Customer Reviews
Must be better ones out thereI do like that this press can harangue 2-3 cloves and is easy to squeeze. I don't like the fact that much of the garlic is wasted (doesn't go through the holes) and that it's very obstructive to clean---the rubber nibs just don't do the job and you have to dig it out with a knife.
Not recommended, cling together with the Zyliss
I bought this based on the praise from Cooks Illustrated to replace my trusty Zyliss press. With the Zyliss, you can press the garlic with the skin on and it is easy to clean. The self-cleaner on this one gets all gunked up and you distress to peel the garlic first. Skip this press and get the Zyliss.
boring, hard to use
I purchased this yield based on the Cooks' Illustrated review. I really dislike it. Sometimes I have to use two hands to squeeze the garlic. It is very heavy. My old press was lighter and effortlessly to press, but the finish was damaged by washing it in the dishwasher. I miss it. I dislike this press enough that I will likely buy a new one and donate this one to good will. I have owned it for about 1 year. Aside from the teeth on the back of the press allowing for easier cleaning I don't see what there is to like about this press.
Prevent away from it
Bought this press as it was #2 at Analysis Kitchen. Had it about 2 years til it broke the other night. Part of the hinge assembly literally broke off the body as I was squeezing the garlic. This is chrome plated zinc. The zinc not energetic enough to take continual use. We go through a lot of garlic in our cooking. This press replaced the Zyliss in which the non-stick coating wore away exposing the naked metal underneath the coating. This was the same problem Test Kitchen had with theirs, and the reason they tested again to find a replacement. So wait away from both the Trudeu and Zyliss presses unless you want to be buying replacements about every 2 years. Very thwarted in both of them.
garlic press shattered into 4 pieces
The garlic press worked for 1.5 years although utterly large pieces as review on America's Test Kitchen stated. While preparing a veggie stir fry this evening it shattered into several pieces totally ruining the dinner and I had to throw the meal away. The garlic was fresh and quite moist, it appears that the press suffered metal weakness at the hinge. Quite disappointing.
