I don't think I've ever used one. They look hard to clean and it's
faster smucking them with a knife. My nephew was helping someone get
ready for a party and was given a garlic press and a few bulbs of
garlic. The people he was helping insisted that he use the press. He
said it drove him crazy and took two or three times longer than with a
decent knife.
