I love much of what Pampered Chef has to offer. This was a WONDERFUL garlic press. VERY easy to use, and quite fun! Cleaning was a cinch, even without a dishwasher. I heard a friend say that her child used it for playdough! I never tried that, but it is versitile. I hate getting processed food, so fresh garlic is a nice thing to add to our dishes. Very sturdy and longlasting. You won't be disappointed.
