Can anyone recommend a decent garlic press?

Mine is cheap and shit.

The Joseph Joseph one. Bought it after a recommendation on here - it's great and easy to wash

Have you tried a garlic rocker? Mine was a game changer

The ones from IKEA are amazing….the round ones. They are super strong and don’t rust or break. Dishwasher proof too"

Was just about to recommend this one! It comes apart and you can clean it so easily.

I’ve had this one for years www.lakeland.co.uk/16640/Zyliss-Garlic-Press

We use a garlic grater plate. Bought one at a craft market once and haven’t used a garlic press since!

The presser bit comes off and you can use it to scrape the garlic off. (The picture probably explains it better)

I switched to the jars of pre-crushed garlic after many people recommending it and I have to say I'd never go back to crushing my own

I'm a pre-crusher buyer too, only use fresh if I need whole cloves.

The IKEA ones definitely I'd swear by

You need a garlic twist.

What's a garlic twist, Schaden?

I just grate on a microplane now

@Mrgrinch Same! I always said it was the height of laziness, wouldn't taste the same etc

We use a twist, this one: garlictwist.co.uk/

I use a potato peeler

Ditto for cheese

OXO good grips are really good. It reverses and presses the remains out so it's easy to clean. The IKEA one is a bit hard to clean if it's dried a bit

I recommend buying frozen crushed garlic. No preparation required and it's massively cheaper than fresh garlic. Something like this

Definitely this. And easier to clean than a regular crusher.

Garlic twist is the best I've found (but not the cheaper substitutes)

I also have this and find it hard to get the crushed garlic out. Any tips?

I buy the crushed garlic in a jar, it doesn't taste the same. Haven't tried frozen!

Garlic twist. I've had mine for years and would never go back.

This type of thing

Oh wait! That was a ridiculous priced one, Amazon do them for around £15.

I have one of these….
