send it to me! I can always use a good laugh.

I actually paid more this a year ago and would definitely buy it again! It is worth the money!

Tip: Easier to clean when the garlic poop (skin) is fresh. If you forget submerge for 30 seconds and it comes off easy.

Great garlic press that takes little effort to get maximum results. Does a great job on garlic, but it is awesome at juicing Key Limes. When making Key Lime pies it literally takes 1/3 the number of limes to get the juice needed when compared to a conventional manual juicer. Easy cleanup just adds to the bargain that is the https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHLNRVE/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0
