Garlic is a key ingredient in many dishes around the world, known for its distinct flavour and health benefits. However, peeling and mincing garlic can be a tedious and time-consuming task. This is where garlic crushers and garlic presses come in. These kitchen tools make it easy to prepare garlic by quickly crushing or pressing the cloves. Besides saving time and effort, garlic crushers and presses have benefits beyond just convenience. They help to extract more flavour from the garlic and can even improve its health benefits. At Harris Scarfe, we offer a great range of quality garlic crushers and presses with innovative construction and design, making mealtime prep easier than ever.

Is it better to chop garlic or use a garlic press?

Chopping garlic is a classic technique that allows for greater control over the size and texture of the garlic pieces. It's perfect for recipes that call for minced or finely chopped garlic, such as stir-fries, pasta sauces, or salad dressings. By finely dicing the garlic, you can distribute its flavour evenly throughout the dish, creating a harmonious blend of tastes. To chop garlic like a chef, you'll need a well-sharpened chef's knife.

When time is of the essence, or you simply prefer a more convenient approach, a garlic press or crusher becomes your trusty companion. With a simple squeeze, a garlic press effortlessly transforms whole cloves into a smooth puree, releasing the full intensity of garlic's flavour. This method is ideal for recipes that require a stronger garlic presence, such as marinades, roasted meats, or garlic bread.

You may also wish to use a fine grater or Microplane, which is another great method of garlic preparation.

Why Choose a Garlic Crusher or Press?

While chopping garlic can be a satisfying and precise technique, a garlic crusher or press offers several advantages that make it an essential tool for every kitchen:

1. Time-Saving: With a garlic press, you can skip the tedious task of finely chopping garlic cloves. In a matter of seconds, you can achieve a consistent garlic puree, saving you valuable time in the kitchen.
2. Enhanced Flavour: By pressing garlic, you release its essential oils and intensify its flavour. This method ensures that every bite bursts with the unmistakable taste of garlic, elevating your dishes to new heights of deliciousness.
3. Convenience: Garlic crushers and presses are incredibly easy to use and require minimal effort. Their ergonomic designs make them accessible to all, allowing even novice chefs to enjoy the benefits of freshly crushed garlic.
