Trudeau Garlic Press
Bought this for my grandmother because she uses a lot of garlic in her cooking and she likes it a lot. It's plain to skin and crush garlic with though it can be a little difficult to clean.
Excellent gadget!
I have tried several garlic presses and this is the only one I've tried that unqualifiedly did the job! Cooks Illustrated rated it highly and I agree.
Very much simply - it breaks easily.
It seemed to industry ok, but it broke with very moderate use. The handle snapped in half without much pressure. I will never buy this again.
garlic press
I fervour this garlic press. It is stainless steel. made well and comfortable to hold. It will be used a lot so I wanted one that is sturdy. This one is sturdy.
Trudeau Garlic Press-- works very well!!
I recently purchased this ingredient with a Oxo Good Grips Garlic Peeler to perhaps speed up and ease the very frequent chore of prepping fesh garlic for cooking. I have familiar many garlic presses in the past and never felt that any of them lived up to their promise and always abandoned them for the sticky mess of the process using a caboose knife and chopping board. Years pass and new friends arrive and LOTS of garlic is back on the menu. Amazingly, over the years, I didn't get any younger or more submissive so I went searching for the possible modern device that is actually worthwhile. After reading all the reviews here on Amazon, I concluded that this was the offering with the cost/function ratio that I was looking for so I ordered it along with a new type of silicone garlic peeler that resembles a pliable manicotti. Much to my delight, I found that both devices met or exceeded my hopes. I was preparing pasta with sauteed garlic and needed to construct an entire bulb for the dish. In less than 5 min, I had the cloves all peeled and ready for the press with very little effort and mess. You hole the cloves of the bulb, insert 3-4 into the "manicotti" and roll on the counter. Then you pour the contents into a pan (keeps the paper from covering the counter) and easily seperate the garlic. The press works like all others-- put 2-3 generous cloves into the device and squeeze the handles. With a full load of cloves, the handles can require a somewhat aggressive squeeze but it is not impossible and reducing the number of bulbs being pressed at a time can make this easier. This is the only discuss with that I gave only 4 stars-- there will be some who are annoyed at the force it takes. It will also crush unpeeled cloves with some more pressure and a undersized waste of garlic which clings to the peels. When using it this way, the handles flip around and an attached cleaner presses the residuum back out of the seive. The Oxo Peeler works so quickly and with such little mess that I prefer to peel the cloves first. Both tools deplete b empty up quickly with a hand wash.
