I think a good garlic press is great, but there are lots of shitty ones out there. Like the one I have that leave half the clove unpressed. I only use it when I'm lazy.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Oh, no, wait - I just noticed I've been saying looser rather than loser.
Hey: D'oh!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We use something like this to chop garlic if we don't feel like doing it by hand. It's a lot more convenient than a full-size food processor, with the two of us.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You probably have more of a freelance type job with them? No?
Works for me--I know not of the definitions. But I do earn an irregular amount from them each week.
The winds here are annoying. They knocked out power at the only store I know of nearby that sells Alpen, so I had to try a different store and three different types of cereal, none of which taste remotely right. Still howling out there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I love my garlic press - I don't even have to peel the garlic! I think it's a Zyliss.
Mincing is one of those things that I am terrible at. It's either whole cloves, large slices, or the press for my garlic.

I think it's a Zyliss.
I think Zyliss is the ATK recommended press.

I use this chopper because I have terrible knife skills, and I can never get the garlic peices small enough.

I really enjoy chopping garlic (and veggies in general), and one of the reasons I bought us new kitchen knives for Christmas was to have much shrper knives and improve my technique.

I buy my garlic in a jar, minced. It might cost me a little more, but saves me from stinky hands.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I use the mini-chop attachment on my stick blender to chop garlic since garlic presses are a PITA to clean sans dishwasher.
