Yes, you need this. I promise.

And? I swore for years I didn’t need a garlic press. That I was perfectly fine mincing and chopping garlic all on my own. I already had a knife out? Why did I need to have another piece of equipment to worry about, to clean?

I’ll tell you a secret. This garlic press? It’s dishwasher safe. My knives? Are not. I don’t have to wash it. I just have to rinse it, and throw it in the dishwasher.

Another secret? You can throw the whole garlic clove, peel and all inside… and it still minces the inside, and peels off the outside. Yes, you heard me correctly.

A piece of kitchen equipment that goes in the dishwasher, and does in 1 step what would take me 3 different ones? Yes please.

Therefore this? is a piece of kitchen equipment that you too need.
