Garlic press Zyliss E960016 — aluminium body with stainless steel handle, single-piece kitchen tool

The Zyliss E960016 Garlic press is a single-piece kitchen tool with an aluminium body and a stainless steel handle designed for efficient crushing of garlic cloves. It presses multiple cloves quickly and produces finely crushed garlic suitable for sauces, marinades and dressings. The design emphasises ease of use, simple cleaning and reduced direct contact with garlic.

Advantages

This garlic press allows pressing several cloves at once, including unpeeled cloves in many cases, reducing preparation time. Its aluminium body combined with a stainless steel handle provides durable construction while the single-piece pressing mechanism ensures consistent, fine results. Ergonomic handles deliver smooth leverage for comfortable pressing and help keep hands free of garlic odor. A swing-out grid simplifies cleanup and removal of residue.

Suitable for

• Preparing sauces, dressings and marinades that require finely crushed garlic
• Everyday meal preparation where quick garlic processing is needed
• Home cooks seeking a durable, easy-to-clean garlic press

When it may not be suitable

The tool is optimised for garlic cloves and may not be suitable for crushing very large quantities for commercial kitchens; manual effort is still required for repeated pressing. It also may not replace a blender or food processor when very fine purée or large-batch processing is needed.

Key specifications

• Body material: aluminium
• Handle material: stainless steel
• Type: single-piece press (handle-style garlic press)
• Function: crushes multiple garlic cloves into finely pressed garlic

How to use

Place one or more garlic cloves into the pressing chamber and squeeze the handles together until the garlic is forced through the grid. If desired, unpeeled cloves can be pressed depending on size and skin condition. After pressing, swing out or open the grid (if present) to remove leftover peel and pulp and rinse or wash the tool under running water. Dry thoroughly before storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: home kitchen use vs. high-volume commercial processing
• Material preferences for durability and handle comfort (aluminium body with stainless steel handle)
• Ease of cleaning and whether the swing-out grid suits your cleaning routine

Usage recommendations

For best results, use medium-sized cloves and apply steady pressure with the ergonomic handles. Clean the grid promptly after use to avoid dried residue; rinsing immediately makes removal easier.
