garlic presses

Mincing kitchen tools

Garlic presses are kitchen tools that crush garlic cloves through small holes, producing minced garlic without knife work.

A hinged device with a perforated chamber, the press extracts both pulp and juice while leaving the papery skin behind.

Some cooks prefer them for convenience; others insist hand-minced garlic tastes better.
