Yeah that is the only gripe I have with mine is that I don't have any other use for it aside from making sweet, sweet garlic mush.
Mine is so easy to clean, easier than a knife I would say. Just use it, flip it, hit the holes with the built in tool under running water. Shit is clean.

Unitasker!!!
Unless you get to them right away, garlic presses, even the reversible ones can be a sticky bitch to clean. I'm not joking about the unitasking part. My kitchen space is relatively limited and garlic presses tend to be bulky. I already got a knife and chopping board and know how to use them. And more than likely, you already have them out from chopping onions.

Yeah, I don't have any religious objection to them, just an unnecessary thing to get out and clean when you already chopped the onion and you can just keep going with the shit you used for that. I also prefer it minced into little individual bits more than the mush that you get from the press, but it's not a difference that's worth getting too fired up about one way or the other. I have seen Alton Brown just smash the shit out of it with a granite sample from Home Depot which Bourdain would also probably not approve of.
I don't care about the press, but how often do you want a garlic puree? I make one thing on a regular basis that wants the mush: garlic bread. Everything else is slices, minced, or whole.

I made rice with the leftover liquid. It didn't work in my rice cooker though, had to do it manually. The rice cooker would shut off because it kept thinking the rice was done or some shit. It was delicious but still hard.
I also had rice and steamed broccoli with the chicken all on the rice cooker. Set it and forget it for the entire meal!

I'd never use a garlic press. Do what I do - put a clove in your mouth and chew it until you get enough saliva to form a paste. Then stand above your children and spit it into their open mouths as would a bird.
It might sound strange but you'll never go back to using a garlic press once you try it.

Jalapeño Popper Pizza - Damn Delicious
Extremely delicious. Looks like shit in that picture, though. Didn't take the time to spread my bacon out very well, I'll admit. But according to the McCheese Law of Pizza it's pizza.

Did you cook a pizza in a cast iron pan? How did that not burn the crust before the cheese browned?
Wish I could go back in time and kill whoever invented Monterey Jack cheese. Bland, waste of space cheese.
It wasn't a little dry? Didn't see any sauce. Even white pizzas have some oil between the cheese and dough.

I have a tiny ceramic plate with these nubs on it. Garlic, nutmeg, cheese, it breaks down anything you only want a small quick quantity of really easily, then just tap it in to whatever

This is probably the best thread ever on RR, for whatever thats worth.
But you Brussels sprout lovers are as bad as in-the-shell sunflower seed eaters and for exactly the same reason. Both of these foods, if eaten your eyes open, have little bugs and worms inside them anywhere from 10-33% of the time. Its not hard to test. Buy Brussels sprout 3 times, either from different markers or far enough arpart in time to be reasonably confident theyre different batches. As youre eating the little bug factories, peel off the leaves one by one. Youre not going to find the occasional insect. Youre going to find a metric fuckton of them all at once. That nutty caramelized flavor you were enjoying? Yeah.
You'll either thank me or hate me but if you havent been peeling apart your sprouts and looking at whats inside those little fuckers you have been living a lie.

I probably should have done this. I reduced the liquid and added a knob or two of butter. Good, but over spiced, I thought.
Always go with the Gravy, baby.
