There were some larger uneven chunks, so keep that in mind. Although this roller is efficient at mincing, it does not produce very uniform results. With the blades vertically aligned (faint impressions on the clear plastic show the placement), the roller base pops out so that you can tap it again to remove the remaining bits. We liked how gently tapping the chopper against a countertop drops almost all of the garlic on the hinged doors, where it’s easy to scrape out with a spoon and avoid brushing your fingers against the blades. Even better, leafy herbs like mint can be tossed in and chopped as well. The more rolling, the more finely the garlic is chopped. Testing found how comfortable and nice it felt to do this rolling motion, thanks to the soft ergonomic design. It operates by rolling the wheels back and forth on your work surface, and since the blades are completely enclosed during use, kids can use this to help with cooking. This has spinning blades that chop and mince the garlic. This is the fourth generation of this design, so improvements have been made over the original, making it even better at mincing garlic evenly. The twisting produces a very crushed and fine mince that is borderline paste texture-wise. While we don't recommend it for herbs, which it tended to rip apart and crush, we found it made neat work of garlic and peanuts. The Garlic Twist can be used for peeled shallots, small peppers, and more. While testing, we needed a little practice to get the minced garlic to gather into neat triangles free of the cutting teeth it was easiest to do this with two or more cloves in the device. Since the vessel is clear, you can see how coarse or fine the garlic is without opening it. You simply place peeled garlic (or nuts or herbs) in the bowl, put the top on, and twist to grind and mince the garlic as much as you like. This model, made entirely from clear polycarbonate, uses a twisting action. Whether you're a kitchen novice or a frequent cook who wants to speed up prep time, this press is a solid and reliable choice. The press mostly turned ginger to juice and jammed up the chamber with peanut solids, so it’s best reserved for garlic cloves. The manufacturer says this press is capable of crushing ginger and nuts as well, but we were disappointed with these results. However, we also found that the hinge was easy to move and push together without cramping or exerting our hands. We found that inserting one clove at a time and rolling the tube on the counter removed the peels with a few motions, but noted that it may get tiring to peel a whole bulb's worth of garlic this way. The handles are designed for comfort, making it easy to squeeze, and when it’s time for cleaning, the press is dishwasher-safe.įor testing, we tried pressing peeled cloves, prepping them with the included peeler tube. The Alpha Grillers garlic press is made from heavy-duty stainless steel, so it’s strong enough to crush unpeeled garlic and won’t stain, rust, or retain odors. As a bonus, the stainless steel helped remove the garlic scent as we cleaned the press. This stainless steel tool is dishwasher-safe, but we found it easy to hand wash. The press also worked great with ginger during testing, only leaving a small amount of fibers behind. The large square holes produced a mince more typical of knife-cut garlic, but repeating the process gives a finer mince with the same high yield. We liked this press for peeled garlic and even oversized unpeeled cloves. Then, just scoop the garlic out to use in recipes. All you need to do is put a garlic clove on your work surface, place the press on top, and while applying a little pressure, rock it back and forth to squeeze the garlic through the holes. Unlike a standard garlic press, this garlic rocker doesn’t have any moving parts, which makes it ideal for folks who may struggle with squeezing a press (it also requires less storage space).
