The Italian Kitchen Stainless Steel Garlic Press - Heavy Duty Garlic Extruder

I loved the metal garlic press that I have used in the kitchen for years. It had a nice heft to it and the action and balance were smooth. I really thought it was a pretty good tool for its purpose. Then a week ago while pressing a garlic clove the handle just broke. No explanation but it was not stainless but some form of shiny, stainless-looking casting and I guess age and repeated use just caused it to fail. So I bought this one and it has explained to me why this is vastly superior. The balance of the tool is perfect, the handles are not castings of some sort as was my old one and the hinges and pieces of the tool fit together perfectly. I can see this will also clean very easily and so far my impression is of a very high quality tool at a decent price. I am adding to my review because I was asked about cleaning. This press does not come apart for cleaning. Rather it opens to well more than 180 degrees and as in the photos, you can see the three pieces and how easy it will be to clean. Nothing to come apart; no small press part to fall into the disposal. Good design, easy to use and clean! I am thilled. Good thing, too, because I LOVE garlic and use a lot of it! Highly recommended.

Product is well made. It’s stainless steel. I’ve used it and it works so well. You can either peel the garlic or not. It works well either way. It feels like it is well made. Very happy with my purchase.

The Italian Kitchen Stainless Steel Garlic Press is heavy duty and holds a good number of cloves. The press gets stuck after use and requires a little fiddling to be able to clean out garlic skin that remains. But it is a good quality stainless steel and one of the better presses I have owned. Yes, I would recommend this press even though it is a little more expensive and the gadget sticks.

What a lifesaver! I can’t believe I waited this long to buy one. Love garlic but hate chopping it. This garlic press is super sturdy and easy to clean. I expect it to last a long time.

I am so excited over the quality of this garlic press! It is solid stainless and fits my hands. Even with Arthritis, I am able to easily press my garlic cloves. I decided on this garlic press because the previous one I had broke at the hinges. (It was chromed pot metal.) I’m figuring that this stainless steel press will last me years and years.

I have gone through so many garlic presses in the past due to the pressure it takes to squeeze the garlic through the press. This one is durable and effective, however, it is not the easiest to clean due to the additional basket piece that holds the garlic. I really think it could be just as effective with out that piece. I would still recommend this product as I can tell it will not be breaking from the stress of use.

This garlic pressed looks nice and sturdy, made from stainless steel. I haven’t used it yet because I may return it. The top handle of the press has a little piece that won’t stay on, in the picture you can see it, either the stainless steel cap is too big or the black plastic insert is too small. I think it would work well, but I don’t want to use it until I decide if I’m going to return it, and that is the reason for only three stars. I will update it when I do use it.

Good quality good price especially when you shop around. Some of the ones out there are more expensive and not food grade stainless steel. I’m so glad I found this.
