A Cooking Thread?
LTK:
Those are usually called garlic presses, right? I bought one off Amazon a while back because I was sick of the shitty quality on the presses they have in the shops here. The last one I bought broke after three good presses. The one I have now is solid zinc, and heavy enough to make a good bludgeon. It usually doesn't need more than a hot water rinse to clean.

You need an easy-clean one, like this:

I can't think why they are not more common.
Ignominious:
I find that the flavour of pressed garlic is a little different from chopped garlic. It does fry quite differently. So I do choose between the two carefully. Pressed is definitely a preference if you want it raw in a sauce or a salad.
For cleaning, I find if you put it in with the general washing up or a dishwasher the smell and taste transfers to all the other kitchen ware. I generally stick it in a cup or bowl of cold water for ten minutes or so before washing. Any left over skin and stuff usually lifts off easily after that. I do have a removeable grill though.
Cornelius:
I haven't used one of those in ages. I usually just either chop my garlic, or crush it under the heel of my knife.
However, before it broke, I just scrubbed it off under the tap, with a hard brush.
Morituri:
Cleaning garlic crushers is mildly annoying, but a brush does great.
My dear wife (the same who swears by undiluted cold brew coffee) likes to mix crushed garlic or ginger with vanilla ice cream. I prefer plain vanilla, but I've tried these mixes and they make less nonsense than I expected. They're actually good.
And now I'm wondering how wasabi powder will affect it....
