Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO SteeL Garlic Press, Stainless
Customer Review: This is "the one"
Summary: 5 Stars
When it comes to garlic presses, this little guy is Mr. Right.
Granted, it's not easy to find--I looked everywhere to find this at a local store and Amazon was the only one that had this particular Oxo model. From what I understand, other Oxo models just aren't the same.
Since I bought this, I always keep fresh garlic on hand. It's never expensive, always delicious and hey, I guess there are even health benefits to eating it, right? With this garlic press, I don't wind up with stinky, sticky, stained fingers. You don't even have to peel the garlic cloves.
I just put in a clove (sometimes two if they're small), squeeze, clear off the pressed garlic with a table knife and use the same knife to clear out the peel that remains inside the press, dumping it into the garbage or into my garden scraps.
It takes less than a minute to clean it up. I just run hot water over the clove-holder part (inside and out), stick a little dish soap in there and open and shut the cleaner part under running water until it no longer foams from the soap or smells like garlic. Even with cleaning time, I find this much faster than trying to peel and chop the garlic (and clean the stink off my hands).
One word of warning: Don't let garlic residue set in this. My son, who's a great cook, once used it without cleaning it immediately. It took me forever to soak the garlic pieces out of all those little holes. So we, ahem, had a talk and trust me, it never happened again while he lived here. : )
But I'm pretty sure immediate clean-up is required with any garlic press and I figure if someone as housekeeping-challenged as myself can get in the habit, anyone can. This tool is definitely worth it. We recently rented a house while on vacation and found out how awful other garlic presses are in comparison to this one.
From what I've read there are some garlic presses that others consider superior to this one, it sounds like perhaps they push through a bit more garlic. From what I've seen, they're also twice the price.
I think this Oxo garlic press is fabulous, one of the few kitchen gadgets that actually earn a place in my storage drawer. I actually bought three more for gifts and plan to send another to my son, who now lives out of state. Now that he knows the necessity of speedy clean-up, I'm guessing he'll appreciate it.
Description of OXO SteeL Garlic Press, Stainless
The OXO Steel Garlic Press combines the durability of zinc with the sleek elegance of stainless steel. The large capacity garlic chamber accommodates several garlic cloves and the built in plastic cleaner efficiently removes garlic reside. Soft, non-slip grips provide cushioning when pressing garlicPick up this garlic press and you?ll instantly recognize its superior quality?it?s heavy and solid, yet beautifully balanced. An elegant combination of zinc and stainless steel with black cushioning insets on the handles add up to a work of art. Several cloves of garlic can be pressed at once; then, swing the handle around on the smooth-as-butter hinge and forty durable plastic teeth push out the pulpy residue. While dishwasher-safe, the press can also be quickly hand-cleaned with a soapy brush. You?ll never want another garlic crusher after using this one. --Ann Bieri
