OXO Good Grips Garlic Press, Black

Product Information

An alternative choice to using a garlic press is a mini food processor, like the Electric Mini Garlic Chopper by ‎XIAOCAI. This compact and powerful processor comes with three built-in 304 food-grade stainless steel blades. Thanks to the powerful blades, it can effortlessly chop, blend and mince several ingredients, including garlic, ginger and chillies. The designers at Zyliss included a cleaning tool that can be used to remove the leftover skin with one end by poking it into the hopper, and using the teeth on the other end to remove any leftover garlic. Out of all the garlic presses we tested, we found this to be one of the best cleaning tools that came with a garlic press. A minor caveat is that this press did smell faintly of garlic after being cleaned, but that could be because it’s aluminum.

It creates minimal fuss when it comes to mincing several cloves of garlic, as you don’t need to keep opening up the jaws of the press for each clove (like you do with traditional pressers). Type: There are many options when it comes to the sort of garlic presses available. You can choose from:Using a spoon, we scraped the pulp off and used the end of the cleaning brush to remove any leftover garlic from the hopper. The provided brush made it easy to remove excess pulp from the hopper, and clean the garlic press. Once you’ve decided how you want your garlic prepared, remove the peel using the silicone peeler. Using either the slicing or chopping accessory, put the clove inside, press down, and the garlic will fall into the storage container. Additionally, closing the top to dice or slice the garlic didn't require much effort or strength. Plus, there’s no mess, or touching of garlic, so you can simply pull the clear box out and dump it onto your pan or bowl. It has shorter handles than other garlic presses, making it less practical for those with larger hands

One downside of this garlic press however, was that it required the strength of two hands to crush the garlic cloves. Plus, it needed to be pressed down pretty hard during the squeeze to get the pulp out.

We recommend going for ones made from durable materials such as stainless steel or die-cast zinc. Mince Test: We pressed two to three cloves of garlic in each press (depending on the capacity), and compared the size and consistency of the results to a knife-minced clove. We also noted how much force each press needed at max capacity. Unpeeled Clove Test: We pressed one unpeeled clove through each garlic press that claimed it could handle unpeeled cloves and ranked each based on the quality of mince, total yield, and how much force was needed.
