This garlic press does a great job of giving you minced garlic. I like to mince up several cloves and store in my refrigerator, so I don't have to spend extra money for the pre-minced stuff in the jar. The thing that made this an exceptional Garlic Press to me is that the inside piece comes out so you can wash it separately. That is a HUGE advantage over others that I have owned!! The biggest reason I have not liked using a press in the past, is it is a pain to clean them up! Not the case with this one!! Great product!
