The Ikea Koncis Garlic Press

Ok, so most people (aside from college students) don't get overly enthusiastic about Ikea products. I can see why. They are hard to put together and they don't last as long. There are some notable exceptions and Ikea cookware is one of them. The most impressive cooking tool at Ikea is the Koncis Garlic Press.

It is the most efficient garlic press I've had the pleasure of using. Not to mention it looks pretty darn good! And I just learned that it presses unpeeled garlic cloves too! Wohoo, no more peeling for me!

Even my mom was impressed with the press. I first tried this press at a friend's party in the Boston area (along with other Ikea cooking tools), so I have to give him credit for this find. Thank you Francisco! You have changed my kitchen for the better.
