For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    What kind do you have?

    I have an ancient one, probably my great grandmothers, and the garlic just gets smashed into the square-but-actually-round holes and it’s impossible to get most of it out.

    Mostly it makes smashed garlic, which I can do with a knife much more easily…

      I got an Oxo Good Grips one for my Christmas this year and I think it’s the last press I’ll ever need

        Pampered Chef also makes a very nice one. Usually pampered chef is terribly overpriced but they do have a few high quality gems in the catalog.

          Yeah I saw those but they were stupidly overpriced like every they do . The Oxo ones were about €30, amazing price for a BIFL item
