How To
How to Make A Garlic Press
A garlic press is a valuable tool in every home cook's kitchen. 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.
However, if you don’t already have a garlic pressing machine, you might wonder how to get one. We have some tips to help get you started.
First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Place the bowl beneath the press, and then pour the crushed garlic in it. Now, set the pressure regulator valve to the maximum.
Next, turn the handle clockwise until you 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 to turn the handle counterclockwise, until the blades are closed.
Finally, take the pressed garlic out and enjoy!
These are just a few of the many ways you can use this versatile tool.
- You can add minced garlic to soups and sauces, salads, dips, or as a seasoning.
- To crush whole garlic cloves, use the press to create a buttery spread
- Place whole garlic cloves in a pizza dough and crush them before baking
- Combine roasted garlic with mashed potatoes and creamy polenta
- The press can be used to make pesto from garlic
- Blend the garlic into a smooth vinegar dressing
