I cook all the time. Not only do I prepare all of our meals from scratch due to family diet issues, but I have a large, organic garden and I preserve food from it all the time. I love food with flavor so I use lots of peppers, onions, ginger and garlic! I have worn out several garlic presses in my lifetime. The last one literally broke when I tried to press ginger into some water kefir. Tired of cheap crap, I got decided to find a quality garlic press. Noting the life time guarantee, I purchased the Alpha Grillers Garlic Press and Peeler Set about a year and a half ago and have been using it just about daily ever since for both garlic and ginger. It is fantastic!WHAT IS IN THE BOX: Beautifully presented in a lovely gift box, I received both the stainless steel garlic press plus a silicone tube garlic peeler.WHAT I LIKE: I have been using this garlic press for a year and a half and it looks as nice today as it did when I bought it. It shows absolutely no signs of wear.This press feels solid and durable in my hand. Use has proven it so.The stainless steel construction allows me to wash this in the dishwasher and I do. Every time I use it.The silicone garlic peeler is much nicer than I expected. Every year I make a couple of gallons of homemade salsa and peeling the garlic took forever in the past. I started using the silicone peeler for my garlic and it revolutionized my garlic peeling process. It works fast!Because I am no longer replacing my garlic press every couple of years, I will save money.This press works for ginger as well as garlic. I have used it with ginger a few times and there isn’t the slightest bulge or bow where the garlic/ginger comes out.I am normally wary of rounded handles like this because they can hold water when washed. I have NEVER had any water issues with this press.WHAT I DON’T LIKE: I love this garlic press. There is nothing I do not like.PICTURES: I am including various pictures of the press in my hand for a size reference. I have small hands. I also have a picture of the part that extrudes the garlic. It shows no signs of wear after a year and a half of constant use.I purchased the Alpha Grillers Garlic Press and Peeler Set at FULL PRICE. I love this set and highly recommend it. It definitely deserves 5 stars!

I love this amazing garlic press! It is the best press I have ever owned. It seriously squeezes even large cloves through like butter. It is solid in construction and super good quality. It is easy to clean and use. Both myself and husband are so impressed we are never buying pre minced garlic again. It also comes with a garlic peeler. Where has that thing been all my life? It worked so nicely it was a great surprise to me. I had never used one like it before but it took the skins off cloves in seconds and then they were all ready to use in my new press. Let me tell you, fresh pressed garlic is sooo much better then jarred and so much finer then chopped. I love the Alpha Grillers Garlic Press so much I am giving it 5 stars and if I could give it more I would

I bought this to squeeze juice from ginger root, which is very tough and fibrous, so I wasn't sure if it would work. It works like a charm! From the initial opening of the package to the final cleaning of the residue, here are the things I particularly liked about this "garlic" press:1) It's well packaged--both attractive and practical.2) The materials are quality. Not only is the press well designed and manufactured--very sturdy--but the hinged parts move easily.3) It has great leverage and it works! I'm fairly strong, but my hands are a little arthritic, so it's not like I can apply the oomph of a blacksmith to make this work, especially with something as resistant as ginger root. Applying the strength that I have, the ginger root juiced right out. A little surprised, somewhat amazed, and very pleased.4) Then there's the cleaning, which is usually a big ick for such things--especially with the ginger root fibers wedged through the little holes. It took a bit of application, but rinsing and using the little brush provided, the press clean up nicely.YAY! I love it when things work! (If you have found my review helpful, I'd really appreciate if you would click the "Helpful" button. Thanks so much for reading! Liz)

I have to admit that I was opposed to using a garlic press; but, mincing garlic with a knife is a real chore - garlic pieces stick to the knife blade (even when you oil the blade). So I decided to try one. Well this thing works great. I know it crushes the garlic, but if your recipe calls for minced, then you want all that garlic flavor anyway. You will need to clean the press head after each clove but that can be done easily with a knife tip. It does leave behind a good bit of the smashed garlic clove, so I usually add an additional clove if more than 4 cloves are required. Now for the peeler. My first thought was to just throw it away since I don't have much of problem peeling garlic and this thing looks like it won't work. I decided to try it and it works really well - it just takes a little practice to control your hand pressure. Finally, the price of this set is VERY reasonable - I would recommend this to anyone.

Initially, when I first used it, I was confused because not a lot of garlic was coming out when I pressed a single clove... but then I realized that this little machine is for making alot of minced garlic. I recommend using the peeler they give you, otherwise you won't get too many Garlic cloves through before you have to dump out the peels. But if you continually use a new peeled garlic clove, the next clove, will help push out what remained from the first garlic clove, So once you're done mincing all your garlic you have a net waste of only 1/2 of a garlic clove. Its actually a pretty good system. You don't have to push very hard. I also tried it with Ginger and it works pretty well... I've never used one of these before, so I can't really compare it to other garlic presses, but It was made out of a good quality metal, and there wasn't any spray backwards when I pressed. (This was initially a concern for me, particularly for the ginger). The peeler was really cool. You just stick a clove in there, and you press it with your palm and roll it around, and in less than a second the thing is peeled. The peels stick to the internal walls of the peeler through their own static charge, and then you just smack it over your trash can to make them all fall out.

This is one of those products that makes you wonder why you waited so long to buy one. Maybe you just never bought one after moving out of your parents house or maybe yours broke at some point along the way and you just never replaced it. But it's amazing!It's very simple to use. The peeler can consistently peel about 2 cloves at a time. The press really varies on how much you can do at one time - I've been able to fit 1-3 cloves at a time. Both pieces are very easy to clean.Overall, I really love how much easier this product makes my life. Definitely recommend for everyone from the occasional garlic eater to the home chef who uses garlic several times a week!

So I was looking for a sturdy garlic press. My last one broke in my hand (it was a gift). The press was as sturdy as I could have wished for. Packaged arrived promptly and in good condition. They have some other products I've purchased looking for sturdy equipment and was pleased with that transaction as well.I've used this a few times and am pleased with the press. I thought the handle would be slicker than it was since there is no real etching or any other type of grip but as long as I don't have greasy hands, no problem. I didn't buy the set for the garlic peeler, don't know that I'll ever use it. . I basically grab my knife and press the garlic with the side of it and peel it, but people with Cerebral Palsy and other types of disabilities have trouble with things like this I take for granted, so it was nice to see that it was basically included as a freebie with the press.
