Will this press also handle ginger?

I doubt it very much. I only used mine for garlic and it does a terrible job. It leaves about a third of the clove inside the press. I returned mine. Don't waste your money on this one. An excellent garlic press is the Garject by Dreamfarm. I bought that one and it's great, but I haven't used it with ginger either. good luck

The garlic press is really heavy duty, so it might, but I haven't tried it. Thanks for the idea, will try next time I need minced gingerroot..

I have not personally tried it, but see no reasons why it wouldn't - it is pretty sturdy and strong (I used it to puree walnuts...)

I've only used it for garlic. It is very sturdy though, so I would confidently say yes, it could handle ginger.

Depends of how much ginger you want to grate. I prefer the larger one but this one does the job well.

I don't know why not. This device is just to shape patties. I don't think it would matter what you are shaping. Word of advice: put wax paper on both top and bottom of whatever you are pressing.

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'...

No you cannot, the orange, lemon and grapefruit are the only fruits that you can press with this machine. I have this machine for almost 2 years and I use it regularly pressing the citrus fruits and it works awesome. I hope this help.

No... It works great as a press. I use it to press water out of my herbs. But it won't work on anything that hard.

This is a very heavy press, and since purchasing it, I have used it for making paninis AND as a bacon press. It's perfect for that use. Also, it's very easy to clean. Very satisfied with this purchase and recommend it. Hope this helps.

This press will not work with stiff dough. The pressing mechanism is plastic and aluminum. When I tried to use this with a stiff dough it was clear that pushing hard enough to press out the dough would just break it.

Haven't tried it. I've done big grapefruit and it worked great. My guess it will do it as well or better than any other commercial press

Cloves and nutmeg tend to be damp when ground. Adding a little sugar or flour into the grinder helps make them easier to grind. But you definitely shouldn't try to grind fresh ginger in one of these things. You can get a cheap hand ginger grater at any store that sells Asian cooking supplies.

I can't say for sure. I only use a heat press but the paper works well with it. I would think you can use an iron with it since it seems to be much like any heat transfer paper bought in a store and also the manufacturer includes instructions with the paper for using a hand iron. Hope this helps some.

It depends. If you have a press that has a priming arm, you'll be all set. If not, you'll need to prime off the press.

We have used this for grapefruit, oranges, and lemons with great success. It is more sturdy than other presses and is therefore more durable and reliable. We heartily endorse this press to anyone.

Hi Betsy,I haven't used the EZ Tofu Press for paneer, but I know paneer and I believe it would work great since the consistency of paneer is very similar. I read that the Tofu Xpress works for making paneer, but I also read that a lot of people had issues with parts breaking on the Tofu Xpress and that the company was difficult to deal with. I can't answer those issues, but I can say without hesitation that my EZ Tofu Press works quickly and easily with tofu, and cleans up very quickly. It's also a lot less expensive and I haven't read about it breaking, so for the price and convenience, I would say to give it a try. Good luck!

Generally speaking, presses have the same threads all around. It should work just fine.

Yes..........have owned other presses. The weight of this press, because it is mezquite, makes it easy to use.
