 Kuhn Rikon garlic press September 18, 2007

This is a tribute to globalization. Designed in the USA, manufactured in China, and wears a Swiss cross and logo to justify its steep price.
It is the best garlic press to use and to clean. If you do not mind the price, get it.
Whether it is worth the money is a good question. I go through presses a lot, so depending on how many years it lasts it might be a bargain.

Beautifully crafted, functionally outstanding and easy cleanup. This the last garlic press you'll ever buy and worth every penny!

I enjoy using this garlic press more than any other press I've owned, mainly because it's very easy to clean. As a fairly lazy person, I find that appealing. You just flip out the section that collects the garlic detritus and scrape said detritus into the trash. I usually then put it into the dishwasher on its side with the various parts extended for a more thorough cleaning.
Being lazy, I also appreciate that the Kuhn Rikon press makes efficient use of my admittedly limp application of pressure, pushing right through even large cloves. As for the mince produced, I can't say I've inspected it closely for evenness (that would require extra care and effort).
Lastly, it seems to be quite durable and has no scratchable nonstick finish or other ill-conceived "feature."
As my mother pointed out, I probably could just mince my garlic the old-fashioned way, with a chef's knife, but why? She also doesn't see the need for my rubber garlic peeler. I guess I won't bother to show her my onion goggles...
Really powerful October 9, 2007

This is a great garlic press (although expensive). It is really powerful and certainly does the job. Cons. Like almost all other garlic presses, it is hard to clean and get out the remnants of the garlic skin. I once had a garlic press that came with a little plastic gadget that you put into the holes afterwards (all at once) that got out the skins. With this one you still have to poke them out.
Best garlic press ever owned November 30, 2007

This is one of the best kitchen tool purchases I ever made, though I initially hesitated spending this much money on a garlic press. Cooks Illustrated's top rating was very accurate, and this press is everything I always wished my other garlic presses were. It finely presses the garlic with no squishing out the sides, presses nearly all the garlic put in it with very little residue, is extremely easy to clean as there is no deep well to collect garlic residue, and is hefty but very comfortable to hold. My last press was an Oxo, and though it was also hefty and easy to hold, it pressed poorly in comparison and was difficult to clean. The Kuhn-Rikon is also so sturdy enough to be a lifetime purchase.
