Know before you buy
Unlike handheld models that require significant grip strength, this press uses a downward motion on your countertop to leverage your body weight. This makes it much easier to use, especially for those with arthritis or limited hand mobility.
No, this press is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the quality of the hard maple wood and stainless steel, you should hand wash it with warm, soapy water.
Yes, the press is designed to accommodate multiple cloves at once, which helps speed up your prep time when cooking larger meals.
The stainless steel arm is designed to be used as a soap-like tool. Rubbing your hands against the stainless steel under cool running water helps neutralize the sulfur compounds in garlic that cause lingering odors.
Because the unit features wood components, it is best to avoid soaking it in water. Simply hand wash, rinse, and dry thoroughly after each use to keep the wood in good condition.
