First, the important stuff -Pros:• Really efficient• Gets the most out of garlic• Fool-proof• Easy to clean• Can hold 4/5 cloves at onceCons:• Somewhat garish• Quite chunky• Expensive for a garlic-crusher?Now a bit more depth -I've really enjoyed using this. I love garlic in most of my cooking so I'm often using the crusher or slicing away. My basic garlic crusher is often quite messy - half of the cloves don't get mashed properly; it's difficult to clean etc - I'm sure you're familiar with the problems with garlic crushers.This, however, works on a screw basis (unlike normal levered garlic crushers). So thought it would be interesting to see how it pans (heh) out. I've been impressed with the results.

This is a really clever design. The op part completely unscrews from the bottom half for super easy cleaning. To use you line up the two orange dots (1 on the base "metal squared" part and 1 on the top part with the spiral inside) and just twist and it effortlessly crushes the garlic through the metal mesh. I really like it as I am a death knell to garlic presses - no matter how supposedly robust I always seem to manage to break them. My last solid heavy metal one broke after 6 months when the metal pushing down handle sheared off. I haven't had a crusher for a long time as I think they have all been useless (paint comes off, they shear off, the screws become loose etc.)

So I ordered this without really looking at the reviews, Joseph Joseph products are usually pretty good and I needed a new garlic press as my existing one was terrible.I read some reviews after I ordered it and was slightly put off by some of the bad ones. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, this garlic press is great - definitely the best one I’ve had (and I’ve had a few). You can get a number of garlic cloves in it so you don’t have to operate it as many times as usual if you’re using a lot, which I generally do. Figuring out how to actually use it first time is probably the only down side but when you’ve got it you’ve got it, that’ll only happen once.

Box was open when delivered as another parcel had leaked all over it, driver fully explained and was really helpful on advising what options we had which was quite amazing but it was nothing to affect the product ( wanted to give a shout out to the drivers as some are fantastic like this guy)Anyway back to the product, I looked at some different garlic crushers and liked the idea of this one so gave it a try it is made of sturdy plastic and comes as a two piece when crushing garlic I found there was a tiny sliver of garlic stuck at the bottom in the metal grate which seemed no Biggie but when I rinsed it some garlic still stayed and this is when I realised the metal grate is fused into the

My wife has a love-hate relationship with garlic presses. She loves to hate them.This is mostly because she has arthritis, which means she struggles with the traditional design - she finds she does not have enough wrist strength to use them.When I got this, she was not convinced it would work. To be honest, at first, she hated it, as it is so different to anything else we have used.You untwist it, and the top and bottom parts come apart. You load in the garlic. You then align the two parts; it is a bit like a corkscrew. You twist the two handles towards each other, which then forces the garlic through the metal holes at the bottom.Once she got used to using this, however,

Although this is a robustly constructed garlic press, it is bulkier than alternatives and also requires cloves are peeled before crushing, which adds to the labour process. Having said that, the innovative twist design means that it is easy to crush cloves and produce the most garlic from the process. Crushing multiple cloves at the same time requires more effort than for just one although the corkscrew twist of the handles lightens the load. A little red dot indicates handle positioning and it separates out for easy cleaning, whether by hand or in the dishwasher. So, it works well as a garlic crusher I am just not convinced of the size and thus storage space needed vs using a smaller

I bought the garlic press after having been impressed with the lime/lemon juicer (which I love!). Joseph Joseph did not disappoint with their garlic press. My previous traditional garlic press broke in half while I was trying to squeeze the garlic through (I may have put in 3 cloves when it could really only take 1 at a time). With the Joseph Joseph garlic press, I can easily fit 3-4 cloves no problem. It minces every single bit of the garlic - no more having to pull out flat pieces and chopping by hand like I had to do with my old garlic press. However, you DO still have to scrape some remaining garlic out of the press, which I do easily enough with a small spoon.

The xcrew press is light to use and it is easier and safer than a folding press. I think it would be usable by kids and people with weakness in arms or wrists. It is very sturdy and dishwasher safe.A handy feature is that, with the press empty and closed, you can press the top to burst the garlic clove skin, (see photo) which I've done with a knife up to now. This is better!Not difficult to clean but the basket is deep and there is no spiky press to push the remains out, like some have.It seems to leave more leftovers than others but not much. Very pleased with it. Buy it!

Used as intended as a garlic press. This is much approved on our previous press which was included with a multitude of kitchen apparel.Really easy to use.When cleaning I keep contact with water to a minimum and wash straight away (hand wash) to try and help prolong its life and not cause metal fatigue from keeping in submersed water for prolonged periods.Wife loves it and it’s a necessity as she hates sliced garlic in curries etc.Would recommend.Haven’t used for ginger as I grate that into meals.

I had a metal garlic press that came apart after the second use, and still made it last for years before replacing it. This, with the twisting movement, is so much better. Doesn't require as much strength as the pressing motion, and there are no parts or screws that risk to come unstuck when pressing a clove that is slightly larger than normal. If this ever breaks, I hope the same model is still around as I'd rebuy it over and over again.

What a difference twisting mates compared to the traditional garlic press. The barrel holds a nice amount too. Can get around 5 cloves in at once.However like all garlic presses I've used it does leave a 'husk' in afterwards. I wouldn't listen to those who say everything is removed - I peel the garlic before crushing. But it's a doddle to remove afterwards. Takes a sec literally.

This is a reasonably easy to use garlic press - rotate the top handle through just over 180 degrees anticlockwise, load the press with garlic and then rotate the handle through just over 180 degrees clockwise. The twist action then presses the garlic cloves - simples!It is also fully dishwasher safe and there is not much more that I can say about it.

All garlic presses should work like this one. It works with a twist motion, and really mulches the garlic into a paste. It's easy to clean. It also crushes the entire clove without leaving a husk or chunk of uncrushed garlic, so you don't need to fiddle about removing that flat bit of garlic blocking up the works as with the crusher type presses.

It's been a long time since I was looking for a good garlic press. I tried maybe a dozen different designs, until this one.This is the last garlic press I ever bought, it is super-easy to operate and clean, dishwasher safe, and is super-easy to press the garlic, you basically don't need any muscle power to do that any more.

I am extremely impressed with this product. I have been struggling for a long time with the old style garlic crushers as I no longer have much strength in my grip. This requires no effort at all and was much easier to clean than any other garlic gadget I have tried. Well done Joseph Joseph - yet another brilliant gadget!
