This is my favorite garlic press - no peel
349163
This is my favorite garlic press - no peel, handles large cloves, doesn't require he-man pressure, garlic is finely minced and very easy to clean. My only issue is the attached cleaner - once removed from the handle, it doesn't want to stay in place so I keep it in the drawer. But an extremely minor issue because it's so easy to clean, I never even use the cleaning tool.

I had an old Susi that lasted about 15 years that I liked a lot except large cloves didn't fit. I tried the Trudeau (didn't like at all) and have used the Kuhn Rikon (OK, but a bit inconvenient and tedious to clean) for a few years. - finally tired of it. Went back to the Zyliss and it's much improved. Great device!

I've tried so many garlic presses over the years (I cook frequently). I thought I had found the best and then I tried this one at a friends house and was sold.  It holds lots of garlic per press and cleans the easiest of any I've used.  Only downside is when filling it over a pan can be tricky as the handle doesn't stop and will flop all the way open which can be a problem.  I find I can rest it on the side of the pot while I refill the chamber which works fine.

Really nice piece to add to a busy kitchen. You don't have to peel the garlic if you don't want to. Although it does work out a little better to peel it first. Sturdy. I chose this model over some of the other imported premium garlic presses because it seemed easiest to clean. t flips open in 3 distinct pieces so you can get right in there and clean the garlic out under running water. if mine broke, I'd replace it immediately.

I love garlic and cook with it all the time. This press saves so much prep time with its sturdy and smooth press action. It accommodates multiple cloves at once, and is easy to clean afterward. I really enjoy using this press and I turn to it again and again when cooking with garlic.

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.

I love this garlic press. I had one and let my son's fiancee use it and she loved it too. I have problems with hand strength and this press doesn't make me see someone else to squeeze the garlic cloves in it. The garlic comes out the tiny holes a life nicely cuts it away and the "skin" is left inside for easy removal.

This garlic press is the bomb! I love that it has some weight in it, the rubber hand grips on the ends, and that it gets it done in one squeeze. If you are wondering, the way it is first pictured is how it is stored and is in the open position, ready to receive the garlic. It is easy peasy to use, it isn't plastic junk and cleans up great. RECOMMEND!!!

This is a fabulous tool - how did I cook without it! Had the OXO version and only used it a couple of times - it was awful but I thought that was just the nature of all garlic presses. Then after many years saw a friend using this garlic press and "aha!" - the light bulb came on, it was the brand that was the problem. This Zyliss press works really well, easily presses out the garlic leaving only the skin and cleans up easily. Dump any other brand you have and buy this one, you won't be disappointed.

I'm in love... with a GARLIC PRESS! This is the best I've ever used. Solid Stainless Steel, great design with removable cylinder, I use with frozen cloves (buy the big peeled bags at Costco) and this works flawlessly. Think I may buy a lot of these as Christmas gifts!

The garlic peeler is super easy to use- and a lot less time consuming. This durable press is made of stainless steel and comes with a brush and a garlic cleaning tube  It is also very heavy duty and it feels like it will last forever. This press is sturdy an solid. It's slightly larger than any other garlic press I had verified before. This tool is easy to clean; when you open it the garlic holder rotates out for easy cleaning.

This press is amazing...lots of leverage, looks great, heavy durable construction, and it cleans so simple it is effortless.  I have used many presses in the past but none work so well as this one.  Not sure about the other reviewers....never thought you were supposed to try to press garlic before peeling.  I have never put mine in the dishwasher as it cleans so easily it isn't necessary.  BUY IT!

Great garlic press that feels sturdy and high quality. Only used it a couple times but so far it works perfectly. I also like the tube to take the skin off the cloves. Keeps my fingers from getting the garlic smell after hand-peeling cloves.

Nice press.  Works on big, or multiple smaller, cloves.  It feels good in the hand and is sturdy. The plastic cleaner fits nicely in the handle which is convenient.  It's not the easiest thing to clean because the plastic cleaner's teeth bend and don't push through the holes in the press unless you are EXTREMELY careful.  I am extremely careful and they often bend anyway.  I usually end up using a toothpick.  Never the less, this is the best garlic press I have ever used.

I love the garlic press. This is my first experience with one, so I can't compare it to others, but it is definitely far easier than mincing the garlic with a knife. I do peel the garlic first, using the little black tube, which works like magic. The press then does a quick job on the garlic and only requires a final scoop-out of any bits left inside the press. Not difficult at all. Also, the cleaning is super easy. I clean it right away after I use it. I imagine that the people who had trouble with stuff sticking in the holes did not clean it until later, after the garlic pieces had dried up. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase and use the press pretty much every day. Thank you!

This is a very sturdy garlic press.  I received it about two weeks ago and have been using it almost daily since then, I love cooking with garlic and this is such a time saver!  By far this is the best garlic press I have ever owned. I am very pleased with it, It  makes my cooking time more enjoyable.  It is very easy to use,  handle is very comfortable, you do not need to press hard which is perfect if you have arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome like my mom who was surprised the first time she used this garlic press.  It is also easy to clean, it comes with two brushes to clean the holes.  I really liked the packaging it came in, it looks more expensive than what it is. I am very satisfied with this product and highly recommend if someone is looking a heavy duty garlic press.

This garlic press is superb. I have had many garlic presses over a lifetime of cooking. I am now an ex-pat living in Costa Rica, where I needed a replacement - garlic is a daily staple in cooking here. I also do not want to be replacing kitchen tools constantly.  Strangely, after looking hard & wide in Costa Rica, then again in specialty and gourmet kitchen stores on my trips back to the U.S., I could not find a solid press that compared to the quality of the ones I used to have. My search became quite an odyssey. After reading reviews, I finally decided to take a gamble by buying one on-line that I had not seen and held myself, from a maker with whom I was not familiar. It really paid off! This Alpha Grill press is flawlessly crafted and balanced, heavy duty, works smoothly (and I have small hands), minces thoroughly, and cleans easily, I have used it daily and it works and looks as though new. It came very nicely packaged in a quality box that would make it a lovely presentation gift for a housewarming, kitchen or bridal shower, or as a hostess gift.
