BETTER LIVING WITH A GARLIC PRESS

You’ve probably got one in a drawer. You probably haven’t used it in a while. That’s too bad. Unless you have a very good knife game, mincing the garlic can lead to uneven bits, some of which can burn and turn astringent over the heat before the larger ones soften. Because a garlic press juices the garlic, it also yields a milder, sweeter flavor overall. What’s more, a garlic press is for way more than garlic! You can put pickled jalapeño rings, cocktail onions, even fresh ginger through the press to produce unrivaled rubs, marinades, spreads, and sauces without all the chopping. So get out that press. You’re going to need it.
