[net.cooks] Garlic press

Re: Garlic question

this week, I saw a different kind of garlic press .

One side was a flat surface with lots of holes.  the other side was
another flat surface with as many cylindrical pegs as holes, looking
a little like a spaghetti fork.  seems neat as the holes don't stay
clogged with garlic pieces.  price was a little below $5.

has anyone tried one of these ?  any reasons to avoid some models ?

I've been using the type of press you describe for a few years. It
avoids the waste of garlic characteristic of earlier presses, but not
the scorn of purists dogmatic in their resistance to pressing garlic.

I think it's fine, and can't detect any difference between garlic
diced with a knife and put through the press.
