Wonderful Easy Smooshing
I don't have a profound deal of strenghth in my hands - no real problems, just kind of a weakling. But you really don't requisite to be Hercules with this goody. I just halve or quarter the garlic cloves, throw them in the hopper and smooosh - out comes nicely minced garlic. Also, as many other reviewers have said, the puff up that lets you push out the last of the garlic is very nice. I'm very happy with this easy to use, easy to clean tool.

Most superbly Garlic Press
This Oxo Stainless Stiletto Garlic Press is just the best press I've ever used. There may be others that are superior but I have never used them. I've managed to damage or break every garlic press we've ever owned which is why I went searching for a genuinely sturdy one. After browsing the selection on Amazon.com I decided to get the Oxo as it looked to be the most sturdy at a tolerable price fitting. I must admit it was one of my better decisions on kitchen tools.

It's not 100% anti-me as I've successfully managed to crush off 4 of the plastic teeth on the built-in cleaning/clearing pad. the metal parts however show absolutely no sign of burden, stress or fatigue. I pressed some garlic this morning for a spread and it works as well as the day it arrived. To me this means quality. It continues to purpose and function well, as advertised and shows no signs of giving out now or any time in the future. If for some reason which I can't think of this would ever leave I would buy another one without hesitation.

Top product
Enthusiastic product--easily mashes several cloves of garlic at once and easy to clean. Quality construction. I am a woman with rather small hands and poor hand/upper body strength, but I find this easy to use.

Kuhn Rikon's Most qualified Press, but with cavets
I have two Kuhn Rikon's presses. A imitation one, with a built-in scraper Kuhn Rikon Easy-Clean Garlic Press w/scraper, White and Kuhn's Gluttonous. There are good and bad things about both.

1. The Epicurean comes with a lifetime warranty. The Easy-Clean comes with a 1 yr agreement. I broke my Easy-Clean after about 8 months and without any documentation, and Kuhn Rikon replaced it in 6 weeks. You can get 3 Easy as can be-Cleans for the price of one Epicurean. I broke mine while trying to press multiple cloves at the same time, maybe 3.

2. Both are dishwasher unpolluted, have a fold-out press plate that allows you to clean it easily. The Easy-Clean has a built-in scraper bar so you don't desideratum to have a handy edge to scrape the extruded garlic off of the press plate. You need two hands to do this, one for the handles and one for the scraper bar, but you exigency two hands if you need to use a knife to scrape the garlic off the Epicurean, too.

3. Both make pretty good minced garlic, the Informal-Clean, imo, seems to make slightly coarser pieces. Both leak juice on the sides of the press. Both collect bits of garlic on top of the press platter or in the fold mechanism.

4. It is slightly easier to press the Epicurean, though a friend of mine with slight palsy found the Epicurean severely to handle and press partly due, I think to the weight of the device and the excessive curve and the spread of the handles when it has garlic in the reception room. The Easy-Clean is easier to grasp since the handles lay closer and have no curve. Someone with small hands may find the Voluptuous hard to use one handed.

5. Excessive juicing of the garlic happens when large cloves or multiple cloves are acclimated to in either press. This means that you can have some stray squirts of garlic juice and garlic if you are pressing into a small bowl (like those little bowls old to mise en place on cooking shows).

5. I like the size of the resulting garlic pieces; a very fine mince. I impose upon they had a way of giving you a slightly larger size with some sort of changeable press plate. You can certainly prepare your garlic in the press, and lawful squeeze it into the pan when needed. If you are looking to retard the browning/burning effect, a nice trick is to press it into a paltry bowl and add a bit of water prior to putting it into the pan, the garlic will be so moist that it will not burn in many circumstances giving you more time to saute or be more lenient of a hotter pan.

6. The Epicurean can juice ginger - it is constructed so well. If the ginger root is very young, and tender, you will get particles, if it tougher, you will be qualified to squeeze out the juice and leave all the fiber on the press plate. Obviously not for 1" pieces of ginger but a sensible coin slice can be used. A Kyocera 3.5 Inch Ceramic Grater still has particles leaving the fiber on the ceramic bumps on the grater. In Asian cooking, particles trump vitality. Hence my wish for slightly larger holes.

7. Garlic being what it is in most stores, susceptible to fungus and mold on the paper skins (even if you can't see it), I never use unpeeled garlic, and always cut off the fix end. (And I take out any green shoot in the middle since it's bitter.) My opinion. I can't talk about pressing unpeeled garlic.

8. I really like the Epicure but I also really like the built-in scraper bar on the Easy-Clean. And between my two presses, I think that the Easy-Scour's pressed garlic seems more like little pieces while the Epicurian's results are finer.

I characterize as it's worth it.
It's a lot of folding money compared to most everything else out there. I had an Oxo and various others in my life. I saw the review for this in Cook's Illustrated, but the price seemed high. I finally gave in after a year of having this on my wishlist. Now I be acquainted with why it's worth it.

It minces like that, it cleans like that (just rinse, garlic's a natural anti-microbial), it makes you long for to eat more garlic, make garlic bread every night, make garlic butter, make garlic oil, stir fry garlic add some cilantro right at the end legitimate to wilt, and put it on fish, meat, chicken, pork, veggies, even cereal. I've never had such fresh breathe.

It does a excellent job on ginger, all the tough fibers are left on the press, add that to your stir fry.

This thing looks built to last, my rivets are entire, there's no stamping, things got welded together it seems. I think this thing will last at least a couple generations. That's why I think it's worth it. Advantage it's super sexy.

Keen! nothing like I've used before!
Never seen any garlic press like this one. I was steptical when reviews states
it will break garlic UNPEELED, but it does and it does well and with ease!

I'm having a grand old time, using garlic in so many receipes! SO undemanding to clean
and it "flips" open and all the parts are exposed for easy soap and rinse.

Very please with the quality of the whole shebang b a thrashing! Solid state, stainless, will provide
(hopefully) years of use. I'm learning... to just buy a much better scullery
tool, whether an egg slicer or cheese slicer, just read reviews and invest a bit
more, it saves in the elongated run.

Conquer Garlic Press Ever
I have had this press for almost 3 months and I am always looking for a act to use it. Very easy to press even the largest of cloves and does a very complete job of it. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

It's Very Quiet To Use & Clean
I first saw this specific garlic press being used in a culinary cook class video pod cast, I subscribe to from the online iTunes keep. Wrote down it's name, found it in-stock here on Amazon.com, and ordered one right away. I've been using a lot more fresh garlic in my foods; and, the Kuhn Rikon Immoderate Garlic Press, makes this so much easier to do.
