Why would you use one of these to crush garlic when you can achieve the same result with a microplane / zester with less mess and cleaning?

if you're going to complain about someone being too much of a baby to use a utensil in this specific garlic related context, you should at least choose a utensil that isn't pointless if you have a good knife and aren't a baby

Because it's simple and easy and takes no work to accomplish the task. That's not a Zyless btw, and for the naysayers who think it's hard to clean, no, it's not and it includes a handy dandy cleaning tool. As long as you don't let the garlic dry on the thing the cleaning tool will, without a doubt clean it right up with the help of some running water.

I want a strong flavor as well as a paste texture so it can melt into the food. Dipshits on /ck/ act like the salt+chop method is fine for making paste but I guarantee I can use a garlic press and clean it before you get a smooth paste with just chopping. You're not Gordon Ramsay, fuck off.
