It's not.
The press is a bit wasteful. A clove of garlic doesn't run clean through. Furthermore, they're a pain in the dick to clean.

Thirdly, Allahton Brown, blessings be upon Him, said they're bad, so knownothings who've never used one, don't cook and can't give you reasons against it just scream "NO! THEY'RE BAD!!!" and "Allahton Brownbar!" at you just because He happened to say so and for no other reason than that.

Nope. Smash the garlic with the flat side of your knife. It takes literally one second. You're done before you've even found the garlic press.

>>and doesn't require a surface to chop stuff on.

OK, I'll grant you that. But surely you already have your cutting board out for the rest of your meal? What would you be doing where you need garlic but no cutting board for anything else?

You know that garlic presses are an alternative to mincing the garlic, rather than just peeling it, right? You peel the clove of garlic either way.

>What would you be doing where you need garlic but no cutting board for anything else?
Hummus

Garlic press is objectively faster than using a knife to mince the garlic. It's also definitely going to take longer to clean, but I don't think it's much of an issue. The only good reason I've seen to use a knife over it would be that you don't already own a press, or you're really concerned about wastefulness like >>6293829 said.

>>6293855
>You know that garlic presses are an alternative to mincing the garlic, rather than just peeling it, right? You peel the clove of garlic either way.

When you smash the garlic with your knife it simultaneously peels it and minces it for you. Want it minced "coarse"? Smack it gently. Want it minced "fine"? Smack it hard. Want a paste? Smack it really hard. The peel simply falls away, requiring no real effort to remove.

On the other hand, with a garlic press you need to first remove the peel, then press it. This step is skipped by smashing the garlic on the cutting board instead.

>>Garlic press is objectively faster than using a knife to mince the garlic

I disagree. I can put a clove of garlic on the board and smash it in literally one second. It's done. Finished. Peeled and minced in one smack. It would take me much longer just to pick up the garlic press, let alone to peel the garlic first and then use it.

Taco shell maker. Used to make homemade hard taco shells from corn tortillas. Not hard to do, and it's useful if your family LOVES hard taco shells.
Downside is that you have to get the deep fryer going to make those, and if you've already got that going, why make tacos and not something else?
But I'm sure Mexican restaurants appreciate that those things are still made.

For the most part, you're right, however, a sifter guarantees that no clumps will remain while a whisk-and-bowl can only say that there are "practically" no clumps.

because it's not supposed to be a whisk. Why would it work as a whisk if it isn't even supposed to be a whisk, nor intended to be a whisk?

In all seriousness though, it probably doesn't work for shit for stirring. In my experience, the only reason you really need to stir something that's simmering, that you can also walk away from, is because the heat is too high. If you lower the heat, no neat for constant stirring because no threat of burning.

If you want to make something for a small serving that just requires a little bit of garlic, garlic press is superior.

Have a girl over. Make something requiring a little garlic. Mincing by hand is going to make your hand fucking reek of garlic. Takes at least a day to get rid of that smell.

I know people working in kitchens don't realize how much they smell of the food they prepare, but it is fucking disgusting. Garlic presses help one of the most disgusting aspects of this.

I guess gloves could help with this, but this is an alternative.

>Mincing by hand is going to make your hand fucking reek of garlic

First off, why would it get garlic on your hand at all? Unless your knife skills are horrible you can mice the clove while barely touching it.

Second, even if you do get garlic all over your hands why not just wash them? Rubbing your hands on a metal object while you wash them gets rid of the smell. You can buy a device for this (called a "no-onion bar" google it), or you can use any metal object, like a piece of silverware.

While that would be nice, it's sadly never going to happen. These days everyone seems to want to push off everything onto schools, but at the same time schools are struggling meeting international standards and thus everything that is not "core academics" is in high chance of being cut. Wood shop? Home Ec? Metal shop?, etc? They have nothing to do with standardized testing, and they're also lawsuit bait when little Jenny cuts her finger learning how to peel a carrot. Alas, those sorts of classes are disappearing.

Thankfully, it's totally unnecessary for a school to cover this. That's what parents ought to be doing.

Biggest problem with all these specialized kitchen gadgets: they take up valuable counter and cabinet space.

If you are living in a small apartment, a chef knife, a cutting board, a frying pan, a sauce pan, and a moderately big pot are all you need and you can free up much more space.

And for every sandwich machine, garlic press, apple corer, whatever you don't have you can have something like an immersion blender or a spice (aka coffee) grinder that actually does a lot of different jobs.
