Amazon.com Review

This large garlic press quickly squeezes out up to three cloves of garlic at a time or one clove of elephant garlic for making pesto or homemade broth and doesn’t even require you to peel the cloves. The plunger is designed to press out the maximum amount of garlic and juice so little goes to waste and to prevent peelings from slipping through the press. The ergonomically designed handle provides better leverage during pressing and more comfortable squeezing. This garlic press comes with a cleaning tool with prongs for cleaning out the holes and a flat end for scooping out peelings. The press is dishwasher-safe and is covered by Zyliss under a five-year warranty from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars The best garlic press available, November 12, 2003

By A Customer

I've used many a garlic press in my culinary career and most of them were terrible. This one is sensational (if such a thing can be said about such a humble implement). Easy to use and clean, it produces maximum garlic output even from unpeeled cloves. I'm buying a new one because the cleaning tool fell into the clutches -- jaws, actually -- of the puppy and perished.

Using a Garlic Press is a great way to partake in teh pleasures of Garlic, but the cleaning of these things is the downfall. The cleaning device that accompanies this press makes the cleaning almost a breeze.

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is great, January 11, 2005

By	James A. Rizzolo (McLean, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

THere's a lot to like about this garlic press. It's a great timesaver: just pop the cloves in, skins and all and out pops crushed garlic. Much faster than peeling and chopping, and you get all the valuable juice from the garlic as well. This jumbo sized model is an improvement over the original (which I've used): large cloves can go straight in without needing to halved first. And smaller cloves can go in 2 at a time. Finally, the cleaning tool makes cleaning the holes of the press a snap.

This does take a bit of strength to operate, so those with very small hands or arthritis may not be able to use this well. But if that's not a concern, you can't go wrong with this press.
