Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The press works well for garlic, and can work for ginger as well as long as the pieces are smaller. Most of the garlic you put into the press will be minced, but a little will get stuck on the side since the diameter of the press bit is slightly smaller than the well (this is normal for garlic presses, but higher quality presses like this one will have tighter tolerances). However, it's easy to just dislodge the pieces into the center and use the press on the remaining bits. The press can fit 2-3 cloves of garlic at a time depending on the size (just not elephant garlic). I recommend putting multiple in at a time to get the most use out of the pressing action, then dislodging the stuck bits and pressing again.
