It actually "extrudes" which destroys more cells in the garlic to make it far stronger in dishes requiring you to use far less. And, hell yeah, it is 100 times faster than crushing with a knife. I find it is easier to run it under water before you use it and once every bulb of garlic pressed. That prevents the juices from drying at any one time and making it stick.

I have a Pampered Chef garlic press and it is miles better from the generic cheaper ones. I'm talking a night and day difference in easy of use, cleaning, and performance. So, I'm betting that 90% of the people that complain about them have been using a shitty one. They may as well say all knives are shitty because they keep using plastic flatware knives.

Mine will do 3 normal-size cloves at once. I can crush 2 bags of garlic bulbs (like 20ish bulbs) in about 5 minutes, probably less if I hustle. I'd like to have a table mounted garlic press that can do an entire garlic bulb in one press.
