Kuhn RikonEpicurean Garlic Press, Stainless Steel, 6.5 x 1 x 1.5 inches, Silver

Worth the price. Strong design dispatches several garlic cloves at one time.

Great for getting juice from plants to use in a refractometer or microscope! I tied a thin piece of tin cut to fit inside the press so only juice would come out of the holes.Bought as a replacement since I bent my teacher's garlic press so it was no longer usable. Whoops! She admires the brilliant design and superior materials. I will buy one of these babies for myself one day!

Best Garlic press I ever owned. Easy to squeeze the garlic and clean.

It’s a splurge, but it’s worth it. We’ve had so many garlic crushers over the years, and this one is absolutely our favorite. It’s so easy to clean and easy to use. It’s well made and feels like it will last a lifetime.The only thing that takes some getting used to is how it will swing all the way open and apart when you first open it to put garlic in, but that’s not a big deal - it’s more of a surprise.This would be a great gift for anyone who loves to cook, and a great gift for yourself if you love to cook!

This is an excellent garlic press. It makes quick work of mincing garlic and with little squeezing effort. I usually chop my garlic by hand and would only use my old garlic press if I had a large volume or was pressed for time. I find myself using this one more often because it does a better job. It requires less effort and there is less waste. With my old press I had to scrape it out between cloves or it would get jammed up. This one seems more powerful and efficient, I can process a lot of garlic and not have to scrape it out until I’m done. It says you can use unpeeled cloves but that seems weird to me so I can’t comment on how well it tackles that task. I would rate it 5 stars but it’s a little pricey and the way the basket part swings out - does make it easy to clean, but it’s a little awkward for me. Overall it’s a great press and I would buy it again.

High quality, easy to use and clean.

It is amazing. I love garlic this press makes it easy.

After seeing all the glowing reviews, I was really psyched to get this garlic press. Having used it for several months now, I must say I have rarely been so disappointed with a kitchen product. I am annoyed literally every time I use it, which, given my love of garlic, is quite often.The press has a fairly unique design, where the curved top handle extends the whole length of the press and fits over the sides of the bottom handle when pressed. Although it may look cool, in practice, it means that unless you're careful, it's quite easy to pinch the heel of you palm between the segments. Bad design! To clean the press, you swing it all the way open (past 180º), exposing the crushing plate and the holes. True to other reviews it really is fairly easy to clean. However, you can't press garlic from this position. To do that, you have to swing it to less than a 180º opening angle. However, the press won't stay in this configuration, meaning you must hold it down with your thumb to keep it from swinging open and dumping your uncrushed garlic out into your food. Once the garlic is loaded, you then have to move your thumb out of the way--an annoying extra step that slows down the whole process. Again, poor design. Once your thumb is out of the way, you can deliver the coup de grace and crush that garlic (being careful not to also crush your hand)! Great. Except that only a smallish fraction of the garlic actually gets crushed through the little holes. Something like half of the volume of the clove ends up smashed flat against the bottom of the crushing surface and doesn't come out--even if you peel the garlic first. You have to pry this flattened bit out between before you can crush any more cloves. Again, bad design. If you try to put multiple cloves in, a significant amount of partially-crushed garlic comes up the sides, where it is likely to fall into your food. If I wanted large partially-crushed chunks, I would have just used a knife. The garlic that does make it through the press seems to be nicely minced, but it tends to stick to the bottom of the press rather than falling (or squirting) into your food, neccesitating another step to scrape the garlic off. All in all, this press does only a mediocre job at crushing garlic. Plus it's annoying to use. I recommend going with another, simpler product.
