Norpro, Silver Garlic Press, One Size

I'd had this particular garlic press for years and it was perfect. Unfortunately it met its demise through no fault of its own. I purchased another garlic press that was supposed to be the best garlic press ever. Well, it is very nice and heavy and has extra features.... However, after using it for a month or two it is now sitting in the back of the drawer. I purchased another Norpro garlic press! I am telling you that this press is a little gem. Lightweight, no gadgetry or extra parts, straight to the point garlic press. The only downside that I could possibly find is that you can't put it in the dishwasher but who cares. It takes seconds to wash, a no-brainer! I am a seasoned cook and I highly recommend this garlic press to those who just want to get the job done.

This is an awesome tool! It's lightweight, but strong. The included plastic cleaning stub makes it easy to clean out the gunk in the holes after a squeeze. Negatives are that the metal looks and feels cheap, and it's quite easy too lose the plastic cleaning stub. Overall, a nice product that stops my hands from smelling of garlic!

Tried this press and it worked very well. The bowl can be larger, but then it may require more muscles.This one is made of aluminum, and this may be why instructions said "do not place in dishwasher."No problem place it in dishwasher, except it got a bit dull and slightly discolored.This product is a great value, the best I have found.

I ordered a Norpro 1165 Garlic press at Amazon. When I wanted to order another one, the picture they show looks nothing like the one I received. My account order info does show the picture of the one I got. I just love it. I works so well. I wish I knew what product it is, so I can order another one.

Pop in a peeled clove, press, and snap - minced garlic! The key to this press is the secondary hinge on the part that presses into the perforated cup. The hinge allows the pressing face to remain parallel to perforated face of the cup. Most low-priced garlic presses do not have the secondary hinge and work more like a nutcracker, producing poor mincing and wasting garlic. This is a household level press. It is made of aluminum and the hinge pins are small. Professional use would wear the hinge pins out pretty quick. But it is a great value and timesaver for the family kitchen.

Got my first of these from Marshalls for 4$. The first press that's actually not huge and heavy. I got 1 more for my friend who had hard time finding new press and now I got one for my coworker as well.Tip: don't put in the dishwasher I put mine and it got darker.. I need to try boiling it with baking soda might fix it..

The garlic press I got had curved handles, completely different than shown. Disappointing because I was looking for one just like the picture.

I was hesitant to buy another kitchen gadget, especially since mincing garlic can easily be done with a knife or you can buy the jars of it. I never realized how often I would use this product. I use it all the time and don't even bother buying those little jars anymore. I keep lots of whole garlic cloves on hand and mince them fresh with this press. What a difference fresh garlic makes! I still find myself chopping or slicing for certain recipes but this product has come in handy quite a bit. It's easy to use, easy to clean and the quality is good too.
