Esta es la mejor prensa de ajo que he tenido. Me dieron uno hace unos años en los Estados Unidos y me enamoré de ella. Luego compré una prensa de ajo recomendada por Amazon (Amazon Choice) por la mitad del precio, lo que hace un buen trabajo pero no es nada comparado con este. Mi padre siempre me dijo de niño "Recibes lo que pagas", y esto es 100% cierto para esta prensa de ajo. Acabo de comprar otra y, a pesar del alto precio, sé que he hecho lo correcto. Es duradero, muy fácil de limpiar, funciona perfectamente sin esfuerzo en el ajo y también en el jengibre que las prensas de ajo más baratas no pueden manejar.

I upgraded to this press after having a cheaper metal press for years. I never used my old press - every once in a while I'd remember I had it, drag it out and attempt to press a clove. Then I would remember why I never used it - no garlic came out the other side, and I now had a dirty, difficult to clean garlic press and no garlic to show for it. Then I would go back to chopping and mincing garlic by hand, as that was easier. I was skeptical that garlic presses could work, as mine looked similar in how it functioned to this press, so wasn't sure what could be so much better. I was also mystified by the mostly favorable, but the occasional very negative review. I went ahead and got it, and could not be happier. It presses garlic with ease, multiple cloves at a time. I have pressed cloves with the skin on, and get reasonable results, but I think you get so much more garlic when you peel them prior to pressing that it's worth it. Cleaning up is so easy. The garlic doesn't stick to the stainless steel, so it rinses clean in a matter of seconds. The press part hinges out and rinsing it under the faucet is usually sufficient to get it clean. I would say it takes one to two minutes to wash thoroughly. It feels very solid and well constructed. I've been using it for three months and am hopeful it will last a very long time. One caveat - I do have large hands for a woman and could see it would be more awkward/difficult to use if I had smaller hands. However, even then I think it would still be worth it because the garlic is so well pressed. I'd rather have to use more force a few times than try to use a less efficient press and not get as much out of the cloves, or (horror) go back to mincing by hand. The press was constructed to work when the force is applied in the right place, and I think it's possible to figure out how to do that no matter the size of your hands.

Use it three or four times a week. Easy to use, easy to clean, crushes the garlic with almost no effort at all. Every garlic lover’s dream!

I've tried a few garlic presses over the years and this is by far the best one. It requires less force than a regular garlic press due to the design using a compound lever, multiplying the force you apply. It makes it very easy to press unpeeled garlic cloves so saves a lot of time and hassle when cooking. The chamber that holds the garlic is also able to come completely out with completely exposed sides, which makes it extremely easy to clean as well. I just remove the garlic skin, then rinse the press under a tap of running water and give it a slight scrub with a brush and then just dry it with a cloth and that's it. It takes like 30 seconds to clean. It also feels very well made and robust, being completely metal and made of stainless steel. The only negative is the price, it is very expensive for a garlic press, but as long as it lasts and is as durable as it seems, then I think it's definitely worth it if you cook a lot and use a lot of garlic. The time it saves and the ease of use just makes it a worthwhile purchase.
