Easy to use … easy to clean

I love the quality of mannkitchen products and this garlic press is no exception. It feels heavy duty and feels like it will last a very long time. It also performs very well. Highly recommended.

The vast majority of time we're cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients. We just thought we had an awesome garlic press before getting this one. As good as the other was, this is leaps and bounds easier to use and clean. The only let-down was the claim it's "Built from Solid 304 Stainless Steel". It's clearly made from sheet metal. Being a machinist, I find the word "solid" to be misleading. "Solidly built from 304 Stainless Steel sheet metal" would be a more accurate statement. We have 2 of your Pepper Cannons and 1 Salt Cannon. Those are manufactured from solid aluminum, and impressively so. I did get over the psychological let-down, however, after using it. LOL! :) I would highly recommend.

...because they just smashed the garlic into mats, and then the press was annoyingly difficult to clean. I found it easier to mince the cloves by hand, with no waste and cleaner results. This press does squinch out most all of the bulb because the screen has large enough holes to create a nice plentiful pulp, and the unit flies open into an easily accessible, cleanable mode. Cool. I also like that I can place 2-3 cloves into the press, and the powerful levered handles make it easy to do a satisfyingly full crush. I will add this press to my kitchen tool kit!

Best garlic press I've owned. This design solves the two main issues with garlic presses - the force needed to press multiple cloves and cleaning the press. Little hand force is required to compress multiple cloves in this design. In addition the ability to swing out the grate makes cleaning very easy. Build quality looks great and it has a nice solid heft. Well worth the money.
