Manufacturer's Description
The new, improved OXO Good Grips Garlic Press is now even stronger than ever. With sturdy, die-cast zinc construction and a large capacity garlic chamber, the Garlic Press crushes garlic with a simple squeeze. A built-in cleaner allows for easy cleaning; just flip the handles over to clean out excess garlic. The soft handles are slightly arched for comfort and absorb pressure while you squeeze.
Customer Reviews
Of no use to man or beast
This press is unsuitable for any purpose. Specifically, it cannot actually press a clove of garlic -- the majority escapes around the edges of the press head. I threw mine away, and you will as well, should you foolishly buy one.
seductive, but deceptively fragile
I too was initially impressed with the garlic press, but was irritated by the need to remove the plastic grip of the handle to avoid stinky water seepage in the utensil drawer! This is a problem with all the Good Grips utensils I've come across (and what are the odds you'll eventually lose the odd grip?). And my press also snapped after a few months of use; that's what you get for using cheap, fragile metal. Of course this leaves you with a couple of spare grips for when you lose those off your other Good Grips utensils .....
Don't buy it - it's badly made.
This works very well as a garlic press, and it's chunky and initially seems robust. However, very quickly the plastic grip covers come unstuck, making it trouble to wash. You have to remove them and dry them separately. Otherwise you'll have some mouldy old sink water splashing over your garlic creation when you least suspect it.
Worse still, after about a year and a half of moderate use, the lever part broke completely, splitting it in half and rendering it unusable. I wonder how long Delia's lasted?
