Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press

Easy to use, Easy to clean, best I have ever owned. Buy it, don't hesitate, don't overthink it. My 80 year old Mom can use it.

at last, a product that surpasses my expectations. I splurged for this after reading a recommendation in Cooks Illustrated. In the past 50 years I've been cooking, I've wasted so much money on garlic shredders/mincers etc. that don't' work or so messy to clean they've not worth the effort. But this really does work and is a snap to use and clean. Just go for it and buy it--in the long run you will save money.

This press looks and acts the part. Solid construction ensures longevity and reliability. The press is tough enough to take on other harder roots like ginger as well. Pressing garlic is a cinch with this but although pressing ginger requires a bit more effort, this press handles it quite well too.

The pressing surface is fully openable to enable quick and easy cleaning. The all steel construction makes for faster cleaning compared to some of its competitors which have plastic parts.

The large and curved grip makes it comfortable on the hands, and allows more surface area of your palm to be in contact to spread out the pressure.

I would give it 5 stars if not for the price, which I think is a bit on the high side, but I guess you do get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

I cook a great deal and am a big fan of America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated.

They recommended this garlic press, so I thought I'd give it a try even though it is expensive.

This press works as advertised and is extremely easy to clean. The garlic is uniform and makes the food taste better due to the uniform size.

The weight of the press makes it very easy to use - would strong recommend this item.

We got this garlic press after seeing the equipment review on America's Test Kitchen. High quality, easy to use and clean. The best one we've tried.
