How To

How To Make A Garlic Press?

A garlic press can be one of the most important tools in a home cook's toolbox. It makes it easy to mince garlic into a paste, puree it into soups or salad dressings, or even make a sauce. You can also crush whole garlic cloves to make buttery spreads or garlic seasonings.

It's possible to be confused if you don’t yet own a garlicpress. Here are some tips that will help you get started.

First of all, you'll need to get a large bowl. Place the bowl underneath the press and pour the crushed garlic into it. Set the pressure regulator valve at the maximum setting.

Next, turn your handle clockwise to hear a click. The top portion of the press should come off, revealing a flat surface. You can slide the blade across the bowl. Continue turning the handle counterclockwise until the blades close.

Finally, take out the pressed garlic.

These are just a few of the many ways you can use this versatile tool.

Use minced garlic in soups, sauces and salads as a seasoning or even as a garnish.
