[edit] Pressing with the peel on
Can all presses do this? I thought it was only a feature of certain makes; we have one from Ikea whose advertising proudly called attention to this ability. (My husband insists on using it, and believe me, it is not easy to clean no matter what the sellers want you to think.) Perodicticus 09:19, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
- They can all do it, there's no special design to allow it. It does, I believe, put more strain on everything, so a sturdier press is less likely to break or deform. I've seen advice to just cut the cloves in half with the peel on and put them in the press cut-side-down, as well, which probably makes the job easier for the press. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:00, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
