Best Garlic Press Ever Made

[substitute]

The Rösle Garlic Press (Amazon link)

It reliably crushes even two cloves at once. You don't have to keep cleaning it as you use it. And when you're done, you swing out the grate and put it under the tap and rinse it off, done. None of that "is all the garlic out yet?" stuff, and it doesn't have one of those plastic "cleaner" thingies that will promptly get lost. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

You mean sort of like doing that half-chinup gesture some guys do when they pass an overhead bar that is intended to suggest 'I could do twenty, but I'm a little busy right now...'? 8^)

IME, mincing garlic and dicing onions with a proper chef's knife is a *great* way to impress... those whom one wants to impress. Provided of course that one finishes with the same number of fingers as one started with.

It's true, actually. I'm a kitchen luddite.

My coordination at the level for "chopping" sucks, and I do it poorly. Also, I am impatient. I use a variety of tools for chopping including a mandoline and a food processor.

Being a luddite is easier when you're good at the task with simple tools. Technology means anyone can do the job.
