I grew up with a mom who couldn’t pass up a new kitchen gadget. Our house was filled with ice cream makers, pressure cookers, panini presses, pasta makers and more…all which ended up being merely counter decorations. So in my culinary quest, I vowed to not be lured into similar contraptions that ultimately serve little purpose other than cluttering counter space (having a 750 square foot apartment makes this pledge much easier to follow!) But while at a friend’s house for dinner recently, she whipped out her garlic press to use while cooking and I was sold. I use fresh garlic in about every dish I cook at home but had resided to the hand chopping method, which left irregular chunks and added extra prep work. Not anymore my friend, not anymore.
After a little searching and review reading, I decided on an OXO garlic press, which I found at Crate and Barrel. And while I hate to throw down $19 for a small gadget that I could probably find at IKEA for $5, I recommend forking over the extra money for a quality press. A quality garlic press is sturdy, easy to use and, most importantly, easy to clean. And while I can’t say for sure (as it is still a new kitchen addition), it looks like a gadget that will easily stand the test of time. Maybe I’ll even pass it down to my unborn children some day, lucky them!
My press features a black rubbery grip so it’s easy to hold even when my hands are covered with juice or oil. Plus, the garlic comparment holds smaller bulbs, making for a quick job…and it’s dishwasher safe!
To press garlic, you first have to remove the peel. Place your bulbs on a cutting board and, with the wide end of your knife, press your hand firmly on the knife while it’s on top of the bulb (one quick press does the trick). Then, place one large bulb (or a few smaller ones if they fit) in your press and squeeze down. One firm squeeze is all you need, then I take my knife and slice off all my minced garlic from the holes where they have just pushed through. Here comes the best part: open your press and flip the handles the other way. A small plastic plate with tiny nubs fit perfectly into your holes pushing out any garlic remnants. Now you’re ready for your next bulb!

I agree! There’s not many gadgets I fall for since I always find kitchen storage at a minimum. I have a Zyliss press which I’ve had for about 10 years without a sign of wear and tear – just a great durable product! It’s a great gadget to have although for certain recipes I still preferred sliced garlic to minced.
