More surface area = more release of oil into whatever you're cooking = better flavor. Proper garlic preparation for the recipe is just what you do. Or, I suppose, you could always go with this.

Lifehack: No need for an expensive kitchen gadget, just whack the peeled garlic clove with the flat of your knife, maybe give it a slice, throw it in! Walla!

This is what people who actually cook proper food do because it's a hell of a lot faster (unless you only use one clove in which case it's not proper food) and also easier to clean.

I have a combination garlic press/cherry pitter. I only needed the cherry pitter but that was the only thing they had. Now I'm on the lookout for one that also has a nutcracker and maybe a pair of pliers like a multitool designed by a mad person.

The GWS general thread had this argument a week ago. Here's the summary: "Lol garlic presses are dumb" "gently caress you, I like mine and I find it handy." "Lol ur dumb." "Kiss my rear end, if I want to use one, I'm the one who washes it." The end.

Jerry Cotton posted:But, as I said (and as anyone can verify), using the press takes a hell of a lot more effort Mine presses the garlic right out of the skin. it takes about 2 seconds to pull off a clove and press it. It takes considerably longer than that (for me anyway) to trim, peel, and crush garlic with a knife. The press also produces way more juice or oil or whatever.

Garlic presses are easier if you don't cook very often so you don't have great knife skills. I used one until I got interested in cooking and now it's faster for me to use a knife. There's nothing wrong with using a garlic press if it's easier for you, but you're not going to get better with a knife if you don't practice. Same with this this hack for peeling garlic:

Anthony Bourdain posted:Garlic is divine. Misuse of garlic is a crime. Old garlic, burnt garlic, garlic cut too long ago, garlic that has been smashed through one of those abominations, the garlic press, are all disgusting. Sliver it for pasta, like you saw in Goodfellas. Smash it with the flat of your knife blade.
