Hey, don't any of you other woodworkers out there do any cooking? What
exactly does a garlic press do?

It reduces garlic to a pulp and extracted juices, as opposed to just smaller
pieces of garlic. This is often preferable for making real garlic butter,
dips, etc. Zyliss makes some good stuff, but their garlic press is only
okay. Having used many over the years, I find this one far and away the
best press:

Holds several cloves, built like a tank, and has long handles for good
ease-of-use leverage. Reasonably priced, too.
