Garlic grinders can peel and mince the cloves, while others can only crush peeled garlic. Choosing the right grinder for your needs requires analyzing the convenience it offers and what size of garlic it produces. Benefits of Using a Garlic Grinder Some grinders give you different speed options, but the manual ones require hand labor, and the grinding speed depends on you.

The Zyliss Susi 3 is a traditional-style press that comes with a silicone cleaning device that stows away within the unit. It has a large chamber that can fit two or three garlic cloves and features a nice, flat grate that allows you to easily scrape off the minced garlic. The best feature of this press is that its cleaning tool won't easily get lost.
