Joseph Joseph CleanForce Garlic Press Ginger Crusher Mincer with powerful, Easy Squeeze and Clean, 16, Green

Great garlic crusher, very easy to use and clean, powerful handles make crushing effortless, large capacity so you can crush two at a time, really good quality, a bit more expensive than others but the quality shines through.

Over the 50+ years of my life (so far) I've owned all manner of garlic crushing contraptions. Yes, I know how to finely chop the stuff using a knife, but some recipes really do benefit from having crushing the stuff.Until recently, I've been using another Joseph Joseph garlic crusher:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joseph-Garlic-Crusher-Dishwasher-Stainless-dp-B01ATV4O2O/dp/B01ATV4O2O/ref=dp_ob_title_kitchenLooks nice and shiny in the photos but, after prolonged use, specifically, cleaning the clogged holes, that shiny surface has peeled off the grille. Also, the fact it gets so badly coughed means the user either:A) wastes lots of their garlic by washing it down the sink during cleaningB) needs to spend ages pushing chunks the garlic through the clogged holes to salvage itThe model on this page uses both the front wiper mechanism and, brilliantly, has a small brush-like device stored in the handle. The stiff brush spikes align perfectly with the (clogged) holes on this device, one quick press, all those clogged pieces are pushed free. Turn that little brush-thingy around and the other (slightly curved) end can be used to scoop those little pieces out, extracting close to 100% of each piece of garlic you press. Magic.The handles seem sturdy without being overly bulky (at least, it fits my hand well), plenty of leverage to crush the garlic without feeling any strain. Aside from the messy the garlic is pressed through, the rest of this device is plastic. I believe it's dishwasher safe, but because cleaning any clogged pieces is so easy, I've found a quick rinse is so this needs.I cook almost every day, so I'm this is seeing as much use as it would get in any domestic setting. With all that in mind, I can't recommend this item highly enough, it's worth the little extra above the basic all-metal models.

Although I like to use garlic in my cooking I can't stand actually preparing garlic and dealing with the lingering smell on my fingers. This led me to look at alternative garlic presses which allowed me to minimise the amount of physical contact I had to have with the garlic.With this press I can use it without having to peel the garlic first, which saves a whole load of time, however you probably lose a tiny bit of garlic by not peeling it first. To be honest, it's that small an amount that i'm willing to live with that.After crushing the garlic the little lever does a great job of scraping the crushed garlic. To remove any waste from inside after you have finished using the press you can use the little spatula tool that is built into it to scrape out any waste straight into the bin. You can also use the same tool to quickly clear the metal press plate of any bit's of garlic, although whenever i've used the press i've not had to do that since a quick rinse under the tap cleans the whole press very quickly.There was another press that I almost purchased that actually ejected the waste for you but that was almost twice the price. Overall I am very happy with this press and I do like the style and build quality of the Joseph Joseph range.Highly recommended.

The best garlic press I have ever owned! I bought this to replace my very old stainless steel one so wanted one that would last a long time. This looks to be it. It's sturdy and does the job with ease. I peel my cloves before pressing them which means that I can use it all and the skins don't get caught up in the cavity or anywhere else making it an easier job to clean. You can fit many cloves in at once and the little clearance lever works really well. After clearing out the residue using the handy little tool, I just simply rinsed under fast running water and it was as clean as a whistle again ready for it's next use. I cook a lot with garlic and this feels as though it will stand the test of time, money well spent.

Garlic press that looks like it will last! Easy to use and clean

I’ve had several garlic presses over the years and the design of this one is the best. Squeezing the garlic press is very easy, even for me who has arthritis in my hands and find gripping things difficult. Then the ‘eyelid’ feature that brushes the squeezed garlic down and into your dish/pan is genius. The cherry on the (garlic!) cake is the grater cleaner stored inside the handle, which saves getting a knife out to scrape the skin from the inside of the grater. The whole thing washes easily under the tap (haven’t tried it in the dishwasher as it is so easy to just clean it as you are going along). Really pleased with it. Have bought one for my daughter, too. Highly recommend.

This is hands down one of the best garlic presses I've ever owned. It's super easy to use and can fit a fair amount of garlic in it.It's cleaning processes is decent too, having a tool to get into the slits is perfect and it's stored within the garlic press itself.
