How To

How to Make A Garlic Press

A garlic press is an essential tool for any home cook. It allows you to efficiently mince garlic into a paste or puree it into a smooth sauce, soup, or salad dressing. It is great for crushing whole garlic cloves in a buttery spread, or garlic salt.

But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. We have some tips to help get you started.

First, get a large container. Place the bowl underneath the press and pour the crushed garlic into it. Now adjust the pressure regulator to the maximum.

Next, turn your handle clockwise to hear a click. The top end of the press should lift and reveal a flat area that allows you to slide your blade back and forth across the bowl. Continue turning the handle counterclockwise to close the blades.

Finally, take the pressed garlic out and enjoy!

Here are some other ways to use this versatile tool:

• Use minced garlic in soups, sauces and salads as a seasoning or even as a garnish.
• You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
• Make pizza dough by crushing whole cloves.
• Blend roasted garlic into mashed potatoes or creamy polenta
• Make pesto with garlic mashed in the press
• Blend the garlic into a smooth vinegar dressing
