Garlic goes on everything. I mean EVERYTHING!! Thanks for creating a tribe about my fave thing. If I didn't have a garlic press I would curl up in a little ball and die.

Thu, April 15, 2004 - 9:45 PMI've never owned a garlic press. My friends that have them complain that they're hard to clean. I either cut it up real small or smash it with the side of a large blade.
What makes your press so special? Do my friends have the wrong kind? -

Re: YUM!
Fri, April 16, 2004 - 10:16 AMI have a really nice one that I believe I bought at a Revereware outlet years ago (at least 5). Easy to use and VERY easy to clean! It's a heavy-duty clear acrylic tube, with a screw post that pushes the cloves through a detachable clear acrylic base. Nice large holes, I like it coarse. Tonight I'll check and see if there's any info on it that would make it findable.

Fri, April 16, 2004 - 10:31 AMMy press is from Ikea - inexprensive and heavy duty. There are a lot of crappy presses out on the markety that break or bend heavy use. For example, I like to use my press for squeezing out ginger juice to add to my stir fry sauce. Of course I also add mucho garlic! -

Sun, September 10, 2006 - 3:24 AMI like to use mine also to squeeze out onion juice for certian recipes that if I use the whole onion in it would burn. But definatly if it can't squeeze some ginger without bending or breaking it's not good quality! I went through 5 different ones before I found a good one!!

Fri, April 16, 2004 - 11:28 AMI'm with you there. I'd rather chop it finely than try to use a press. Every press I've seen actually WASTES garlic.

Fri, April 16, 2004 - 11:16 AMHi Mandy. My name is Kerri and I'm a garliholic. I'm glad you found your way to this humble and stinking tribe!
My garlic press is just a simple, old, 2-piece metal affair that I probably picked up at the grocery store. After scraping excess garlic chad (ha ha! garlic chad!) off of it when I'm finished pressing, I run it under water and run it through the dishwasher. It seems pretty low-maintanence to me.

Mon, May 10, 2004 - 6:08 PMMandy: Yes indeed, garlic on EVERYTHING! That way when a garlic lover kisses another in the garlic conspiracy, no one gets offended either...
