Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef N 20th Anniversary Garlic Press

Customer Review: Good product, with a little care
Summary: 4 Stars

I agree with some of the other posts. It is a good idea, but not entirely foolproof. First, fresh garlic does not last forever - every week or so, toss out unused garlic, clean with at least some hot water, and re-fill with fresh cloves. Second, the comments about odor are correct. However, there are a couple ways to overcome this: One, wipe it off with a paper towel after every use. It only takes a second. Two, store it in a gallon-size ziploc bag in the fridge. It take no more effort and space to do this. If you want to go a step further, put a little baking soda in the bag. These are effortless solutions that take maybe 90% of odors. I also keep it in the egg compartment in the door (since, ironically, it is the worst place to store eggs) as an additional barrier and quick access.
For me, it does not take the place of freshly prepared garlic in nice dishes -- but it works very well for a quick addition of nearly-fresh garlic. I recommend it if you use garlic frequently, or would but for the trouble. If you buy the minced garlic in jars, you'll get your money back in a few months by using this and buy heads of garlic.

Description of Chef N 20th Anniversary Garlic Press

Designer David Holcomb is a confessed garlic connoisseur, and so it should come as no great surprise that this garlic machine functions smoothly to produce a week's worth of garlic (which can be stored right in the machine itself).
