Tefal Fresh Garlic Press - Red

While the press can handle most cloves, it is highly recommended to peel the garlic first for the best results and easier cleaning.

This tool is designed specifically for garlic. Ginger is much more fibrous and may damage the mechanism or become stuck easily.

Hand-washing is recommended to extend the life of the tool and ensure all garlic residue is thoroughly removed from the press holes.

Ensure the device is thoroughly dried after every wash. Avoid leaving it in standing water or damp environments.

It is best to press one clove at a time to ensure even pressure and prevent the chamber from becoming overfilled.

The handles are designed for room-temperature use; do not place the tool on hot surfaces or leave it resting on a hot pan.

Use a small stiff-bristled brush or a toothpick to poke out remaining garlic fibers immediately after rinsing.

Check if a piece of garlic skin is blocking the hinge or if the clove size is too large; try slicing the clove in half first.

Ensure the handles are completely dry before use and confirm you are gripping the handles at their furthest point from the hinge for maximum leverage.
