Non-Slip Aluminum Garlic Press and Ginger Crusher, 16 cm Long

Garlic is the one job in the kitchen where the tool fights back. You squeeze, the handles slide out of your greased palm, and half the clove is still sitting in the chamber.

What Are the Key Features of This Non-Slip Aluminum Garlic Press?

• Non-slip handles: the grip is the working part of a press. It keeps the squeeze from sliding out of an oily palm, which is what lets you finish the press in one movement instead of chasing it.
• Unpeeled cloves go in whole: the skin stays behind inside the chamber and the garlic comes out, so you are not sitting there peeling before you can start.
• Aluminum, so it is light in a working grip: the tool's own weight is load your hand carries before it crushes anything, and less of it makes a full head of garlic easier.
• Rustproof: it goes back in the drawer damp after a rinse, which is what happens to a small tool.
• 16 x 4.5 x 3 cm, all three measured: short enough for a cutlery tray, shallow enough to lie flat in a drawer, and wide enough at 4.5 cm to take a fat clove uncut.

Where Can You Use This Garlic and Ginger Press?

• Over the pot when a molokhia needs a full head of garlic
• Beside the board while a koshari sauce is being built
• On a marinade the night before, garlic straight into the bowl
• On fresh ginger for tea in winter
• Into a cutlery tray beside the spoons, where its 3 cm depth lets it lie flat

Why Choose Aluminum Over Steel for This Garlic Press?

• Grip is the working part of a press: with garlic oil on your fingers, a bare metal handle slips and stops being something you can press with.
• Non-slip handles finish it in one movement: the squeeze does not escape sideways into three half-hearted attempts.
• Aluminum is a deliberate choice: the tool's own weight is dead load your grip carries before any garlic is crushed.

Details

Material & Build

• Aluminum body: light in a working grip, and rustproof, which is what a tool rinsed under the tap and dropped into a drawer while still damp actually needs.
• Finish: silver.

Dimensions

• Length: 16 cm. A tool you hold inside your fist, so it drops into a cutlery tray and needs no pot on the counter.
• Width: 4.5 cm. Read as the chamber width, this is the figure that says a fat clove of Egyptian garlic goes in without being cut first.
• Depth: 3 cm. It lies flat in a shallow drawer instead of jamming it.

Care

• Rinse under the tap, or put it in the dishwasher. The inner part lifts out, and opening and closing it a few times clears the residue.
