Drop a clove into the round chamber, close the handles and the plunger pushes minced garlic through the \u003cstrong\u003eperforated base\u003c\/strong\u003e straight into your pan. The long, curved handles give you leverage, so it takes far less effort than you would expect. The press \u003cstrong\u003eopens wide for rinsing\u003c\/strong\u003e under the tap, and the shiny all-metal finish looks smart hanging on a utensil rail. In a Kenyan kitchen, where garlic goes into pilau, beef stew, chicken, githeri and countless marinades, it saves time every single day and keeps the smell off your fingers and chopping board. It is a great upgrade for busy home cooks and a handy tool for small restaurants and caterers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHard stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHinged lever garlic press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChamber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound, perforated base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpens fully for rinsing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the smoothest result, cut very large cloves in half before pressing. Many cooks press unpeeled cloves and lift the skin out afterwards, which saves peeling time; try both and see which you prefer. Rinse the press immediately after use, before garlic dries in the holes, and push any stubborn bits through with a toothpick or small brush. Dry it fully before putting it away so it stays shiny. If you mainly crush large quantities for pastes, this lever press is quicker per clove than a rocker press. Avoid prying it open with force while garlic is stuck inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChopping garlic by knife gives control but takes time and leaves sticky, smelly fingers. Cheaper plastic or alloy presses can bend or snap at the hinge. A heavy stainless steel press crushes faster than a knife and stands up to daily use far better than lightweight presses, making it the more dependable choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I have to peel the garlic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot always.
