I have been through 6 garlic presses in the past and they had either begun to rust over or have broken.
I saw this item on BBC Food and Drink, it was their favourite garlic press.
The thing that appealed about this was that I wouldn't have to peel the garlic clove before putting it into the press, also there is a little tool with spikes on which sits in the handle and is used to clear out all the residue left inside the press. In the past, washing the residue out of the garlic press was always a job I hated.
Fantastic, I thought, if Anthony Worral Thompson says it's good then I'll give it a go so I ordered one. It was a little pricey, but I was prepared to give it a go as I had already spent a small fortune trying other styles out.
That was about two years ago now and it is still as good as new.
I would certainly recommend one of these to anyone who enjoys cooking with garlic.
