Gourmet Easy Garlic Press Lifetime Replacement, No Need to Peel, Fine Mince

The stainless steel garlic press looks nice, very sturdy. I tried it without totally peeling garlic and it worked well. Fit nicely in my hand and squeezing the press was not difficult. I am pleased. Cleaned up nicely. Arrived quickly after order was placed. Totally satisfied and have lots of garden fresh (and dried) garlic to keep the press active. Thanks!

This garlic press is everything advertised - high quality, very easy to use and clean. It comes apart with a scraper and is easy to then wash. JUST WHAT I NEEDED.

This review focuses on the “fine” mince model. As seen in the product description the Gourmet Easy Garlic Press is comprised of two separate parts. Let's call them the press part and the “mince” part. Both parts of the garlic press I received appear to be cast, forged or machined from a solid piece of stainless steel. I may be wrong about that but if so, the manufacturer did a good job hiding any joints. In either case, this product is fit for use and looks great. I tested the metal with a magnet which barely stuck. Because it only "sort of stuck" implies the metal is derived from a ferrous steel its magnetic attraction is weak because stainless steel is often alloyed with such things as chromium or nickel. The weak magnetic attraction confirmed to my opinion that it is indeed a stainless steel not aluminum or some kind of pot metal which has zero magnetic attraction. The parts have an excellent fit and high gloss finish. Really a beautiful product. But the real question is: Does it work? I tried it and the press did an excellent job squeezing peeled garlic cloves. I did not try to press un-peeled cloves so I cannot comment on that (at this time). I peeled the entire bulb at one sitting and have since learned that if peeled cloves are not used quickly they can be stored for several months in the fridge. The most frequently recommended way I researched is to cover the peeled cloves with wine vinegar in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. The vinegar preserves the cloves which makes the next use of the garlic press all the more simple and easy. Some people have remarked about difficulty squeezing the clove: I can squeeze one clove at a time with one hand … but it is easier to use both hands. Construction is simple yet elegant: The Press part of the handle has notches into which ears on the Mince piece are inserted (see photos). But neither piece has any joint or tight crevice that would allow squeezed elements of the clove to collect and clog. So being able to easily clean this item (completely) was one of the key reasons I was willing to pay more for this product. The fresh/peeled cloves I squeezed came through the mince part cleanly and were scraped off the bottom of the mince part directly into the recipe. There was a bit of the clove left behind inside the mince compartment but that was easily washed away with a hot water rinse and sent down the disposal unit. Nothing left over to smell up the place. The parts were then separated and rinsed with hot water again - this time with a brush, which did a surprisingly good job - there was almost no smell of garlic remaining anywhere on the press ... even after a simple scrub and rinse with nothing more than hot water. That really surprised me. I then washed the item using dish soap and a brush in the mince compartment ... this ensured (to my personal satisfaction) that all the holes in the mince compartment were cleared of any squeezed residue. I dried it off by hand and put it away into my gadget drawer. Conclusion: Aside from its top notch functional capability, its fabulous good looks, and the FDA Certified Food Grade Stainless Steel material ... plus ... a 5 year replacement policy, the features collectively make this item well worth its cost ... in my opinion. Highly Recommended.

I like this garlic press, the heaviness lends to the durability of it. I like that’s its dishwasher safe without the dulling and pitting of other types I have tried. The 2 part design does not bother me. It does work on non-peeled cloves which I like, and yes you have to clear the peel after every clove but that doesn’t take near as long as peeling by hand. It takes strength to press a clove with the peeling on, more so than peeled cloves. It washes quickly except for the holes. I like low maintenance tools but this part is tedious to clean the garlic out of the holes. I’m surprised the manufacturer doesn’t include a plastic piece fitting the holes to easily poke the garlic out of the holes. I use a rather large nail to poke it out but that is time consuming since I can only do 1 at a time. This is the only drawback I find with this garlic press.

Best garlic press ever designed. It's extremely sturdy, enough to last a lifetime. No pins or hinges to break. Strong stainless steel, won't bend. The size is great, able to fit multiple small garlic cloves or even the largest cloves. It's dishwasher safe, although I usually brush it first to make sure there are no garlic bits stuck in the holes. It's easy to squeeze. I love that I can use the top piece to scrape garlic off the bottom into the pan, and then the leftovers into the trash without ever getting my hands dirty.

The idea of it is amazing. A simple two piece metal garlic press that interlocks, is simple and easy to clean. However, the actual product is sloppy. I'm guessing the molds they are using are old and worn leading to sloppy tolerances. When using it a lot tends to squish out the front and back because there is too much room. The half feel cheap somehow like the metal is made of foam. Even the scraper function doesn't work great because the edge isn't flat and very rounded. I will still use it because I dislike mincing garlic and it's still easy to clean, but it falls short of it's potential.

I’ve had various garlic presses, but this is by far the absolute best. Easy to use, easy to clean.

Without a doubt the best garlic press on the market. I've used a bunch of different types and brands and for the most part, they all function the same. However, the design of this press is next level. Having two separate pieces that come together super easy and act as the joint is amazing. It took maybe one or two uses to get used to inserting the top section into the bottom but it's still very easy to use even during that learning process. Being able to separate the two parts with no effort makes inserting garlic and cleaning the device SO EASY. Cleaning garlic presses has always been a pain to do and if you stick them in the dishwasher, even stainless ones start to have issues with the joint. There's no joint here and since the two parts separate, it's easy to access the press area. Not to mention, the top part is designed to be used to scrape the garlic off the bottom when it doesn't shoot out all the way AND it fits perfectly in the pressing bed so it scraping out the skins is fast and easy. Now I use the top handle instead of a paring knife or my fingers. The handles are well shaped and sturdy. The handles separating doesn't cause any problem whatsoever with use. I will never buy another garlic press and have recommended it to all my friends who enjoy cooking. Look no further. This is the perfect garlic press.

Den bästa vitlökspress jag provat. Köper den till bekanta i present! Stabil, löstagbar, flexar inte i materialet när man pressar. Toppen!

Prodotto eccezionale. Schiaccia subito l’aglio (ho provato solo senza buccia ma in teoria dovrebbe riuscire anche con) si pulisce benissimo grazie al modello fatto in 2 parti separate, e sembra di ottima qualità. Spero durerà a lungo

Works like a dream and easy to clean

Beste Knobipresse👍!Der Knoblauch wird aber auch bis auf das letzte Fruchtfleisch ausgedrückt!Es bleibt wirklich nur noch das Faserige übrig!Sie lässt sich leicht reinigen!Man muss den Rest etwas rauskratzen und mit einem Zahnstocher die Löcher etwas frei machen,dann mit Wasser abspülen!Dazu sieht sie auch noch edel aus!Bin sehr begeistert!Sie war das Geld allemal wert und wird jetzt erst mal einige Jahre halten❤️

Mooie pers, makkelijk schoon te maken
