The Ultimate Garlic Press Showdown: Our Top 5 Picks (And Why You Should Use One)
GARLIC PRESS TEST: In Season 1, Episode 1 of Food52 Approved, Kristen Miglore puts 15 garlic presses to the test to determine the best picks across five categories. She also clears up a common misconception about the controversial garlic press - that they’re unitaskers and a sharp knife and cutting board or a microplane can do the same job.
