Garlic Presses

What would a fresh pizza be without garlic? Aioli without its punchy flavour? Or spaghetti aglio e olio without the aglio? Well, one thing's for sure: a lot of flavour would be missing – and somehow a little passion too. To make sure that doesn't happen to you, you'll find the right garlic press for your kitchen with us. It makes preparation simple and pressing no trouble at all. And the garlic? It's nicely prepared, releases its aromas and essential oils and gives your kitchen creations that very special garlic note. Got a taste for it? Then choose your favourite from our kitchen gadgets and make your garlic dishes even better!

Whether it's a garlic rocker or a classic press – one thing matters with every model: materials and workmanship should be high-quality and robust. After all, processing the pungent bulbs takes a lot of force, which the kitchen tool has to withstand. The ideal garlic press is also dishwasher-safe, so it doesn't depend on washing up by hand. That's why metal models are much more resilient here than plastic garlic presses. With us, you can rely on quality and durability, because at kjøk we offer kitchen products that aren't fast food but something you'll enjoy for a long time. Not a short-lived trend, but a long-term companion at the hob. And that applies not only to our garlic presses but also to our knives, spice grinders and more.

… so don't let any recipe tell you how much of it goes into your food. Whether it's just one clove or half a bulb: with a good garlic press, you can crush any amount in no time. And that has many advantages over slicing or chopping: pressing releases more aromas and essential oils, so your dish benefits from the full flavour. Half-hearted about garlic? Not in your kitchen, not any more. At kjøk, we've put together a selection of different presses for you – each model has its own advantages. Which one is still missing from your kitchen?

While garlic is used a lot in Mediterranean cooking, Asian cuisine has ginger, which also brings a very special note to food and contains essential oils too. One problem keeps cropping up when cooking with ginger: it's tricky to chop finely. In fact, a large garlic press makes it easier: peel the ginger, cut it into smaller pieces and press it. And it's ready to add its note to your delicious creation. By the way: if a dish calls for sliced rather than pressed garlic, you'll of course find the right knife for that in our shop. The utility knife is your all-rounder for cutting. If you want to chop the cloves finely, the chef's knife is the right choice.

Speaking of fine – that's what they should all do, of course: press the garlic as finely and evenly as possible. How that happens depends on how you like to work. The classic metal garlic press works by leverage: two handles meet at a perforated chamber with a press plate above it. When you bring the handles together, the press plate pushes the garlic through the holes. The other version is a so-called garlic rocker: an elongated, curved perforated plate with a handle, operated by pressing down on the handle with your hand. This pushes the garlic through the holes in the plate. One clove not enough? With this type of press, you can process several cloves at once, while a conventional press usually only takes one at a time.

Of course, cooking isn't about speed – but when hunger strikes, you don't want to keep it waiting too long. At kjøk, we offer high-quality garlic presses for quick cooking and long evenings in the kitchen – black, large, smaller, made of metal: choose the model that meets your cooking needs and make sure no garlicky dish falls short in future. The models with ergonomic handles and efficient power transfer make crushing effortless and give you valuable support in the kitchen. Relaxed cooking, delicious food. Sounds good? Even better: we'll send your kitchen utensils quickly and with free delivery, so you can start cooking straight away. Feeling hungry? Spaghetti aglio e olio, tzatziki, barbecued meat and many other delicacies are waiting for you to make them.
