Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zyliss Susi 2 Garlic Press
Customer Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Once upon a time I used a garlic press that seemed to work and it never occurred to me that there was much difference between them, or even that there were different presses out there. The I aquired a different Zyliss garlic press for about six years, and I raelly liked it, until one day it snapped as I tried to press some garlic with the skin still on. (Some manufacturers (including Zyliss) say you can do this with their garlic presses, but now, I think I'll just pass on that. But that was a great garlic press.)
I then purchased a Pyrex garlic press (no, it wasn't made from glass), thinking it looked well made, and how bad could it be? But I was very surprised to discover it simply did not work--the handles would meet before much of the garlic had been pressed through the holes. I really couldn't understand why anyone would make such a thing, but there it is.
So I then decided I'd stop fooling around and get myself another decent garlic press, and went through some obsessive review-reading, and finally settled on this one. It works, and it works well. Put in the garlic, press, and virtually all of the garlic comes right out through the holes.
A few issues for those who are looking for the perfect garlic press:
This is made of aluminum. If you're concerned about Alzheimer's, look for a steel press. Also, being aluminum, it may not be quite as durable as steel, although it seems plenty tough. (Yes, I've read about the coating coming off. We'll see. If that happens I may try to scrape off the rest of the coating.)
It doesn't take much effort. But if you really have difficulty squeezing--arthritis, perhaps--there may be one out there that takes a wee bit less effort.
I really don't get the "hard to clean" business. Really, I don't. I've been using garlic presses for many years, almost daily. When you're done, you rinse it under the tap and stick your finger in there, scrape a little, and it's clean. If it isn't, do it a little more. This one is no different from any other I've ever used. If you need a garlic press with it's own cleaner, look elsewhere--and then be sure to keep an eye on it and carefully store it with the press, day after day, year after year, so you don't have to clean with your finger. (My previous Zyliss came with a plastic cleaning tool. I misplaced it within a week or two and never missed it.) I would never choose a garlic press by whether it comes with its own cleaner, but it takes all kinds.
This model holds one large or two medium cloves, not three or four, so if you want to press several big cloves at once, I believe Zyliss makes a larger one you might prefer.
Description of Zyliss Susi 2 Garlic Press
The Zyliss Susi 2 Garlic Press is a reinvention of the old classic. Updated with a contemporary ergonomic styling, the generously sized bowl accomodates even large garlic cloves. Plus the integrated plunger peels as it presses with integrated nodules that help speed up cleaning. Use the Susi 2 to maximize extraction of garlic bits and juice, leaving only the papery skin behind. A generous-sized bowl accommodates even fat garlic cloves.Garlic Tools
