Overview
A busy weeknight kitchen gets crushed garlic without a knife or sticky fingers from the OXO Good Grips press. Cloves go into a large chamber, the handles squeeze them through a hole pattern, and the skins stay behind for the built-in cleaner to push out.
Skipping the peeling step is the strongest reason to own it, since whole cloves go in and the skins come back out. It only crushes, so sliced or finely chopped garlic still needs a knife and a board.
Who it's for
Daily garlic users who want to skip peeling get the most from it, because the press handles whole cloves. Cooks who prefer knife cuts, or who want a light gadget for a crowded drawer, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Presses unpeeled cloves
- Skins stay behind in the chamber
- Built-in cleaner on the top handle
- Soft handles cushion squeezing pressure
- Heavy for a small hand tool
- Crushes only, no slicing option
- Warranty is a satisfaction guarantee, no fixed term
Performance notes
Results depend on the hole pattern and the squeeze: the handles lever force onto the cloves and push the flesh through while the skins stay in the chamber. Soft handle grips absorb some of that pressure, which reduces hand strain over several cloves. Leftover pulp is pushed out by the cleaner on the flipped top handle before a rinse.
