Joseph Joseph Garlic Rocker Crusher Mincer Press Dishwasher Safe, Stainless Steel

I’ve been using this garlic press for over 3 months, and it’s easily the best one I’ve tried. I cook with fresh garlic almost daily, and this tool makes the process so much easier. It’s simple to use, effortless to clean, and made of high-quality, durable steel that feels very solid in hand. After testing several other options, this one stands out as the most reliable. If you’re considering it—just go for it!

I just looked at some of the other reviews...... I purchased mine in July 2018 and the one I received was the same high quality as the one I purchased at a store years ago. Not sure which seller is sending out the knockoff versions, but I purchased the one shipped direct from Amazon with no problems..Whenever I need to use this, it is always in the dishwasher because I use it so much. So I purchased another one.I love this and guests always comment that they are going to buy one after seeing me use it.It is simple and easy to clean, and does the job extremely quickly with no fuss.I can rapidly crush multiple garlic cloves by just smashing them down on my cutting board with this rocker - unlike the previous lever type crusher I had, where you would have to open, insert the clove, crush with the lever and repeat.The Joseph Joseph rocker allows you to smoosh to your hearts content.The only improvement I would make is maybe making the metal a bit thinner, as it is an extremely sturdy piece of equipment ( maybe the thickness is necessary so the rocker is sturdy enough) so that the garlic doesnt get stock in the holes so easily. However, a quick sharp tap on the cutting board usually disloges 99% percent of it, and even with the old lever type crushers, some garlic would get stuck in the holes with no easy way of tapping to remove it. So this one still wins, hands down. Plus it will last a lifetime! You would need to drive a car over this to bend it!So all round this is the best crusher I have used, and it makes a great gift too!If this review is helpful to you please click the helpful button.

This style of press is so much easier than others I've used, and infinitely better than chopping garlic by hand! My only complaint in that tiny bits of garlic get stuck in the holes, and you need a toothpick to poke them out.

Absolutely the BEST garlic invention ever! 5stars for sure!!!

Love this kitchen tool! I find it much simpler to use than a garlic press — way less fussing around to efficiently crank out multiple cloves of minced garlic. You can just mash out clove after clove until the top fills with the minced garlic then neatly scoop it into your prep dish with a spoon. (I don't understand what another reviewer was talking about when he said it's not very good for large quantities — "... it gets pretty messy." Huh??? For me, this works better for large quantities of garlic than anything else I've used, including just a good ol' chef knife. I've had no problems with it "getting messy".)The working part of this tool is flatter and more accessible, so it's easier to clean than a typical garlic press. If it takes any more than just a forceful rinse to clean out all the holes, I keep a toothbrush near the kitchen sink to give it a quick scrub and that's usually all it takes. It also helps to rinse it out right after being used instead of letting it sit for a spell before cleaning. Garlic juice becomes sticky when it dries.However, note that this tool will produce more of a minced garlic, rather than crushed/mashed garlic. Usually, I prefer minced, but some of my recipes call for really well-mashed garlic, so I still keep a garlic press handy, but the vast majority of the time, I'll be using this little kitchen gem. I'll probably be ordering more to give as Christmas gifts.

I think it's a nice little gadget but I honestly don't think I can say it's any better than the alternatives. I got this as an easy way to mince garlic for recipes since you can't beat fresh garlic, but chopping can be a pain. Mincing takes a good bit of pressure but isn't hard or uncomfortable because of the ergonomics. The issue for me though is that it's not helping me mince garlic any faster. It usually works fine for 1 or 2 cloves but any more than that and it starts getting clogged with cloves getting stuck to the bottom only halfway through the holes. Maybe there's a learning curve to it? In my experience though, I already have a knife out anyways to smash the cloves and make them easy to peel so it's usually just as fast, if not faster, to just mince it with the knife. It could maybe save you time mincing a large amount of garlic but at the point you're better off mincing in a mini chopper or food processor.I feel like this product definitely has a market of people that will find it very useful and it's not a bad tool, but for the average able bodied person like myself I don't see much benefit to owning it. Not something to avoid but assess your needs first because it's not something that'll save you time, it'll help you if you struggle to mince garlic with a knife or traditional press.

Some folks have said the garlic is not as fine as they would. I LOVE THIS ROCKER STYLE GARLIC PRESS!It definetely gets it finer then me wacking at it. And its easy to clean! A great buy too!

Works well for home use (I.e., a couple of cloves at a time). Can be easily cleaned with a brush. Resulting pieces are reasonably small. A quick & easy way to mince garlic. This is a solid tool that’ll last for a long time.
