Product Information

The ones from IKEA are amazing… the round ones. They are super strong and don’t rust or break. Dishwasher-proof too." Rugbycomet Other notable features are that it can hold 250ml and has a speed of 1800 rpm, so will produce great results in no time at all. It’s also easy to take apart and clean the holder, lid and blades. Pros Using a garlic press can save you the effort of chopping up garlic cloves. If the garlic press has a garlic-crushing component that makes it easy to slip the skin off of it, even better. That could help you prep your garlic for cooking with a garlic press and not have to spend much time handling raw garlic, which will leave your hands smelly. Not only is the Garlic Twist easy to use, but it’s also easy to clean. You can leave it to soak in warm soapy water, rinse off any garlic residue and then leave it to dry. Or you can place it in the dishwasher. Pros Design-wise, The Orblue Garlic Press feels moderately heavy, and has two handles with a basket that swings separately from the handles for ease of use during cleaning.

The IKEA one is a bit hard to clean if it's dried a bit.” ShinyNewStartOXO is an established kitchen tool company, and the new OXO Good Grips Garlic Press doesn’t disappoint. As the best garlic press for home cooks, it's a well-made, easy-to-use garlic press for the cook who doesn’t need to crush a lot of garlic at once. The hopper is good for one large garlic clove or two small ones, and you can crush the garlic without removing the skin if preferred. OXO Steel Garlic Press: With smaller holes on the screen, the mince from this press was repulsively pungent. The smaller holesclogged easily and were hard to clean.

Type: There are many options when it comes to the sort of garlic presses available. You can choose from:

This Zyliss Susi 3 Garlic Press gets points for being lightweight at just 5.12 ounces, 3but we still needed to use both hands to exert more grip strength to crush large cloves of garlic. Bear in mind, you’ll need to ensure the metal crusher lines up in the hopper properly before bringing the two pieces together to crush the garlic. This Joseph Joseph Helix Garlic Press Mincer was our best garlic press for those with a weak grip, making it fun to use. It has a unique design that allows for a twisting motion to crush the garlic in the hopper. Simply take the skin off first, then add the garlic to the hopper before aligning the other handle on top. (Dots on each handle show you where to line it up.) Then using two hands, simply twist the pieces towards each other, and use a spoon to scrape the crushed garlic off the bottom. Alternatively, you could use the end of the spoon handle to get the remaining garlic out of the hopper, or a tiny spoon to get the crushed garlic out. It has shorter handles than other garlic presses, making it less practical for those with larger hands However the Dreamfarm Garject Garlic Press does a great job of peeling, crushing and ejecting garlic well — without you touching the garlic. It also comes with lots of bells and whistles — a stark contrast from the other garlic presses we tested.

Joseph Joseph Helix Garlic Press Mincer: With a very deep hopper and plastic handles that flexed, it was really hard to clean the screen and find enough leverage to mince the garlic. 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. 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.Best of all, using a garlic press should save you from chopping, dicing and slicing garlic cloves. How we tested How we tested the best garlic presses The fact that the hopper is separate from the two handles and swings out makes it easier to clean. However, we found cleaning this garlic press by hand required a scrubbing brush, and a bit more elbow-grease than some of the other garlic presses in this list. 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.
