OXO Garlic Press

The squeeze action is so smooth and requires very little effort, even with bigger cloves. Cleanup is quick since the garlic doesn't get stuck in the die-cast zinc.

The chamber fits a whole clove without me having to chop it first, and the squeeze motion is so smooth it barely takes any effort. The hole pattern leaves nothing behind but pulp, which is exactly what I want for a quick pasta sauce.

The die-cast zinc body feels reassuringly solid, and the hole pattern really does crush garlic cleanly without leaving chunks behind. It’s much faster than my old press, and clean-up is simpler since nothing gets stuck.
