garlic press

Bulb squeezing tool

A garlic press is a handheld kitchen tool that forces garlic cloves through small holes, mincing them quickly without a knife.

The crushed garlic emerges as a paste, releasing more oils and flavor than chopping.

I ran a few cloves through the garlic press for the marinade.
