Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO SteeL Garlic Press, Stainless
Customer Review: What a cool tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
That lady was right, it does have a good heft. It is shiny and easy to clean. It also presses out garlic in a way that I've never experienced before. It's so good I also end up using much more garlic than ever before, and it is fun to use this garlic press. Can't beat it with a stick, it's my favorite gadget. I only wish I gotten one years ago so I could have tasted the difference that freshly pressed garlic truly has. No worries here, no disappointments ahead from choosing this item. It's a very cool tool.Customer Review: not for real use... great brand, just not for this product
Summary: 2 Stars
OXO is a great line and i love most of their products, but this press leaves more in the hopper than it pushes out. Prying the leftovers out and chopping up the remains is almost as much a chore as just doing it from the get go. I own this piece of... equipment and would like to trade it for the trudeau model if anyone is crazy enough to take me up on it. Until it happens maybe i'll just go back to the old chef's knife. Spend your $$$ on other OXO stuff like tongs and can openers, not this useless tool.Customer Review: Wastes garlic + Loose handle + Ridiculously easy to clean = Still a win
Summary: 4 Stars
1) Garlic squirts out the sides--perhaps 10-20% is lost. (The Zyliss is more efficient. Of course, the Zyliss also eventually looses its finish and turns your garlic--and hands--gray from a moment's contact with the aluminum.) But garlic is cheap; I can buy extra.
2) The handle came lose in a matter of weeks. But I can glue it.
3) Garlic just rinses out of the crevices. Sometimes a bit might need a little encouragement, but in general, it's a trivial process.
Conclusion: I dig it.
Customer Review: Hey, this IS a nice one!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading about this well-reviewed press on Amazon, I decided to put it on my wish list, and received it. I have to say, I am impressed, after two recent previous presses with breakable plastic handles or lousy pressing mechanisms, this one gets the job done. A bit heavy, but the stainless steel is what makes it so solid. OK to throw in dishwasher, or otherwise easy to hand clean. Stylish looking, if you are into that sort of thing. Highly recommended, hope this one lasts for years!Customer Review: Really heavy, lots of remnants, and impossible to clean.
Summary: 3 Stars
At first, when I opened this guy, was impressed with the weight of it alone. After I used it, though, there is an awful lot of garlic that doesn't get pushed through the grid, and then using the built-in mechanism to clear it doesn't really do much either. Through the dishwasher after some coaxing, and the thing still didn't come completely clean.
A garlic press seems like it should be painless. I don't want to think about a garlic press for longer than I am actually using it!
