What we liked
  • Presses unpeeled cloves — the skin stays in the chamber
  • Includes a silicone peeler tube and a cleaning brush
  • Costs less than a jar of fancy garlic paste
What we didn't
  • Zinc coating can flake after heavy dishwasher use
  • Squeeze takes real grip strength for small hands

The best thing about the Zulay press isn’t the press — it’s that you can throw a clove in skin-on and squeeze. The peel stays behind in the chamber, the garlic comes through clean, and you never touch the sticky, papery mess. If garlic shows up in most of your cooking, this removes the single most annoying step.

The included extras aren’t filler. The silicone peeler tube genuinely works (roll a clove inside it for a few seconds and the skin slides off), and the little brush pokes the leftover bits out of the holes in one pass. For a tool this cheap, the kit feels complete.

One durability note from long-term owners: the zinc coating can start to flake if it lives in the dishwasher. Hand-rinse it with the brush and it holds up fine. And be warned — pressing unpeeled cloves takes a firm two-handed squeeze, so smaller hands may want to peel first and halve the effort.
