What does it do that my knife can't? I manage quite well without a
press. One less thing to wash too.

But don't you have to wash the knife, Goomba?

Well, sure. But it's a rare day indeed that I use garlic that I don't
also have to whip out the ol' chef's knife to chop some veggies, so I'd
be washing the knife anyways.

Well sure, but usually only after it has also sliced, diced and minced
other components of the meal prep. What *else* can that garlic press do?
Nope.. I don't need one. I'm pretty handy with a knife <hehehehe>

Mince ginger in a way that Rich doesn't complain about it in the food.

Oh....great idea. I never thought to use it that way. I'll have to
suggest that to him next time he is doing stuff with ginger!

Be careful mincing ginger with a garlic press... some aren't strong enough!
My DH bent the hinge pin in our old OXO garlic press when trying to press
ginger. After purchasing a new OXO (with a larger holding bin - YUMM more
garlic!) I advised him to use his hand held grater - not quite a planer...
but not a "normal' grater... (?).

Anyway, just fair warning that you might overexert your mincer.

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!!!!
