I have a very simple way of pressing garlic. I peel the clove, lay it on
my cutting board (the side labelled "G") and WHACK it with the side of my
cleaver. Scares the cats, sometimes sprays garlic all over the kitchen,
but always presses the clove as much as I want. This flattened clove can
then be chopped into tiny pieces or thrown in as is.

This system is much cheaper than stainless steel Williams-Sonoma pressers,
and relieves aggression at the same time.
