How well does it work with ginger. I use ginger just as often as garlic

The Propresser Garlic Press works on ginger beautifully peeled OR with the skin on especially on those "little fingers" that can seem too much trouble to peel the skin off first. Simply cut in quarter to half inch slices that fit the basket and press. One recommendation, however, if you need more than one or two tablespoons of pressed ginger, peel the large pieces of ginger before pressing to speed up the process. Saves on cleaning out the ginger skins. For most work, however, you won't need to peel at all. Terrific tool!!!

Hi Mit, I thought it did a great job with the ginger. I cut a piece of ginger and got most of the skin off first and then put it in my press and it was very easy to squeeze out. I was pretty impressed. It really is a heavy duty and strong press.

It, like almost all garlic presses, will squeeze much of the juice from ginger, but none actually cut up the extremely tough fibrous body of the ginger - a process that requires one to chop the fibrous body in order to get a truly chopped quality rather simply than a coin sized 'slug'...

i dont know exactly because i have never tried it with ginger. i think ginger is a root and it will be a little bit too hard to press. but who knows may be if you cut it in small enough pieces and press hard enough it will work.

I have only used it for fresh herbs and it is AWESOME! I can't imagine why it wouldn't work as well on spices.Be REALLY careful using and cleaning this as the blades are extremely sharp. That is why this works so wonderfully though.

Unit does not peel the garlic. If you put the gloves with the skins on, you will have a mess and need to seperate the garlic pieces from the now confetti sized peelings. NOT RECOMMNDED.The blades are plastic and not steel. Therefore you do not get mince-you get crushed mush of garlic. It would be BEST to describe the final grated garlic as have been "grated" rather than minced. I'm sorry I bought this- I remember the forerunner model which had "steel" blades which truly minced; this is another junk product for the public; I've gone back to using my knife to to do the job until someone does this the right way.

I grind red pepper flakes, brown sugar, spices and salt in it to make a rub and it does a great job. Turns it all into a garlic powder consistancy which is what i want.

I've had mine about 2 yrs and just recently threw it away, it would no longer shred the garlic. Maybe use it twice a wk, wasrather surprised that it didn't last longer. I always handwashed and then it hung on a magnetic knife block. For me personally, I won't purchase another.

I love the ginger snap! It's definitely one of my favorites. I agree that the ginger, cinnamon and cloves give it a nice amount of spice. I have not yet tried the carrot cake.

Interesting idea!I don't see why not - of course, the hopper may not accommodate larger pieces of ginger, so you may need to cut the ginger to fit - but the Zyliss slicer is quite sharp and does a very nice job on garlic - the slices are thin and uniform.My wife is more of a ginger fan, so she may want to give it a go.Good luck - and enjoy!

I have a garlic twister that I got on Amazon.com it is wonderful and you do not have to chop garlic.

I haven't tried it but I think it would work. The blades are very sharp so could dice garlic. I would cut clove in half or quarter if very large. Great tool.

Hi Josette. I have not had a problem with the garlic tasting the same when I open it and the bottom of the jar. It is so good. Before purchasing it from Amazon, I was running from store to store and no one carried it and I was frantic because it is so good. I hope this answers your question.

Definitely! I actually put the ginger through first while the basket is clean. I actually obtain a nice amount of ginger juice from an inch cube or so of fresh ginger root. I also juice beets & turnips. I get ALOT of juice from both. Go easy on the beets. They have a very strong flavor that will overpower the taste of your other veggies. Happy Juicing! Hope this helps.

It doesn't smell like garlic and I haven't noticed a garlic taste. But I do take it with some other supplements. And I do take it daily. Hope this helps

Just garlic extract, faint flavor, not the robust flavorful one that you expect. You may want to try a different brand.

I actually think it would work if you did a relatively coarsley chopped herbs/onion mixture. After all, in my opinion you want the flavor from the herbs, not the herbs themselves.

Yes. I chopped a bunch of ginger root last night with it, in fact. First couple strokes take some muscle, of course.

Yes it works like a charm - the more you chop the finer it gets -I made paste out of my garlic with all the chopping I did

I personally have not used organic ginger root, to the best of my recollection, however, I have used this product for many years and it works great!
