Question 1

Just recd and wondering if genuine ikea as seems very loose and wobbly on hinge or is this correct and no labels?

Accepted Answer

That “arm/lever” is supposed to be wobbly. Put it in the right place above the garlic clove and pull the two handles together. It’s very efficient indeed at forcing the garlic through the little holes. Well and truly crushed!

Question 2

Can I buy the circular bit that is taken in and out? Mine has gone missing

Accepted Answer

Hi

Unfortunately no, they come as a whole. They are not sold as a separate unit.

Question 3

I'm a little confused.  is this an ikea item or not?

Accepted Answer

I'm currently looking at the removable hopper (the bit where you put the garlic) from my old Konics garlic press which I bought from Ikea outlet. In comparison *this* product's hopper has fewer and larger holes. It's possible that Ikea have changed the design, but it's more likely that this product is a (decent-quality) replica. Neither press is well-made; the reason I bought this item is because with my real Ikea one the handles kept flooding with water when I washed it and then the dye-cast mechanism snapped. I'd advise you to spend £10 and get a decent all-steel garlic press. I wish more of them were designed so the hopper plates meet before the handles close together, like this model. In all other models I've used the handles are touching when in a fully compressed position, preventing further squishing and leaving unpressed garlic left in the hopper. I'm eleven years old.

Question 4

Can this be put in the dishwasher

Accepted Answer

I always put mine in the dishwasher, make sure you wash the inner part or at least rinse well so you remove all garlic left overs, the tiny bits of garlic trapped there as the dishwasher isn't able to do so.
Apart from that this product is dishwasher safe.
