Serious Eats looked at (and tasted) the best.
The traditional method involves using a sharp knife to cut it into little bits or a paste.
That takes lots of time.
Garlic presses, on the other hand, are much easier: just peel and press.
you’re free to also grate it with a microplane.
Each of those methods, however, changes the flavor of the garlic.
Which you want depends on your tastes and the recipe in question.
