Can you press unpeeled garlic in this press?

Yes!! It is wonderful & so easy to use & clean!! It was recommended to me & I love it!!

You sure can! That is one fantastic aspect of the thing. Granted, you need to rinse the peel out, but it makes things a lot easier.

yes you can. Personally though I prefer to peel the cloves. Either way it works wonderfully.

I guess you could, but no press works very well that way--the skin clogs the holes.

I do because I wash everything, even my peeled garlic clove, but it says you can still press the garlic without peeling but I wouldn't - even if it wereorganic.

I have been using this garlic press over two months, and I can tell it is very well built. I do not see how it will break.

Yes if you do not put more than 1 large clove in at a time otherwise the handles are pretty far apart. I love this press because it is very well made and very easy to clean unlike others I have had. It also seems to waste less garlic.

Yes, I peel it first...otherwise I think the peel would get mashed up with the minced garlic. I really like mine & have bought it for others!

No Teflon it's the same stainless metal all the way through! The best garlic press I ve ever owned. Heavy and very well made.

Hi Jeff, There is no "pull out sleeve" per say as a separate piece however what may be better is that the part where the garlic actually gets "pressed through - where the holes are" pivots out so you have basically 3 individual pieces: the upper grip (where you press down), the inner piece with the holes and then the lower grip. What's really nice about this garlic press is that when you pivot the inner piece up (for cleaning purposes) it's much easier and quicker to clean! One last thing - when using the press, it's not uncommon for some of the garlic to squeeze into other places other than where you are pressing it into soooo by being able to open all three pieces up I'm able to get all the garlic out before cleaning. Hope this helps you. I know it's somewhat pricey but after buy soooo many types of garlic presses over the last 30+ years, this is one I don't see myself needing to replace. Take care!

I have the beginning of arthritis in my hands but find this much easier to use than other presses...the handles are more ergonomic, and don't hurt my hands. I can even press garlic cloves without peeling them, but I use 2 hands for that....but it's a time saver.

No you can't, you need a priming tool. Or if you get a Lee press, it comes with it.

I am pretty sure you can't. I always use it though and it works great. If you don't press on the steaming button while you iron steam won't come out but it's addictive and now I can't iron without pressing on the steam button anyway. :).

Haven't tried garlic but I don't see why not. I tried beets, carrots, leafy greens, ginger, Apple, celery, fennel, etc and they worked great. Yield is pretty good. My husband and I are very happy with this model.

Not that I am aware of. I think it is pressed in. I have tried a couple of times to remove it to see if it was possible, and I was not successful......

I have small hands as well -- also 66-year old hands. I know what you mean abut how difficult other garlic presses can be to use but this press works just great or me.

Yes, but only if you squeeze 1 cove, or smaller pieces at a time. When you load it with a lot of garlic, you lose some leverage. I have no problem, but if you hands are smaller you might.

I am sorry I can not to answer your question because I bougth this product to use on a press machine

Yes it is. It is somewhat heavy but I don't have hand strength and I can use it easily. It is so much better than any other one I have used. Put unpeeled clove in, close and out the garlic comes...open, peel out the peel and continue on. I highly recommend it.
