OXO Good Grips Garlic Press, Black

Product Information

One downside of this garlic press however, was that it required the strength of two hands to crush the garlic cloves. Plus, it needed to be pressed down pretty hard during the squeeze to get the pulp out. The first thing you’ll notice about the Zyliss Garlic Press is that it’s smaller and lighter than other presses. This garlic press is easy to use because of its lightweight feel and compact size. However, the shorter handles aren’t ideal for those with larger hands.

Budget: Finding a garlic press that suits your budget is one thing to consider. But remember it might be more cost-effective to spend a little extra on a well-designed presser rather than buying a cheap one that might break after only a couple of uses. It creates minimal fuss when it comes to mincing several cloves of garlic, as you don’t need to keep opening up the jaws of the press for each clove (like you do with traditional pressers). Strong and sturdy, the OXO Good Grips Garlic Press can handle multiple cloves at once. Even when the press is full, all it takes is a simple squeeze to crush the garlic into fine pieces.verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Design-wise, The Orblue Garlic Press feels moderately heavy, and has two handles with a basket that swings separately from the handles for ease of use during cleaning. An alternative choice to using a garlic press is a mini food processor, like the Electric Mini Garlic Chopper by ‎XIAOCAI. This compact and powerful processor comes with three built-in 304 food-grade stainless steel blades. Thanks to the powerful blades, it can effortlessly chop, blend and mince several ingredients, including garlic, ginger and chillies. To determine the best garlic presses of 2023, we pressed the same size garlic cloves to analyze how much garlic came out of the press after we crushed it. This Zyliss Susi 3 Garlic Press may resemble a stapler, but this was rated as the best lightweight garlic press in our tests. The updated model from earlier versions of Zyliss’ garlic press features a large hopper that can accommodate one large clove or two small cloves. You don’t need to remove the garlic peel before placing the clove in the hopper but we discovered that you get more garlic out if you remove the skin first.

Raw Taste Test: We tasted a small amount of garlic (from a single clove) pressed through each garlic press and rated the flavor based on sweetness, pungency, odor, and intensity. We compared our tasting notes to knife-minced garlic.
