My old one has finally given up the ghost and I need to replace it with something nice and new as I have a strange aversion to chopping up garlic - AKA as laziness.

So, what's good? Zyliss? Kuhn Rikon? Jamie? Faringdon? OXO?
 
Might not be what you want to hear, but what I do is crush it hard with the side of a large blade then it is easy to chop it up a little bit too as it sticks to the board and you can run the knife through it a couple of times to get the bits smaller.

Every garlic press I've ever had has pushed more garlic up and out of the sides than through the press. Lots of cleaning up :(
Keen to see if anyone knows of a good one too tbh
 
Just a bog standard press is fine, I prefer the rounder ones rather than the more teardrop shape as I find they don't have the room for the garlic to squeeze out of the sides.

That video is amazing! Love stuff like that, looks impressive too when you have people around and you're preparing food!
 
I do tend to use a knife I have to say. My baby kin is my fav as you can get it diced as small as you like. Do want a good press mind, but not one that is crap and 1. can't fit anything in, 2. the holes are so small most is left in the press, 3. it's nice to hold

Hard to find I've found.

I just crush it like others.

If you crush it really hard it'll naturally splitinto dpseveral bits length ways. Super easy to peel once crushed. Just run the knife across if for small chunk and if you want pasted add some salt and crush whilst scraping with side of kide.
 
I've found the skin peels off really easily if you just chop both ends of the clove off.

I'm going to try the 2 bowl method next time though:cool:
