For years I've been just slamming garlic with a fist or handy object to remove the husk then
chop with a knife. For years I may just slice em up and dump in whatever.
Recently I was on a quest to find a garlic press. Can't say why, just decided I wanted something more better than my tried and true manual method, which was great cause I love the smell of garlic
on my fingers. Wanna sniff em?
Anyway, I looked all over Amazon. Read zillions of reviews of trials and tribulations of various
garlic press's. I balked at the price of many and how many had issues with falling apart or
having plating chip and fail. I balked at many due to the fact MADE IN CHINA seems to be the mantra.
I wont' mention names.
Well, I finally decided I'd give this on a try. The 'press' arrived today. I've had a chance
to use it on 4 cloves. Bottom line this thing worked great. A few twists and I had nicely ground garlic, better and finer grind then I get by my manual methods (cause I'm always in a rush)
The unit was easy to clean with a simple rinse in the sink.
I had no issues twisting this model, the new one with the handy knobs grips built in.
Course I'm a 54 year old male so maybe it might be a different story if your wrist strength
isn't there. The cloves I used for this test were of the 'medium' size and not the giant size. I used two at a time for my test. With the ease it handled those I doubt it would be a issue with 4 medium size cloves at a time.
Unless you had some serious arthritis I don't' think anyone would have a problem with this.
If someone did, it would be easy enough to chop a giant clove in half before placing it in the unit.
Of course you smash the clove first and remove the husk then place it in the unit. The unit makes a handy smasher no separate smashing device required.
No plating to fall out and get in your food with this. It looks like high quality acrylic of some sort to me.
Far as I know not made in China. That is a major plus on top of it all.

The Garlic Twist is a really cool invention and makes mincing garlic really easy. Here's my rundown of pluses and minuses after using it for about a month:
Pros:
- The capacity is larger than many other garlic presses. I was able to cram 4 cloves in if I cut each one in half.
- Does a great job of mincing garlic. The texture is perfect and it's much faster then manually mincing with a knife.
Cons:
- As mentioned in another review, the plastic is polycarbonate and contains BPA. If BPA concerns you, skip this one and get a metal garlic press.
- It does take quite a bit of strength to use. My 70-year-old mother-in-law couldn't do it. People with arthritis might have issues too.
- You need a spoon to dig the garlic from in between the plastic tines. Not a big deal, most garlic presses are this way.
- If you twist perpendicular to the ground (which is the most natural position), garlic juice may drip out. If you have a lot of strength and keep the halves together, this is not a problem.

I ordered this from the seller 'Chez Alizee' for what I thought was a great price. Item was received in a tiny box with horribly translated phrases all over it and an 'as seen on TV' logo. Product was polystyrene (brittle) plastic, didn't have the grooves to get a good grip on it while twisting, and just felt really cheap. Clearly not an authentic product. Amazon would not replace it, only refund... I guess this deal was too good to be true after all. Beware of this seller. I hope I can prevent another Amazon patron from being as disappointed as I was.

Finally!
Finally, a garlic "chopper" that really works. Easy to use, easy to clean. And you don't waste some of the clove as happens in the press type garlic devices.

Works, but is a pain to clean.
This works as advertised, but I rarely use it. A lot of garlic just gets stuck and it takes forever to remove it with a toothpick.

Don't get it
It choppes the garlic but not as easily as you might think. The number one reason you shouldn't get it is because once the garlic is chopped it is stuck between the teeth of the... Read more

Great Device Now Even Better
Don't know why so many people seem to have a problem getting the garlic out. Perhaps they don't take the time to read the instructions about forming the triangles as the last step. Read more
