I think the one I have will be perfectly adequate. I just got a new
garlic press in Dec 2003 and it is heavier than any garlic press I have
ever purchased in the US. The ginger we get here is locally grown and
the roots are not as large or as thick as the ginger purchased in the
US. Our housekeeper hasn't managed to destroy this garlic press like
she did my other one (the OXO) and like she did my grapefruit knife
and my whisks. She thought the grapefruit knife was bent so she
straightened it for me AAaaaaargh!!!!
