No Peeling Required Garlic Press Stainless Steel with Detachable Handle for Fine Mincing-Premium Garlic Mincer Tool, Rust-Proof, Easy to Clean, Dishwasher Safe Garlic Crusher with Lifetime Replacement

If I could give this garlic press ten stars I absolutely would! It is wonderful and a joy to press garlic with!! Can you tell I'm excited?? Because it 1000% excited me when I finally found a solid stainless steel garlic press that was dishwasher safe, if I so desired. The fact that it comes apart AND has a little built in garlic scraper on the handle is the icing on the top! AND it's not required to peel it first?! GET OUTTA HERE!!!! I didn't realize you didn't have to peel it first when I first bought it but then happened to see some reviews saying you didn't have to. So I tested it out and holy moly you really don't have to peel it first!!! I didn't peel it the one test time (all cloves were unpeeled), but I prefer to always peel my garlic, so I went back to always peeling it. But it 100% is absolutely not required!My mom, a very petite lady with small hands, also tried it one day when she was fixing some food and she said it is *much* easier to grip than all the straight handled presses out there.I love that this press comes apart so it's easy to get all the garlic cleaned off and as I said before extra handy that it's got its own built in scraper! I got the set so both the large and small hole parts. I definitely use the larger press more than the smaller press but I have used the small one a few times.Yes, it's more expensive but this baby will literally last you generations! It's very well made and solid. I usually always hand wash it, but I've put it through the dishwasher a couple times and it's been just fine.I promise you won't regret buying this baby!

This really is a great press. Actually works well, easy to use, and 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.

Pretty nice press, not perfect as garlic cloves do spit out the sides a bit. Better than others I have tried. Two piece design allows for easy cleaning.

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.
