Ototo Rockula Garlic Press

The rocking motion uses your body weight to crush the garlic against the cutting board, which is generally less strenuous on the hands and wrists than squeezing a traditional lever press. It also allows you to mince as much or as little garlic as you need without stopping to empty a chamber.

No, the Rockula Garlic Press is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it immediately after use to prevent garlic residue from drying and hardening in the holes.

Stainless steel is non-porous and resistant to odors, so it will not absorb the strong scent of garlic like plastic tools might. A quick rinse with soap and water is usually enough to keep it smelling neutral.

While the press can handle unpeeled cloves, peeling them first will result in a much cleaner mince. If you prefer to skip peeling, you will need to scrape the skins out of the press holes after each use.

Yes, the ergonomic design is specifically intended to reduce strain. Because it relies on a rocking motion rather than a tight squeeze, it is generally much easier to operate for those with arthritis or limited hand strength.
