Is there anything worse than your fingers smelling like garlic? Listen, I LOVE the stuff and overuse it in almost every recipe, and the scent of it cooking on the stove is glorious... but on your fingers for sometimes days afterwards? No. However, I've never had great experiences with garlic presses, therefore I usually prefer to chop the stuff myself. That was the case until recently, when the people at Alpha Grillers (a company that manufactures high-quality kitchen tools available at Amazon) sent me a press and peeler set to review. First of all, I had never used a peeler before and this one was refreshingly easy. Just stick the clove into the tube and firmly roll it around with the palm of your hand and voila! The peel falls off. No smelly fingers yet. Now onto the press, which you can tell is high-quality by the feel of it in your hand. I've encountered so many presses that sort of fall apart when you open them. Not this one, and look at how much fresh, juicy garlic you're left with...
The only thing left inside the press is a very thin layer of peel. I will never try another method again!
