Behind the Knife - tools, food, and the secret lives of chefs

Yes! We use tons of garlic, it makes life easier.

I’ve never used one but I’m willind to try. I usually grate on a plane or mince.

If i need to crush garlic i usually use a knife or even the mallet. I don’t know if I would go out of my way to obtain one of these, but I would certainly use it if I had one.

I go through about 3 to 4 heads a garlic a month. I have to say no, I don’t use one, but that is only because I don’t have one. If I had a garlic press I would sure use it.

YES! I go through 2-3 heads of garlic a WEEK. but I hate unevenly chopped/crushed garlic chunks and I don’t have the knife skills to get them even and small in a reasonable amount of time. A garlic press is the perfect solution. I keep a head-worth of garlic peeled in a jar in the fridge, grab as many cloves as I want and press away, often directly into a hot pan.

I would love a garlic press because I just threw out the second one in the last few months. The garlic is best when fresh. the reason I threw the others out is because they never really worked all that well.
I am married to an Italian who loves his Italian food and garlic is a part of it.

I would likely use this as often as I make pasta. Remember to keep the garlic in a cool dark and dry place!

Definately YES!! Hubby eats so much garlic he sweats garlic..me I am a klutz and cannot use a knife without cutting myself :( So my garlic press is my best friend :)

would be much easier and a lot less cleanup to use this rather than a cuttiing board and knife……….would definitely use this!

Yes to the garlic press! It makes using garlic easier, clean up easier and your hands don’t smell as bad.

YES because I prefer my garlic very minced, I hate chunks.

Absolutely! We use tons of garlic and this would be easier I imagine than mincing it with the knife.

Yes, as we use a lot of garlic.

I would love one so, yes! I use tons of garlic in my cooking and would love not to smell like it all the time on my hands

Yes! I have always wanted one. It would make things so much more easier in the kitchen for me! lol

Garlic Press?

Absolutely 100% OMG YES!

I have an Italian background and I deeply enjoy cooking for myself. Using freshly minced garlic with a garlic press is an absolutely MUST as you get to capture all those volatile fluids and oils that are the most saporific thing a tongue can taste!

Where would we be without garlic :D

I’m also a subscriber :)

I don’t know if I’m supposed to post this but I just tweeted this giveaway here :D

I’d love to have a garlic press! Cutting garlic by hand takes a long time, sometimes I cut my fingers, and the smell stays on my fingers for a long time! :)

I love garlic, and a garlic press is good for keeping the garlic fine and hidden from view of picky eaters.

After reading this post I am deleting this feed. Garlic press, get real. No way no how never.

I am a yes to the garlic press and some people can be very funny about eating garlic if you don’t cut it small enough the garlic press works a treat. It also means that you keep the juice that you would usually lose when just chopping it up!

We haven’t had a garlic press in years- but I’d sure like one! Especially since we LOVE garlic!

In my house, cooking is not a spectator sport. I run my kitchen in a way that includes family and guest participation, and I have found that people who don’t cook on their own find that first taste of work in the kitchen incredibly satisfying. Often, that simple task of using a garlic press for the first time – which nearly anyone can do – is the gateway drug that leads people into greater highs in their own kitchens. Send me one, and I’ll put it to good use…

I do not have one but think I would like one to try.

Yes, Garlic keeps the Vampires away.

Yes. This would make it so much easier than the smash method that I use!

YES! I hate my garlic big. I like it very very fine. Thanks for the chance.

love a garlic press, would be easier to eat lots of it

I really haven’t been using a garlic press because the one I have quite frankly sucks. I would love one that really works though

I’ve never used a garlic press before but I think I’m ready to try.

Garlic press – YES! I use tons of garlic, add it to almost everything.

Garlic press yes! Fresh is way better than powder or freeze dried.

I use a garlic press when I am using lots of garlic and a knife when I am using just a little.

YES, it is so hard to chop and hammer garlic!!!

Yes – i love garlic and always have a jar of garlic in my fridge but i would love to have a press to be able to use fresh garlic

Yes! I use garlic in almost everything. I love it. But I make a mess when I’m too lazy to bring out the huge chopping board and instead squish the garlic on the kitchen table with a knife so my table gets stained and smells like garlic. A garlic press would make chopping garlic so much easier.

Yes – it’s so easy to use!

we recently got one and my husband loves how convenient it is!

yes, if I can find one that works and cleans easily (otherwise it’s not worth the trouble)

Yes!! This would be so much easier. Thanks.

Yes. My knife skills are poor at best, so a press would make dealing with garlic much easier.

I’d love to try a garlic press. We use garlic in EVERYTHING!

I’d like to win this for my friend Laura as she loves anything ‘kitchen’.

YES…. this item would be an asset to me if i had this hubby would do the garlic cause he loves cool gadgets. We use garlic in lots of our food for the heath benifits

I would love to use a garlic press instead of the side of a knife to mince garlic. It would be so much easier and safer.

I’ve always used a knife, but I hate the lingering smell of garlic on my fingers. I’d love to give a press the try!

If you don’t like the smell of garlic on your hands just run water over your hands while you rub them on the sides of a stainless steel sink. presto aroma gone.

Yes. We love garlic in everything.

I love garlic presses. They make cooking with garlic so much easier and quicker.

Considering I am sick with a bad cold and have found garlic to get rid of almost anything, this has sparked my interest =)

Yes, i would love one! I’ve never used a press before, but i bet it’s A LOT easier than squashing it with a knife!

Garlic Press? In a word, YES!

In fact, we go through so much garlic around here, you might as well just rename us The Gilroys!

We love Garlic and the Kuhn-Rikon Easy-Squeeze Garlic Press is the most lovely garlic press I’ve ever seen!

I would love to win! I have to cook from scratch almost every meal every day and it would make my life so much easier!

Yes to the garlic press – it’s quick and easy. And yes to a new one – mine is shot.

I love this! I cook with garlic all the time and this would really make my cooking life easier.

YES! I couldn’t live without a garlic press – we love everything garlic in our house.

Definitely a garlic press. It’s such a cool kitchen gadget.

Yes because I am VERY clumsy with knives, and mincing garlic for me entails a bit of blood with my meal. Yuk AND ouch!

Yes! We use a ton of garlic and this would make my life so much easier.

Garlic press – absolutely! Some dishes (and sauces) just wouldn’t be the same without fresh, pressed garlic! :)

Yes-we use a lot of garlic at our house

I definitely think having a garlic press is a must. I wish I had one. There have been many times when I have cooked with garlic where the garlic press would have come in handy.

Yes-presses make short work of mincing garlic.

Sometimes.

It really depends on the recipe. Sometimes I need the garlic to be subtle: garlic press yes. Sometimes, I want it to be bold: garlic press no.

I am a garlic user for just about everything that I cook! I would love to have one of these! Thanks for a usefull and great giveaway!

Absolutely YES !!! I really need a new one too :)

I say YES, anything to make it easier.

Yes! It’s so much tastier than the jarred kind even if it isn’t as convenient.

yes, I love a garlic press. Fresh garlic is the best and I dont like to get my hands stinky dicing it.

Yes, we love garlic and a press would make it so much easier to use.

It depends on what I want to use the garlic for. Sometimes I want slices or bigger chunks. thanks for the contest.

Yes, my wife is always cutting garlic, should would love this

I say definitely yes. I want only the freshest ingredients in my meals!

Yes to the garlic press, it makes life easier!

Thanks for the giveaway… Yes !!! I have ruined my share of knives (i.e. broken blades) by crushing garlic, pounding it on the cutting board under the side of a knife.

I usually say no. I hate to clean the garlic press and prefer just to chop it by hand. BUT – I would be willing to give this one a try!

I would say yes because we eat alot
of garlic in dishes we make and I
have a hard time with chopping garlic fine
enough.This garlic press would be a nice
treat for our family

I would say yes since i’ve never tried one before.
