Cuisinart Chef's Classic Pro Garlic Press

Yes, it features a swing-out basket design that makes it simple to remove garlic skins and residue. While it is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel.

The handle is designed with an ergonomic, soft-grip material that conforms to your hand. This construction is specifically intended to prevent slippage, even when your hands are wet or oily from cooking.

While many garlic presses can handle unpeeled cloves, this model works most efficiently if you peel the cloves first. This ensures you get the maximum yield and makes the cleanup process much faster.

It weighs 0.68 lbs, giving it a sturdy, professional feel without being cumbersome. At just under 10 inches long, it fits easily into most standard kitchen utensil drawers.

It is specifically engineered for garlic. While it might crush small items like ginger, using it for harder ingredients can damage the basket mechanism or the hinge, so it is best to stick to garlic.
