Is there anything worse than your fingers smelling like garlic? Listen, I LOVE the stuff and overuse it in almost every recipe, and the scent of it cooking on the stove is glorious... but on your fingers for sometimes days afterwards? No. However, I've never had great experiences with garlic presses, therefore I usually prefer to chop the stuff myself. That was the case until recently, when the people at Alpha Grillers (a company that manufactures high-quality kitchen tools available at Amazon) sent me a press and peeler set to review. First of all, I had never used a peeler before and this one was refreshingly easy. Just stick the clove into the tube and firmly roll it around with the palm of your hand and voila! The peel falls off. No smelly fingers yet. Now onto the press, which you can tell is high-quality by the feel of it in your hand. I've encountered so many presses that sort of fall apart when you open them. Not this one, and look at how much fresh, juicy garlic you're left with...
The only thing left inside the press is a very thin layer of peel. I will never try another method again!
On to the the best news: Alpha Grillers is going to give away THREE sets to YOU fine people! Just comment below to be eligible to win, and make sure to "like" AG on Facebook. You want to win this giveaway, that is no joke, WIN WIN WIN!! Good luck and thank you Alpha Grillers!

I've been wanting one of these for awhile! I use garlic in everything so this would make things much easier. This one looks like high quality too!
I can't imagine it being this easy - no more garlic fingers? Bring it on!
What a great addition to the kitchen:)
This would be great to have!
A meal is not complete without the awesomeness of garlic!
I always double, okay maybe triple the amount of garlic called for in a recipe. This would make my life easier!
That looks amazing! I've never had a garlic press that actually works!
I've been wanting one! I use garlic allll the time:) also I love your blog!
Ah! This would be amazing, and yes! sometimes the scent lingers for days after!
Fellow EHS alum ('06) here. Love your blog and your twitter humor. Would also love a garlic press! I think it's about time for me to evolve past using a few shakes from a 99 cent container of garlic powder when a recipe calls for it fresh...
Love garlic! This would make cooking so much easier!
This would be amazing! The garlic producers of the world would love the uptick in consumption if I could use fresh garlic without the mess!
I love your blog! My birthday is this month and would be a great present because I LOVE GARLIC TOO!
Love and need this! My fingers still smell like garlic from a recipe I made on Sunday that called for a press!
This looks like a must have for every kitchen!! I would love to add one to mine!
I need to give this to my mom. She has an old press that is terrible and I keep telling her to upgrade because a good garlic press changed my life!!!!
Love garlic! This looks like a great tool to have on hand in the kitchen.
My husband is a garlic fanatic and one of my best friends just gave us a "bouquet" of garlic from her garden! We sure could use this! Thank You for the opportunity!
Love. Anything to make life easier at 39 weeks prego. Does it come with a sleep nurse??

This would be perfect-I swear the garlic scent lasts for days!
I have been looking for the perfect garlic press:)
I've never owned a garlic press or peeler. These look amazing!
Garlic is GREAT- a peeler/press is even BETTER! :)
I have been searching for the perfect garlic press it makes cooking a quick meal so much easier.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who suffers from stinky (yet delicious) fingers after using garlic!
I think its garlics way of self-preservation because I always want to use more garlic after I've used garlic #trickytricky!

I am a garlic addict!!!
Yay for garlic presses.
Hot off the presses -- GAHLIC!
I will admit my shame....I buy minced garlic in a jar at Costco just to avoid what you talked about - smelly hands! This would take me and my garlic use out of the shadows! Ha!
A garlic press is a great way to not scream when you scrub your fingers with lemon to rid of the garlic smell and you realize you have a cut or hangnail- ouch!
My last garlic press broke and haven't yet replaced it.
I definitely could use it since I also use lots of garlic.
Guilty--my fingers still smell like garlic from cooking 2 nights ago :) I could definitely use one of these!
I put garlic in every thing! Three cheers for garlic!
What a fun giveaway!
I LOVE garlic, but not so much on my hands! Would love to win this gadget!
Need this!! Always use lemon peels to try to make the smell go away on my hands! PS Love your blog!
This would have been great to have when I made your baked snapper with white wine recipe!
Sometimes I rub a bit of garlic and olive oil on my wrist, just because its my favorite smell on the planet! I kid, sort of.
Man, this would be great to have! I can't stand garlic fingers!!!
Oh, what an amazing looking kitchen gadget. Must have.....
I use garlic everyday in everything. This looks like the perfect tool to have!
I would love this. I use garlic almost daily in my cooking!!
Sign me up! I'm not on FB but hope that doesn't disqualify me :-)
I've been wanting one of these so badly! Looks amazing..
A garlic peeler?! Brilliant! How did I not know this existed?!
No more stinky garlic fingers! Yes, please!!!
I love using a garlic press! I'm one of those people who that garlic smell lingers for at least a day, no matter how many times I wash my hands and what with and I've tried salt, a stainless steel bar, all of that stuff! My press broke recently, so I'm in the market for a new one - good timing for this giveaway! ;)
Yay garlic
This sounds amazing! I can finally stop keeping the refrigerated minced garlic company in business. Fresh all the way is in my future!
I love garlic!
My husband might pass out he'd be so happy if I won this!!
I would love to won this! I, like you, tend to use (overuse perhaps? lol) garlic in almost every savory recipe and have yet to find a great garlic press. Thanks for the chance to win this one!
I would love this set as I use a ton of garlic in my cooking. The more the better!
You can never have too much garlic!
I have been looking for a good garlic press FOREVER! We overuse garlic in pretty much everything as well.
Garlic makes everything better - I use it every day!
OMG.. My husband and I both need this in our lives.. No more smelly fingers!!!
Garlic, the Italian gold! I need! I need!
Oh I have looked at this but was scared to purchase! Now that you love it, I want it too!!
I don't think I cook any meal without garlic. #husbandbeware #nomnomnom
Thanks for the chance to win! I would love some help with tricky garlic chopping.
I love love garlic and I also double the amount it calls for in recipes. Plus it's healthy for you so it's a win-win!
I was so excited when i found a garlic press at a yard sale because i could never get myself to spend so much money on something i could do myself. My excotement quickly faded when i went to use it for the first time and the pressure to squeeze the garlic broke the cheap plastic it was made of ��
I love garlic, but I always have stinky fingers. I want this so badly!
It would be so great to own a garlic press :)
Amazing!
I absolutely love garlic and would love these tools.
I love adding garlic to my dishes and have never owned a garlic press.
great!! would love this!
This would make cooking with garlic a breeze. Would love this ! Thanks for your blog - I enjoy it so much and have been inspired to make many things from it! Including those monster cookies from tonight - oh yes, this weekend monster cookies will appear in my house. I only have 1 (14 month old) so I will hopefully manage to get this done if you do1
clarification - if you can make the monster cookies with 3 - i can make them with 1!
I would love this!!
Oh my this would make life so much easier! I'd love to win this.....crossing fingers :)
I usually use pre-crushed garlic from Trader Joes for the convenience. However, I know the real thing (straight from the clove) is better and would love to win this so I could make it easier to use fresh garlic on a regular basis.
Love it, I could stop buying the jar kind!!
me likey!!
Garlic and I are best friends!!!!
This looks FAB! I would la la LOVE to win and use this! Thanks for the chance to win!
