Dunno. I usually grate ginger on a plane grater and don't own a garlic
press. I have a ceramic dish-with-poky-stuff-sticking-up that's for
rating ginger or garlic, but mostly it just collects greasy grime on my
counter. A couple of events I've attended lately have been selling my
ceramic dish thingy ‹ for about 8-10 times what I paid for my in
Provence.
