Detachable Garlic Press

A solid metal garlic press with a chamber that lifts out for cleaning. A press crushes a clove in one squeeze and releases more of its oils than chopping does, which is why pressed garlic tastes stronger than the same clove minced with a knife.

The usual complaint about garlic presses is washing them. Here the perforated basket detaches, so the pulp left behind rinses out from both sides instead of being picked out of the holes with a skewer.

Why you'll love it

• One squeeze — a crushed clove without a knife or a board.
• Detachable basket — comes apart to rinse clean.
• Heavy metal body — zinc alloy that doesn't flex under pressure.
• Long handles — the leverage does the work, not your grip.

Details

• Material: zinc alloy with a stainless steel basket
• Feature: removable pressing chamber
• Ideal for: garlic, ginger

Rinse it the moment you have used it. Garlic pulp washes away under the tap while wet and sets like glue once it dries.
