Chef'n Garlic Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I agree with some of the other posts. It is a good idea, but not entirely foolproof. First, fresh garlic does not last forever - every week or so, toss out unused garlic, clean with at least some hot water, and re-fill with fresh cloves. Second, the comments about odor are correct. However, there are a couple ways to overcome this: One, wipe it off with a paper towel after every use. It only takes a second. Two, store it in a gallon-size ziploc bag in the fridge. It take no more effort and space to do this. If you want to go a step further, put a little baking soda in the bag. These are effortless solutions that take maybe 90% of odors. I also keep it in the egg compartment in the door (since, ironically, it is the worst place to store eggs) as an additional barrier and quick access.
For me, it does not take the place of freshly prepared garlic in nice dishes -- but it works very well for a quick addition of nearly-fresh garlic. I recommend it if you use garlic frequently, or would but for the trouble. If you buy the minced garlic in jars, you'll get your money back in a few months by using this and buy heads of garlic.

Kuhn Rikon Easy-Squeeze Garlic Press Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I owe the Kuhn Epicurean all-stainless garlic press and love it. My mother was visiting recently and was impressed with it, but found it a bit hard to squeeze and thought it was better suited to a larger hand. My 12-year old daughter, who likes to cook, made the same remark.
I wanted to give my mother a garlic press, and thus, this "Easy-Squeeze" unit seemed ideal. However, we found it no easier to squeeze than the Epicurean. Furthermore, the red handles are plastic and not as brightly colored or shiny as the online image suggests. The press has a flimsy or squishly feeling relative to the Epicurean. As we're squeezing, you can feel the handles bend, as well as wobble slightly side-to-side.
It still presses garlic beautifully. The actual pressing mechanism and screen are made of the same high-quality stainless steel as in the Epicurean. It is just as easy to clean.
For the price ($19.95 vs. $39.95), this easy-squeeze unit may be a good deal, but we much prefer the heft and solid feeling of the Epicurean. We feel like the Epicurean will last a lifetime and don't mind spending the extra money. However, with the easy-squeeze, the question for me is not IF it will fail, but WHEN?
We've only used it one day, so maybe I'm worrying about something that will never happen. However, I intend to return this press and give my mother the Epicurean instead.

Zyliss 12040 Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this garlic press for over two years now and consider it to be the best press I have ever used! The well for the garlic is very large, accommodating more than one garlic clove at a time. When only pressing one or two cloves, you don't really have to peal the cloves, the pressing action does it for you! A little more hand pressure is required when pressing more than two cloves at a time. Cleanup is a breeze with hot soapy water.

A kitchen essential, this jumbo-size garlic press makes it easy to cook with fresh garlic. The unit can accommodate several cloves at a time, with a clever design that eliminates the need for peeling prior to pressing. Simply place unpeeled cloves into the oversized hopper and firmly squeeze the ergonomic handles together. The press instantly removes the peelings and extracts the garlic bits and juice through its mesh shield, creating a fine dice that would have otherwise required several steps with a knife and cutting board. Best of all, its included cleaning tool sports tiny teeth that fit perfectly into the pressing surface, removing all traces of garlic fragments in one smooth move. Use the handy tool to add fresh garlic to authentic Italian dishes, delicious homemade breads, savory soups, and more. The dishwasher-safe garlic press measures approximately 11-8/9 by 1-2/3 by 4-2/3 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.
