Vampires Beware! Bru Joy® Garlic Press is Here!

When I opened up the Bru Joy® Garlic Press, it was like I was a kid on Christmas. The hubs joked with me, “It’s amazing the things we get excited over when we’re adults.” Isn’t it, though? Well, I had a reason to be excited! Let me back up a minute…

Last year, my mom was in town and planned on making one of her amazing Colombian dishes. You know how sometimes there are just certain things that only mom can get “just right”? Well her pollo guisado is one of them. I didn’t have a garlic press, so we went to two grocery stores-I was definitely going to make the effort – hey, my parents live 3,000 miles away! I was seizing my chance. We ended up with a $15 el-cheapo that barely worked. I have resorted to chopping garlic with a knife ever since (along with that garlic smell that gets under the fingernails mmm can you smell it now??). Until I opened my Bru Joy®!

Not only is it actually a good lookin’ kitchen-tool, the quality is GREAT. It’s stainless steel, extremely sturdy and ergonomic! I put a huge clove in and went to work, except it wasn’t work. The clove just went right through. There was a little skin left behind, but this was the cleanest I’ve ever left a press. The cleaning brush is included, but I didn’t even need to use it! I rinsed it and – SCORE!- put it in the dishwasher. Love it.

I am SO getting one for my mom!Guess what? My mom isn’t the only one getting one!
