Rösle 12895 Stainless Steel Garlic & Ginger Press with Scraper for Effortless Mincing with Easy Cleanup, 13-inch

Great quality! Works well, cleans easily

I have long struggled on my quest to get the perfect garlic press. So mundane, but so important. I found one good product decades ago that was cast aluminum solid construction and it worked well. Unfortunately, the rivet holding the handle to the base broke and I was forced to put a bent nail to hold it together. It worked, but it looked pretty pitiful. Models appeared along the way, but could not measure up to this solid purchase.Along came the Roesle products. I had purchased a peeler that was solid and well constructed. So I opted to finally replace my old press for its version. It also featured a "cleaning" option.This product is spectacular! It is not only solidly constructed as a stainless steel press, but the pressure I am able to exert on the pressing action is so much better... it has a better mechanical advantage than my treasured older one. Moreover, the cleaning option is simply a movement of the straining part of the press to be available for direct cleaning. So the difficulty removing the leftover fibrous part of the clove is eliminated. The material can be easily rinsed off (or in some cases the material can be easily added to the stew pot if appropriate). The archaic effort to unclog the micro-holes of my old press with a toothpick or needle simply goes away. Any remnants stuck in the holes of the exposed part will reliably wash off in the dishwasher.Trust me that it is worth the price if you regularly use garlic like we do. No more of the, "Jeez, should I add another clove or two" decision. It is so easy, you make the right choice every time. While I don't go to the extent that some have said about not peeling the clove, I do at least cut off the attachment end of the clove (and then you can leave the paper on the clove) before putting it in the press.I am a happy Roesle garlic press user!

This garlic press works exceptionally well and cleans easier than any other I have tried. It’s a wonderful addition to my kitchen toolbox

This is the best garlic press I have ever owned. It thoroughly presses the garlic cloves and is fairly easy to remove garlic. Also easy to clean.

I can decide if I like it or not. It is a little finicky to clean, as you have to flip up the grater and also manipulate the legs quite a bit. I’m able to put unpeeled garlic in it, and it does pulverize it. But picking out the paper after each clove is a bummer. I just think there’s no easy garlic solution, that preserves the taste the way whole cloves do

WAY over priced for the quality. It does an average job pressing garlic, but is miserable to press ginger or turmeric with, despite the advertising.It is very hard to squeeze fully closed, had to use the counter for leverage.It is not at all easy to clean as the scraper feature serves no function other than to push bits into the nooks and crannies of the hinges which are not easily washed out.Do not recommend

I eat garlic every day as a matter of good health. I have worn out scores of ordinary presses. I own both the older and the newer 2018 Rosle presses. Both are exceptional , but the newer 2018 model is better. The new model screen locks into place whereas with the old model you had to hold it in place with your thumb. The new model has a curved ,deeper screen which allows the press handles to come closer at the start of the press making it an easier, one handed operation. Finally the scraper works perfectly allowing you to eliminate using a knife and having to clean an extra utensil .compairativly in the press world , there is no equal to the Rosle 2018 press. I peel my garlic cloves , but it will press the garlic unpeeled. It can go in the dishwasher, but it cleans up just fine by running it under water in the sink after use. Thank you Rosle this one is perfection.

WHAT A GREAT PURCHASE...THIS GARLIC PRESS IS AWESOME. Easy to use, does not require a beefy guy to squeeze out the garlic. There is a scraper that pushes the garlic out. I even put in unpeeled garlic and this press spit it out effortlessly. Easy to clean. Dishwasher safe. What a joy. Spend the money - this thing is so worth it. This Rosle press replaces a press I bought just over a month ago that was less expensive. However, that purchase turned out to be a big mistake. Initially I was going to donate that press, but I can't do that to someone...it now resides in the garbarge...after one month. So spend the money, it will save you money in the long run.
