A garlic press. It's the only thing I ever asked my parents for that they owned. They had it since the 70s.

The reason I know it's great is because all the others I've ever used are inferior.

This one is in two distinct pieces which you place together to work. The metal is kind of grey and dull but it's incredibly strong.

It's easy to clean. Indestructible. Powerful.

Easy to clean is so important. My parents’ garlic press is far superior to the one we have

I'd love to know where you guys are getting these, because every garlic press I get falls apart.

As far as I can tell the one I have was made in France in the mid 1970s and is irreplaceable.

I've tried some, but I've finally given the Ikea garlic press a try and I'm happy with it. Easy to clean, robust.
