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

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.

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.

SO purchased this and I thought it was a waste but it’s actually quite useful. I usually grate garlic because I don’t want to use jarred but I also don’t want to mince by hand. Once you peel and cut the end from garlic with slight to mild pressure you can push on a clove and it perfectly minces it. Four instead of five stars because it really only does a clove at a time and you need to flush it right away or clean up will need scrubbing. Stainless is fairly easy to keep clean.

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.

It cuts up the garlic into sorta big chunks, bigger than I’d prefer, but you can rock it over the results and get them smaller. And with that, honestly, it’s the best garlic press you can get. I do wish there was some kind of cleaning tool that came with it to get the stuck garlic out, but if you take it over the garbage disposal and blow (sounds dumb I know), it isn’t too bad.

I bought this because I like and use garlic often.My existing press is a very high quality, plier like, press and works well. But it is nit easy to clean.Thus one is easier to clean (but you still need a small brush to get the garlic out of the holes).But actually using it is kind of a pain in the ass.1) the clove often slides out from under the press so you often have to cut the clove in half and out the cut side down on the cutting board so it doesent slide out.2) you have to rock the tool in all directions which is not as easy as it sounds because rocking in the ‘narrow’ side if the tool dies not offer much leverage.3) it dies not consistently give as fine a grind as my plier type tool.4) you must use it against a cutting board. This is not a major issue for me as I am using a cutting board most of the time. But occasionally I add some more garlic to a pot of slow cooking sauce that is simmering. While it was simmering I usually clean up the kitchen and have already cleaned the cutting board.Overall, I find I can get results as good as this tool by just smashing a few cloves with the flat side of the knife and then just dicing up the smashed pile with my knife and adding it to the recipe.If I need a fine grind, or need to garlic after Ive cleaned up the kitchen I still use my plier type tool.This tool is quite sturdy and much easier to clean, but I would not buy it again especially for $20

This is the best garlic press!!!! It’s well made, sturdy, stainless steel, saves time, and works GREAT!!!!

For me, this is the easiest garlic press ever. I rock it over cloves once or several times to get the grate I want. It is easy to clean and washes beautifully.
